Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

Purpose of this Pilot Study: The investigators want to study the safety, side effects, and benefits of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), when they are given with the drug ipilimumab. Ipilimumab is a type of immunotherapy - a drug that is used to boost the ability of the immune system to fight cancer, infection, and other diseases.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of aerosolized aldesleukin and to see how well it works in treating patients with cancer that has spread from the original tumor to the lungs. Biological therapies, such as aerosolized aldesleukin, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of onalespib when given together with dabrafenib and trametinib in treating patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma or solid tumors that have spread to another place in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Onalespib, dabrafenib, and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well dinaciclib works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Dinaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of the study drug, ensartinib, on the patient and the cancer. Ensartinib is a new, investigational type of treatment for melanoma with a particular type of abnormality.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) combined with lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) compared to pembrolizumab alone (with placebo for lenvatinib) as first-line treatment in adults with no prior systemic therapy for their advanced melanoma. The primary study hypotheses are that: 1) The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab and placebo as assessed by Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), and 2) The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab and placebo as assessed by Overall Survival (OS). For this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.

Melanoma has become a growing interdisciplinary problem in public health worldwide. It characteristically disseminates in an orderly progression through lymphatic channels to the regional lymph node and then to more distant sites. Sentinel lymph node excision (SLNE) is probably the most important diagnostic and potentially therapeutic procedure for melanoma patients. This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, superiority, 2-parallel arms trial comparing sentinel lymph node excision with or without preoperative hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography in patients with malignant melanoma.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of an anti-PD-1 antibody (Spartalizumab (PDR001)), a BRAF inhibitor (dabrafenib) and a MEK inhibitor (trametinib) in unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 mutant melanoma

This is an open-label three-arm phase 2 trial (including a Simon stage 2 design) consisting of 90 stage III melanoma patients randomized 1:1:1 to receive either 2 courses 3 mg/kg ipilimumab + 1 mg/kg nivolumab every 3 weeks (Arm A), 2 courses 1 mg/kg ipilimumab + 3 mg/kg nivolumab every 3 weeks (Arm B), or 2 courses ipilimumab 3 mg/kg, directly followed by 2 courses nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Arm C). All three treatment arms are applied prior to surgery at week 6, 30 patients per arm. Patients will be stratified according to treatment center. An interim analysis will be performed after 13 patients have been included in each arm, thus in total 39 patients have been included. PRADO extension cohort The trial will enroll in total about 100-110 melanoma patients with macroscopic stage III disease (RECIST measurable disease); inclusion will stop when 50 patients have achieved a pCR or pnCR. All patients will be treated (after marker placement into the largest lymph node metastasis) with the winner combination identified in the first part of the OpACIN-neo study which is 2 courses ipilimumab 1mg/kg + nivolumab 3mg/kg, q3wks. After 6 weeks of treatment, the patients will undergo only surgical resection of the marked index lymph node. Thereafter subsequent surgery and adjuvant therapy will be performed according to the achieved pathologic response.

To evaluate the overall survival of HLA-A*0201 positive adult patients with previously untreated advanced UM receiving IMCgp100 compared to Investigator's Choice of dacarbazine, ipilimumab, or pembrolizumab.
