Active clinical trials for "Uveal Neoplasms"

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.

This phase II trial studies ipilimumab and nivolumab with immunoembolization in treating patients with uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunoembolization may kill tumor cells due to loss of blood supply and develop an immune response against tumor cells. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab with immunoembolization may work better in treating patients with uveal melanoma.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well sunitinib malate or valproic acid works in preventing high-risk uveal (eye) melanoma from spreading to other parts of the body. Sunitinib malate may stop the transmission of growth signals into tumor cells and prevents these cells from growing. Valproic acid may change the expression of some genes in uveal melanoma and suppress tumor growth.

This research study is studying a targeted therapy called BVD-523 as a possible treatment for advanced uveal melanoma.

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of autologous CD8 positive (+) SLC45A2-specific T lymphocytes when given together with cyclophosphamide, aldesleukin, and ipilimumab, and to see how well they work in treating patients with uveal melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). To make specialized CD8+ T cells, researchers separate out T cells collected from patients' blood and treat them so they are able to target melanoma cells. The blood cells are then given back to the patients. This is known as "adoptive T cell transfer" or "adoptive T cell therapy." Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, may 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. Biological therapies, such as aldesleukin, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving autologous CD8+ SLC45A2-specific T lymphocytes together with cyclophosphamide, aldesleukin, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.

Single arm study with dose escalation Phase Ib cohort followed by a Phase II cohort. PAC-1 (PO) will be given daily on Days 1 through 21 of each cycle (28-day cycle). Entrectinib (PO) will be given daily on Days 1 through 28 of each cycle. Response will be evaluated after every 2 cycles. Treatment will continue until disease progression based on RECIST criteria or intolerable toxicity.

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite successful control of the primary tumour, metastatic disease will develop in approximately 35%-50% of the patients within 10 years. The liver is the most common site for metastases, and about 50% of the patients will have isolated liver metastases. Isolated hepatic perfusion is a regional treatment where the liver is completely isolated from the systemic circulation, allowing a high concentration of chemotherapy to be perfused through the liver with minimal systemic exposure. The introduction of modern immunotherapy in the treatment arsenal for cutaneous melanoma also creates hope for patients with uveal melanoma metastases. However, the results of immunotherapy have so far been disappointing. The reason for the low efficacy could be that uveal melanoma develops in the immune privileged eye. The hypothesis in this trial is that isolated hepatic perfusion with melphalan causes an immunogenic type of cell death by local tumour destruction while leaving the immune-system intact. This will cause an activation of the immune-system and the addition of ipilimumab and nivolumab will enhance this effect, ultimately increasing the treatment efficacy. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of isolated hepatic perfusion together with ipilimumab and nivolumab when given at the same time or as a sequenced regimen. The study design is a phase I randomized controlled, multicentre, open-label trial. Active follow-up will be performed for 2 years. Patients will be randomized after diagnoses of metastatic disease to one of the following treatment arms: Arm A. Patients will be treated with IHP followed by 4 courses of ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg every third week followed by continued nivolumab 480mg q4w up to 1 year. Arm B. Patients will be treated with 1 course of ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg followed by IHP after 3 weeks and then another 3 courses of ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg every third week followed by continued nivolumab 480mg q4w up to 1 year.

This phase II trial studies how well vorinostat works in treating patients with melanoma of the eye that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab and ipilimumab work in treating patients with uveal melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether radiation provided locally to the liver tumor vasculature environment will demonstrate a response of tumor decline. This radiation may cause the tumor cells to die.
