Cutaneous Melanoma

This is an observational cohort study evaluating clinical and pathological outcomes in patients with high-risk stage II melanoma. Patients are included after receiving treatment as part of routine clinical practice. Decisions about treatment, including whether to start anti-PD1 therapy before surgery, are made by the treating physician and are not influenced by the study. The study compares outcomes between patients who started anti-PD1 therapy before surgery and those treated according to the usual timing in clinical practice. No treatments are assigned as part of the study.

A prospective, proof-of-concept pilot study in patients with metastatic cancers (9 types of cancers are studied) treated at the IUCT-O or possibly in other institutions. Eligible patients will be selected and informed of this study during a medical consultation for their cancer by medical oncologists. Then, with the patient's consent and before the start of anti-cancer treatment (whatever the line), a blood sample will be taken to detect DP-circulating cells by 2 different methods of analysis. Each patient will participate in the study for one day. The methods of analysis will be: flow cytometry for all patients and either Parsotix® or CellSearch® depending on the type of cancer. 450 patients will be enrolled in total.

The Phase I trial is evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of MBS8(1V270) in subjects with advanced solid tumours. The trial is designed to provide data for further clinical development of MBS8(1V270)

This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label basket study designed to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of IDE196 in patients with solid tumors harboring GNAQ or GNA11 (GNAQ/11) mutations or PRKC fusions, including metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM), cutaneous melanoma, colorectal cancer, and other solid tumors. Phase 1 (dose escalation - monotherapy) will assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IDE196 via standard dose escalation scheme and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Safety and anti-tumor activity will be assessed in the Phase 2 (dose expansion) part of the study. Phase 1 (dose escalation - binimetib combination) will assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IDE196 and binimetinib via standard dose escalation scheme and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Safety and anti-tumor activity will be assessed in the Phase 2 (dose expansion) part of the study. Phase 1 (dose escalation - crizotinib combination) will assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IDE196 and crizotinib via standard dose escalation scheme and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Safety and anti-tumor activity will be assessed in the Phase 2 (dose expansion) part of the study. Evaluation of safety and efficacy across multiple doses may be explored in the dose optimization part of the study. Crizotinib monotherapy with crossover to combination cohort may be assessed for safety and to show the contribution of each study drug to anti-tumor activity. As of Protocol Amendment 10, Phase 1, Phase 2 dose expansion in IDE196 monotherapy, and Phase 2 dose expansion of IDE196 in combination with binimetinib have been fully enrolled. There were no patients enrolled in the crizotinib monotherapy cohorts.

This clinical trial compares the effect of using risk-based stratification to guide surgical management to the usual approach in treating cutaneous melanoma, atypical Spitz/Spitzoid tumors or other atypical melanocytic tumors that have not spread to other parts of the body (localized). Melanoma is a cancer that in children is sometimes difficult to tell apart from benign (not harmful) or atypical (uncertain if harmful) skin lesions. Failure to diagnose melanoma can result in inadequate surgical removal and increase the risk of recurrence and metastatic disease (spread from where it first started to other places in the body). In addition, diagnosing a tumor a benign (not cancer) tumor as cancer may lead to unnecessary surgery and treatment. This trial reviews tumor pathology and genetic markers and classifies the tumor as not atypical, atypical but low risk for spread and/or recurrence (coming back after a period of improvement), and atypical and high risk for spread and/or recurrence. The classifications are then used to provide surgical recommendations. Tumors that are not atypical do not receive any surgical treatment. Low-risk recommendations include removing a small layer of normal skin around the tumor. High-risk recommendations include the usual adult melanoma approach of removing a larger layer of normal skin around the tumor with or without a biopsy of the sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node to which tumor cells are likely to spread from a primary tumor). Risk-based guided surgical management may help avoid unnecessary surgery while improving outcomes in younger patients with localized cutaneous melanoma, atypical Spitz/Spitzoid tumors or other atypical melanocytic tumors.

Clear-Me is a biomarker-driven phase II study that tests whether the combination anti- lymphocyte-activation gene-3 (LAG3)/anti-programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1) inhibition Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS986213) is superior to anti-PD-1 inhibition in patients with detectable circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) following definitive surgery for high risk melanoma. Patients will be allocated to either Arm A or Arm B via the process of randomization. The randomization process will be stratified according to stage (Stage 2A/2B/3A/3B/3C/3D or 4), to ensure absolute balance between stage groups. The investigators are choosing only 1 stratification factor, disease stage, as the investigators consider stage being the most significant prognosticating variable. Each stage represents a biologically distinct entity with varying recurrence rate outcomes. Block randomization will be performed to ensure equal sample sizes in the combination and monotherapy arms. At least 54 patients will be included in the randomized part of the study. The investigators are expecting approximately 20% of the patients to have detectable ctDNA after definite surgery. Therefore, approximately 270 patients are expected to be enrolled and tested for ctDNA in the entire study.

This is a first in human, open-label, multi-center Phase 1 / 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and initial efficacy of AU-007, also known as imneskibart, in patients with advanced solid tumors. AU-007 will be administered either as a monotherapy, or in combination with a single loading dose of aldesleukin, or with both AU-007 and aldesleukin given every 2 weeks (Q2w). Once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AU-007 plus aldesleukin was determined, (AU-007 Q2w plus a single loading dose of aldesleukin), AU-007 plus aldesleukin is also being administered with avelumab or nivolumab.

The purpose of this trial is to find the maximum tolerated and recommended Phase 2 dose of KUP-101A and to evaluate its safety and tolerability. Additionally, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will be assessed, and first data on KUP-101A's efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors will be obtained.

This study investigates the extent to which lifestyle factors including mental health, social support, diet, and exercise are associated with quality of life and melanoma patient outcomes. Knowledge gained from this study may be used to guide the design of prospective clinical trials of lifestyle interventions to improve the outcomes of melanoma patients and assist doctors in counseling their patients.

This is an early-stage (Phase 1) clinical study testing a new study medicine called PF-08046033. The goal of the study is to understand how safe the medicine is, how well people tolerate it, how it behaves in the body, and whether it shows early signs of helping to treat cancer. The study includes adult participants who have advanced cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread to other parts of the body. These cancers include non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal squamous cell cancer, and melanoma. The study has two parts: In the first part, small groups of participants receive increasing doses of the study medicine. This helps researchers find a dose that is safe and suitable for further testing. Once a suitable dose is identified, the second part enrolls more participants with specific cancer types to better understand the safety of the medicine and whether it shows signs of helping control the cancer. Participants receive the study medicine through regular treatment cycles and are closely monitored for side effects and how their cancer responds. The information from this study will help researchers decide whether PF-08046033 should be studied further in later-stage clinical trials.

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if a new drug called LNS8801 can safely treat patients with melanoma. The primary question to be answered is what is the average length of time during which melanoma does not grow or spread after starting treatment with LNS8801? Researchers will compare LNS8801 taken alone or LNS8801 taken together with another drug called pembrolizumab to other therapies as decided by the treating doctor. 135 patients will be randomly (like flipping a coin) placed in 3 treatment groups. In the first group (LNS8801 only) - Patients will take 125mg tablet of LNS8801 by mouth once per day every day for up to 2 years. In the second group (LNS8801 + pembrolizumab) - Patients will take 125mg tablet of LNS8801 by mouth once per day plus 200 mg of pembrolizumab by IV infusion once every 3 weeks for up to 2 years. In the third group, called Physician's Choice (PC), patients will receive chemotherapy (dacarbazine or temozolomide) or immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, nivolumab/relatlimab or nivolumab/ipilimumab) as determined by their treating physician. How often the patient visits the clinic visits will depend on the treatment group. Besides returning to the clinic for treatment, the patient will undergo periodic safety assessments and other required study procedures such as imaging assessments.

This phase II trial tests how well EMLA topical cream works in treating pain in patients with skin cancers receiving Technetium 99 injections for a lymphoscintigraphy mapping procedure. A lymphoscintigraphy mapping procedure is used to find the main or lead lymph node (tissue that fight infection) so it can be removed and checked for tumor cells. Using lymphoscintigraphy to highlight and then surgically remove lymph nodes is standard way to treat skin cancer for many patients. The Technetium 99 injections used for lymphoscintigraphy can be briefly painful due to the sensitivity of the nerve endings in the skin. The EMLA topical cream, which contains a numbing medicine to block pain from nerve endings, has been studied in breast cancer patients with a difference in pain reported, but this is the first time it has been studied in patients undergoing lymphoscintigraphy for skin cancer. This study may help researchers learn whether the use of EMLA cream may improve the associated pain at the time of the lymphoscintigraphy procedure.

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 develops in premalignant atypical melanocytic lesions and careful follow up of these patients will improve the outcome of their disease. In addition this study could have impact on the management of patients with personal and/or family history of several other cancers reported in patients with germline BAP1 mutation such as mesothelioma, renal cell carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, meningioma and basal cell carcinoma.

This clinical trial is for patients with stage 3 cutaneous melanoma and patients with mucosal melanoma who are able to have surgery to remove all tumour deposits. To improve the chance that melanoma will not recurr, new experimental combinations of a type of treatment called immunotherapy will be given before surgery.

This is a Phase 0/1, First-in-Human (FIH), study to evaluate safety, tolerability, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry and preliminary anti-tumour activities of 177Lu-RAD204 in participants with selected solid tumours, to identify the MTDs/ recommended doses of 177Lu-RAD204 for future exploration. The study will consist of a Pre-screening Period (if applicable for PD-L1 testing), a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, followed by a Phase 0 (Imaging) Period for imaging and dosimetry to 177Lu-RAD204im and a Phase I (Treatment) Period for 177Lu-RAD204tr dose escalation.

This purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of IMA203 in combination with different doses of mRNA-4203. The trial includes participants with previously treated unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma (CM) or synovial sarcoma (SS).

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the link between work-related sun exposure and a specific type of skin cancer called melanoma in people living in the Modena area, Italy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a connection between working outdoors and developing types of melanoma that are linked to long-term sun exposure? * Can we use recent criteria from the Italian workers' compensation authority (Istituto Nazionale per l'Assicurazione contro gli Infortuni sul Lavoro, INAIL) to better identify and report these melanomas as occupational diseases? Participants in this study will: * Be patients of the Modena University Hospital Dermatology Clinic who are already undergoing a skin biopsy for a suspected lesion. * Take part in a one-time interview with a trained healthcare worker. Answer questions about their: * Job history and specific work locations (to calculate local UVR exposure). * Sun exposure habits at work and in their free/holiday time. * Use of sun protection (e.g., sunscreen, protective clothing). * Use of tanning beds. * Natural skin color and tendency to sunburn (and other elements to determine their specific skin phototype). * Other personal and family health factors. Researchers will compare two groups: * Cases: 120 participants who are diagnosed with melanoma after the biopsy. * Controls: 180 participants who screened negative for melanoma but may show another skin condition. By comparing these groups, researchers aim at better understanding the role of outdoor work as a risk factor for specific melanoma subtypes. For participants diagnosed with a melanoma that is likely linked to their job, the study team will promote its reporting as an occupational disease.

The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to provide proof-of-principle data for the biologic activity of defactinib in combination with avutometinib in brain metastases from melanoma, and to define the potential role of the combination with mutant BRAF inhibitors or after BRAF/MEK inhibitors in BRAF V600E/K mutant tumors, in individuals with advanced melanoma who experience the development or progression of brain metastases after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the preliminary response rate of defactinib and avutometinib in patients with RAS mutant, BRAF mutant, NF1 mutant, triple RAS/BRAF/NF1 wild type (wt) melanoma (including RAF fusions)? * What is the safety and tolerability of the combination of defactinib, avutometinib, and encorafenib in patients with BRAF V600E/K mutant melanoma with at least one untreated brain metastases? * What is the preliminary response rate of the three drug combination of defactinib, avutometinib, and encorafenib in patients with BRAF V600E/K mutant melanoma.

Can we treat your melanoma just as effectively without doing a sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in addition to your wide local excision (WLE) procedure? A wide local excision (WLE) is a surgical procedure performed to cut out an abnormal lesion and some surrounding normal tissue. This is sometimes followed by a sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, in which lymph nodes that cancer cells could spread to are removed as well. We are doing this study because we want to find out if performing the WLE alone is just as effective as the usual approach for your melanoma, and if it leads to improvements in patients' overall well-being. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for the early stage of melanoma that you currently have.

The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of patients with stages IIB to IV cutaneous melanoma resulted in dramatic improvements in mortality rates for this common form of cancer. With this rapid shift in treatment, significant gaps in knowledge exist regarding the impact of ICIs on patients' symptom experiences. An in-depth characterization of inter-individual differences in patients' symptom experiences will fill this knowledge gap and assist with the early detection of ICI toxicity; guide symptom management; inform treatment decision making; and refine ICI-symptom instrument development. Furthermore, given the limited knowledge in this area, the identification of demographic, clinical, environmental, and molecular risk factors associated with a worse symptom experience is warranted. This is a longitudinal, prospective study evaluating the symptoms that immune checkpoint inhibitors may cause in patients with cutaneous melanoma.

The purpose of ORACLE is to demonstrate the ability of a novel ctDNA assay developed by Guardant Health to detect recurrence in individuals treated for early-stage solid tumors. It is necessary that ctDNA test results are linked to clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate clinical validity for recurrence detection and explore its value in a healthcare environment subject to cost containment.

This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate safety and tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early signal of anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors.

KB707-01 is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and expansion study. The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of KB707 in adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have progressed on standard of care therapy, cannot tolerate standard of care therapy, refused standard of care therapy, or for whom there is no standard of care therapy as well as the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and immunologic effect of KB707 administered in combination with Opdualag to subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Subjects in dose escalation (Cohorts 1 through 3) and dose expansion (Cohort 4) will receive intratumoral injections of KB707 approximately every three weeks. Cohorts 1 through 4 are closed to new enrollment. Dose expansion Cohort 5 and Cohort 6 will evaluate subjects with advanced melanoma. Subjects in Cohort 5 will receive intratumoral injections of KB707 biweekly (q2w), delivered in combination with Opdualag (dosed every q4w per prescribing information). Subjects in Cohort 6 will receive intratumoral injections of KB707 biweekly (q2w), delivered in combination with Keytruda (dosed every q6w per prescribing information). All subjects will be treated until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, symptomatic deterioration, achievement of maximal response, subject choice, Investigator decision to discontinue treatment, or the Sponsor determines to terminate the study.

This is a Phase 1/2A study of GV20-0251 being developed for the treatment of participants with advanced solid tumors, who are refractory to approved therapies or other standard of care.

This is an open-label, multicenter, first-in-human dose-escalation and expansion Phase 1-2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of OR502 administered as a monotherapy and in combination with cemiplimab in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
