The purpose of this study is to determine how beta-glucan affects the immune system in subjects with melanoma.
To the best of our knowledge, BELUGA will be the first prospective trial investigating the usefulness of deep learning-based hematologic diagnostic algorithms. Taking advantage of an unprecedented collection of diagnostic samples consisting of flow cytometry datapoints and digitalized blood-smears, categorization of yet undiagnosed patient samples will prospectively be compared to current state-of-the-art diagnosis at the Munich Leukemia Laboratory (hereafter MLL). In total, a collection of 25,000 digitalized blood smears and 25,000 flow cytometry datapoints will be prospectively used to train an AI-based deep neuronal network for correct categorization. Subsequently, the...
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of BGB-290 and temozolomide in treating adolescents and young adults with IDH1/2-mutant grade I-IV glioma that is newly diagnosed or has come back. BGB-290 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, 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 BGB-290 and temozolomide may work better in treating adolescents and young adults with IDH1/2-mutant grade I-IV glioma.
The goal of this first in human clinical trial is to test BI-1808 administered as single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced malignancies whose disease has progressed after standard therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - how safe and tolerable is BI-1808 - what is maximum tolerated or administrated dose - to determine recommended dose for further clinical trials. Participants will receive infusions of BI-1808 alone or combination with pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. For the purpose of this study, subjects with advanced malignancies includes subjects with advanced solid tumors and subjects with T-cell lymphoma...
This study has as goal to evaluate the use of abemaciclib and bicalutamide in androgen receptor positive metastatic triple negative breast cancer.
This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine how quickly patients can be divided into groups based...
This phase II trial studies the effects of binimetinib and encorafenib in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to the central nervous system (metastases). Binimetinib and encorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving binimetinib and encorafenib may help control melanoma that has spread to the brain.
This phase II trial studies how well binimetinib and imatinib work in treating patients with stage III-IV KIT-mutant melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Binimetinib and imatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving binimetinib and imatinib may help treat patients with KIT-mutant melanoma.
BERING-MELANOMA - designed as a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional study - investigates real-world effectiveness, quality of life, safety and tolerability of encorafenib plus binimetinib in unresectable advanced or metastatic BRAF(Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma isoform B)-V600-mutant malignant melanoma after commercial availability of these two products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The study focusses on the documentation of the first and second line setting (i.e. after one line of prior checkpoint inhibition) by documenting patients treated according to the SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics).
The investigators will collect biosamples of patient blood and tumour tissue for further immunological analysis of blood cell subpopulations, immunosupressive factors concentration, HLA expression an lymphocytes and tumour tissue, and and cancer testis antigenes expression on tumour cells, as well as clinical data on patient's stage, therapy, response and demographics. Possible prognostic and predictive dynamic biomarkers will be discovered for individualisation of treatment strategies
