Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, representing only 5% of all skin cancer but 80% of all death by skin cancer. Diagnosis and treatment of melanoma must be early because prognosis depends on stage disease. Immunotherapy is used in metastatic melanoma. However, all patients not respond to immunotherapy. Helioderma (photoaging) is a marker of exposure to UV rays and therefore of mutagenesis. Thus, helioderma could be associated with the response to immunotherapy.
This is an open label, single arm, phase II multicentre study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide chemotherapy followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib maintenance therapy in patients with HG-NETs who are chemotherapy-naïve for their metastatic disease. The study will be conducted in up to 10 sites and will recruit up to a maximum of 20 evaluable participants.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival(OS), achieved by HX008 Plus Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) or Temozolomide Plus Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in the First-Line Treatment of Subjects With Stage IV (M1c) Melanoma That is Metastatic to the Liver.
This is a run-in, randomized, non-comparative, phase II study designed according to a two stages optimal design by Simon. This phase II design will be preceded by a safety evaluation after the first cohort of 6 patients to preserve a high-grade of overlapping and/or unexpected toxicity rate. The study will assess the immune-objective response rate (iORR) (assessed using iRECIST criteria) of nivolumab combined with ipilimumab and guadecitabine or nivolumab combined with ipilimumab, in Melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients resistant to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Immune biologic correlates to treatment will be assessed...
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about treatment for a type of brain tumor called a meningioma. This study will enroll two groups of people. One group will be for people who will receive surgery to remove their brain tumor. The other group will be for people who have previously received treatment for their brain tumor but do not have any other available options for treatment. The primary goals of this study are: 1. To measure how much of the study drug is present in tumor tissue taken from patients during surgery to remove their brain tumor 2. To measure the length of time between a study...
This phase I/II trial will investigate the use of the novel oral IRAK-4 inhibitor CA-4948 in combination with pembrolizumab therapy following stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBM). The investigators hypothesize that the addition of CA-4948 will reduce the rate of distant intracranial failure and reduce the need for subsequent radiation therapy. The investigators also propose that it will have a significant reduction in radiation necrosis and improve patient-reported symptoms and quality of life. This trial represents the first time an oral IRAK-4 inhibitor has been used in combination with aPD1 ...
pNENs still have a risk of recurrence after radical resection, and the overall recurrence and metastasis rate is as high as 13.7%-36.2% in China. At present, there is no standard adjuvant therapy for pNEN, and prospective studies are still lacking. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial to explore the efficacy and safety of surufatinib in the adjuvant treatment of pNET, in order to further improve the prognosis of patients and to provide high-quality research evidence for adjuvant therapy.
Background: A type of drug called monoclonal antibody immune checkpoint inhibitors are often used in cancer treatment. These drugs help the body s immune system fight cancer by blocking proteins that cause cancer cells to grow. One of these drugs (atezolizumab) is approved to treat certain cancers. Researchers want to find out if lower doses of this drug might provide the same benefit with fewer adverse effects. Objective: To test different doses and timing of atezolizumab for people with cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with cancer that has spread locally or to other organs. They ...
This is an open label, Phase 1b safety, dose-finding, brain tumor delivery, and pharmacokinetics study of intranasal NEO100 in patients with pediatric-type diffuse high grade gliomas. Patients will receive IN NEO100 that will follow a dose titration design, followed by a standard dose escalation design to establish safety. Brain tumor delivery of NEO100 will be confirmed in each disease sub-type by surgical resection/needle biopsy only if clinically indicated and scheduled for clinical purposes and testing with residual tissue for NEO100 and the major metabolite of NEO100 (Perillic Acid).
Stage 1: To select the optimal dose of naporafenib + trametinib to be studied in Stage 2. Stage 2: To compare progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients with NRAS-mutant (NRASm) melanoma who are randomized to receive the combination of naporafenib + trametinib to that of patients who are randomized to physician's choice of therapy (dacarbazine, temozolomide, or trametinib monotherapy).
