The purpose of this research is to identify biological characteristics occurring in the initiation and progression of melanoma.
Background: - Skin disease can have many causes. It can have widespread consequences, and in rare cases can lead to death. Researchers want to determine the causes of various types of skin diseases and find a way to treat them. Objectives: - To determine the causes of various skin diseases and find ways to treat them. Eligibility: - People ages 2 and older who have: - A skin disease or at risk of developing a skin disease OR - A family member of persons with a skin disease - Healthy volunteers ages 2 and older Design: - Participants will be screened under a separate protocol. - Participants may take a survey about how their...
This Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open-label, multicenter study follows a 3+3 ascending dose escalation design to determine the MTD/RP2D and to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, and antitumor effects of LNS8801 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study will include a dose escalation phase, a dose expansion phase, and phase 2A cohorts. Up to 200 patients will be accrued for this study. Up to 15 study sites in the United States will participate in the study.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QBS72S in participants with advanced, relapsed, metastatic cancer with CNS involvement
The goal of this clinical trial is to to assess the dose level of dinutuximab Beta (DB) when combined with 2 different induction chemotherapy regimens (named GPOH or rapid COJEC) in newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma patients. The main question is: • to assess the safety and tolerability and identifying the recommended phase II dose and/or the maximum tolerable dose of dinutiximab Beta when combined with 2 standard induction chemotherapy regimens Participants will receive: - GPOH + dinutuximab beta infusion duration = 10 mg/m2 × 5 days (50 mg/m2/course) in 21-day treatment intervals. - Rapid COJEC + dinutuximab beta infusion duration = 10 mg/m2 × 3 days...
Immunotherapy (IO), such as treatment with anti-PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 inhibitors, is a rapidly expanding treatment for multiple metastatic cancers with improved survival for certain cancers. However, the optimal duration of immunotherapies is currently unknown. Our hypothesis is that a reduced dose intensity of IO could be as effective as the current standard treatment in term of prevention of the disease progression. If proved right, this study will have a positive medico-economic impact by reduction of the costs associated with the treatment and the toxicity, and an increase of the patients' quality of life.
Novel treatment modalities like targeted therapies and Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionised the therapeutic landscape in oncology and hematology, significantly improving outcomes even in clinical contexts in which little improvement had been observed for decades such as metastatic melanoma, lung cancer, and lymphoproliferative neoplasms such as chronic lymphoid leukemia or Hodgkin lymphoma. However, major issues remain unsolved, given the frequent occurrence of primary or secondary resistance and the still incomplete understanding of the physiopathology of adverse events, which represent a major cause of morbidity and treatment interruption and often remain difficult to...
Study in children and adolescents of 177Lu DOTATATE (Lutathera®) combined with the PARP inhibitor olaparib for treatment of recurrent or relapsed solid tumours expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTR) (LuPARPed)
This trial studies health outcomes after treatment in patients with retinoblastoma. Gathering health information over time from patients and family members through vision assessments, samples of tissue and saliva, and questionnaires may help doctors learn more about what causes retinoblastoma, identify long-term health outcomes for patients with retinoblastoma, and find out which therapies may be the best for treating retinoblastoma
Background: Glioma is a type of brain cancer. Some of these tumors have gene mutations. These mutations can cause a substance called 2-HG to build up in the brain. This makes the tumors more aggressive. Researchers want to better understand 2-HG buildup in the brain. They hope this can help them design better ways to test for gliomas. Objective: To monitor the level of 2-HG in the brains of people with gliomas that have mutations in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with gliomas with mutations in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and cancer history Physical exam Reviews of their symptoms...
