Prevention of melanoma can be efficient but mortality remains unchanged and 15 to 20% of patients still die from melanoma. Indeed metastatic melanoma is a heterogeneous highly and multiple mutations driven cancer. Significant survival benefit was demonstrated since 2011 with anti-CTLA4 +/- programmed death-1 (anti PD1) antibodies, B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and MAP-ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitors. Future improvement of advanced melanoma prognosis will rely on clinico-epidemiological studies and on biological studies to validate and identify new prognostic and predictive factors based on clinico-epidemiological and histological data, genomic host and tumor...
Biomarkers search for early diagnosis of liver metastases in patients with uveal melanoma who benefit from a follow-up tailored to their personalized risk of relapse.
This is an open-label, single-arm, phase I clinical trial with dose escalation designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of Human CD19-CD22 Targeted T Cells Infusion. The primary objectives are to preliminarily assess the impact of Human CD19-CD22 Targeted T Cells Infusion in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and to explore the appropriate dose and reinfusion schedule for phase II. Eligible participants, including those with Central Nervous System Lymphoma, B Cell Lymphoma (BCL), Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), Refractory...
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety, toxicity, and antitumor activity of fourth ventricular infusions of nivolumab plus 5-azacytidine for recurrent ependymoma and nivolumab plus methotrexate for recurrent medulloblastoma and other CNS malignancies. Additionally, the study will explore immunologic responses to nivolumab. The hypothesis is that local administration of nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, is safe and will lead to even more robust treatment responses when administered following 5-azacytidine in patients with recurrent ependymoma or methotrexate in patients with medulloblastoma or other CNS tumors.
Phase III trial comparing local control and side effects after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and single session radiosurgery in patients with larger brain metastases (2-4 cm)
With a high incidence, low survival rates and limiter availability of effective treatment, melanoma is one of the research priorities for health authorities. Optimizing the development of both academic and private research requires the availability information on the features of patients. To meet this need, the French Multidisciplinary Melanoma Group (GMFMel) in collaboration with INCa (French National Cancer Institute), the CeNGEPS (National Centre for Healthcare Products Trial Management) and the CIC-BT0503 from Nantes University Hospital (Biotherapy Clinical Centre of Investigation) has set up in April 2011 a Clinical Investigation Network for melanoma, called the...
Merkel cell carcinoma, advanced basal cell carcinoma requiring systemic treatment, and cutaneous adnexal carcinomas are 3 types of rare skin cancers for which much remains unknown in terms of natural behavior, prognosis, treatment and outcomes. CARADERM is a French prospective national cohort enrolling patients with either one of these 3 tumor types, whose objectives are : - to provide epidemiological, clinical and socio-economic characteristics of patients - to identify new clinical or epidemiological prognostic factors for these rare cancers - to evaluate the impact of various treatments on outcomes
This research will have a significant impact on the overall management of those cancer patients and their family members who are at risk for hereditary cancer due to germline inactivation of BAP1. Our study will ultimately facilitate the development of novel screening, prevention and treatment strategies for these individuals with the syndrome. Because the vast majority of UM develop in pre-existing nevi, characterization of individuals at high risk for development of UM will allow closer screening and earlier intervention which would improve the treatment outcome not only for retaining vision but also for overall survival. Similarly in patients with germline BAP1 mutation CM...
Imaging procedures such as 1-(2-[18F]FLUOROETHYL)-L-Tryptophan PET/CT in patients with cancers may help doctors assess a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment in the future. The purpose is to see if there can be a better differentiation of tumor and non-tumor tissue where the tumor tissue has a higher uptake of Tryptophan.
