Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

This phase Ib trial studies the best way of TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with a solid tumor that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic), progressed for a long time (persistent), come back (recurrent), or is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressed). TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 together with cyclophosphamide may be a better treatment for solid tumors.

This phase II trial studies how well capmatinib, ceritinib, regorafenib, or entrectinib work in treating patients with BRAF/NRAS wild-type stage III-IV melanoma. Capmatinib, ceritinib, regorafenib, or entrectinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how PLX3397 and pembrolizumab work together to affect cancer cells. PLX3397 is designed to target the receptor for CSF1 (CSF1R). Pembrolizumab is designed to block the interaction between the receptor PD-1 and molecules that bind PD-1. In this study, PLX3397 and pembrolizumab are being given together in order to study their combined effects on patients' immune responses to their tumors. Tumor-specific immune responses have been shown to kill cancer cells and/or to stop tumors from growing. Part 1 of the study (dose-escalation phase) will establish the safest dose of PLX3397 to be given in combination with pembrolizumab. Part 2 of the study (expansion phase) will include an evaluation of efficacy of this combination in the following tumor types: Advanced melanoma: prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy but never responded Advanced melanoma: prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and responded but later progressed as defined by irRECIST while on therapy Non-small cell lung cancer Ovarian cancer Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Squamous cell cancer of the head and neck

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, anti-tumor activity, and identify a tolerable dose of AMG 228 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.

To determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and efficacy of ImmuniCell® in patients with melanoma, renal cell cancer (RCC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is an adaptive design that has 3 stages: Stage 1 - dose escalation, Stage 2 - efficacy, and Stage 3 - confirm efficacy in one of the tumor types.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies health care coach support in reducing acute care use and cost in patients with cancer. Health care coach support may help cancer patients to make decisions about their care that matches what is important to them with symptom management.

In the BRIM-3 trial, which was conducted in patients with previously untreated advanced melanoma harboring the BRAF V600E mutation, vemurafenib, a potent inhibitor of mutated BRAF, was associated with prolonged overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to dacarbazine. In the same setting, combined use of vemurafenib and cobimetinib, a selective inhibitor of MEK, yielded a significant improvement in PFS and response rate, compared to vemurafenib monotherapy, along with an advantage in OS, which did not cross the pre-specified significance bounderies (COBRIM trial). In treatment-naïve patients with mutated BRAF, both anti PD-1-based immunotherapy and BRAF-targeted agents are feasible therapeutic options, with the former and latter agents being associated with more durable and earlier responses, respectively. As suggested by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, the use of combined BRAF and MEK inhibitors in patients with progressive disease after immunotherapy, is also feasible, but it is not supported by category 1 evidence, in view of the lack of studies conducted in this setting. The main objective of this phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combined use of vemurafenib plus cobimetinib in advanced melanoma patients who have received first-line systemic immunotherapy for inoperable locally advanced / metastatic disease.

This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for BRAF-mutant melanoma. The drugs involved in this study are: Itacitinib (INCB039110) Dabrafenib Trametinib

The primary objectives of the Phase 1b part of the study are to evaluate the safety, as assessed by incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT), of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with previously untreated, unresectable, stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma. The primary objective of Phase 3 are to evaluate the efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec with pembrolizumab versus placebo with pembrolizumab, as assessed by progression-free survival (PFS) (response evaluation by blinded independent central review using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) and overall survival (OS).

The purpose of the study is to determine whether additional doses of ipilimumab have a positive effect on survival in the treatment of advanced melanoma that has progressed after successful initial treatment with ipilimumab.
