Active clinical trials for "Uveal Neoplasms"

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of PLX2853 in combination with trametinib in treating patients with uveal (eye) melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PLX2853 works by targeting and inhibiting certain activities within cells that promote tumor growth. By inhibiting these activities, PLX2853 may help to stabilize or reduce the growth of tumor cells. Trametinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving PLX2853 in combination with trametinib may help to shrink and stabilize tumor cells in patients with advanced uveal melanoma.

This randomized phase III trial studies sargramostim or vaccine therapy alone to see how well they work compared to sargramostim and vaccine therapy together in preventing disease recurrence in patients with melanoma that has been removed by surgery. Sargramostim may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether yeast derived sargramostim and vaccine therapy are more effective alone or together in preventing recurrence of melanoma.

This proof-of-concept study will evaluate the ability of vorinostat to induce the transformation of Class 2 uveal melanoma cells into a cell phenotype that resembles normal melanocytes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether GSK1120212, a MEK inhibitor, is an effective and safe treatment for cancer subjects with metastatic uveal melanoma and mutation-positive GNAQ or GNA11 metastatic melanoma.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the best dose of glembatumumab vedotin when giving together with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as glembatumumab vedotin, nivolumab, and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Phase II clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of cediranib and durvalumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) with biopsiable disease at first line of after failure to first line systemic or liver directed therapy.

Prospective, open labelled, monocentric trial to evaluation of the circulating tumor DNA rate in the blood, before and after curative resection of hepatic metastasis of uveal melanoma (HMUM) and during post-surgery follow-up

The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of entinostat and pembrolizumab can be an effective treatment for patients with melanoma of the eye (uveal melanoma) that has spread to other sites of the body (metastatic disease). Pembrolizumab is an antibody that helps the immune system to attack cancer cells. Although pembrolizumab has proven clinical efficacy in treating patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma, an effect on metastatic uveal melanoma has not been established. Entinostat is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that has effects on both cancer cells and immune regulatory cells, thus potentially enhancing the effects of immunotherapy.

Reports to date show limited efficacy of immunotherapy for uveal melanoma. Recent experimental and clinical evidence suggests synergy between radiation therapy and immunotherapy. The investigators will explore this synergy with a feasibility study of 26 patients with uveal melanoma and hepatic metastases who will receive SirSpheres Yttrium-90 selective internal hepatic radiation followed by immunotherapy with the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab.

This is an investigator-initiated Phase I study of a single dose of an intravitreally-administered dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex™) in subjects with uveal melanomas (UM) and exudative retinal detachments (ERD: build-up of fluid under the retina that causes it to detach) being treated with proton beam radiation (PBI) or plaque radiotherapy. Although PBI is an effective treatment for UM, ERDs may persist after radiation, leading to vision loss. Effective treatments for ERD are currently lacking. We are conducting this study to evaluate whether Ozurdex™ can help resolve ERDs that occur in patients with UM. Ozurdex™ has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat certain ocular conditions such as macular edema, non-infectious uveitis, and diabetic macular edema but it is not approved for use in patients with UM and ERD. This study will determine the safety of the dexamethasone implant and provide preliminary evidence of efficacy in this population.
