Cutaneous melanoma

This phase II trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, rigosertib and pembrolizumab, can help people with advanced melanoma that no longer responds to standard immunotherapy. The study involves 7 participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The goal is to se…

This study tested whether adding vibostolimab to the standard immunotherapy pembrolizumab can better prevent melanoma from returning after surgery. About 1,600 people with high-risk stage II to IV melanoma took part. The goal was to see if the combination keeps cancer away longer…

This early-stage trial tests a radioactive drug called [225Ac]Ac-A9-3408 in 50 adults with melanoma that has spread or can't be removed by surgery. The main goals are to find a safe dose and check for side effects. Participants receive the drug every 6 weeks for up to 6 doses, an…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two oral drugs, mirdametinib and brimarafenib, in 23 adults with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal was to check safety, find the best dose, and see if the combo could shrink tumors. Th…

This study tested two drugs, encorafenib and binimetinib, given before surgery to people with stage IIIB-D melanoma that had spread to lymph nodes. The goal was to see if the drugs could shrink or eliminate the cancer before removal. The trial was stopped early after enrolling on…

This study tested whether adding hydroxychloroquine (a malaria drug) to standard targeted therapy (dabrafenib and trametinib) could help control advanced melanoma that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. It was designed for people with a specific gene mutation (BRAF V6…

This early-stage trial tested an oral drug called TNO155, alone or with another drug (nazartinib), in 227 adults with advanced solid tumors like lung cancer, melanoma, and head/neck cancer. The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose. The study was terminated early,…

This study tested a new drug called acasunlimab, given alone or with pembrolizumab, in people with advanced melanoma that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only one participant, so no conclusions can be drawn about safet…

This early-stage study tests a new drug, PF-08046049/SGN-BB228, in people with advanced melanoma and other solid tumors that have spread or stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and find the best dose. About 41 participants will ta…

This early-phase trial tested the drug plinabulin combined with radiation and immunotherapy in 19 people with advanced cancers (like lung, bladder, or melanoma) that had stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could shrink…

This early-phase study tested a treatment using donated natural killer (NK) cells from cord blood, combined with chemotherapy, for children and young adults with solid tumors that returned or didn't respond to standard care. The goal was to find the safest dose and check for side…

This early-stage study tested a new drug called PF-08046031 in 11 adults with advanced melanoma or other solid tumors that had spread or had no standard treatment options. The main goal was to check the drug's safety and side effects. The trial was terminated early, so its findin…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, bintrafusp alfa and pimasertib, in people whose cancer had spread to the brain. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the treatment could slow or stop the cancer from growing. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only…

This early-stage trial tested a modified virus (VSV-IFNbetaTYRP1) in 12 patients with advanced melanoma that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. The virus was designed to infect and kill melanoma cells while also boosting the immune system's attack. The main goals were…

This early-phase trial tested whether giving the immunotherapy drug STI-3031 directly into the lymph nodes or vessels (using a special device) is safe for people with in-transit melanoma, a type of skin cancer that spreads through lymph channels. Only 3 people took part before th…

This trial investigates whether a new, ultra-high-frequency ultrasound device can accurately measure the depth of skin melanomas before surgery. Currently, doctors must remove the tumor, measure its depth under a microscope, and then often perform a second surgery to remove more …

This study tested three portable imaging systems (MoleMapper, Visiomed, and confocal microscopy) to see how well they could detect melanoma compared to a dermatologist's exam. Seventeen people with suspicious moles participated. The goal was to find out if these devices could acc…

This early-stage trial tested whether adding a device that creates electric fields (NovoTTF-200M) to standard radiation and immunotherapy is safe for people with melanoma that has spread to the brain. Only one person took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was…

This study explores whether the community of bacteria living on the skin (the skin microbiome) plays a role in vitiligo—a condition that causes white patches—and in side effects from anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for advanced melanoma. Researchers will collect skin swabs from people wi…

This study tested a method called EPR oximetry to measure oxygen levels in skin tumors. Only 3 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if this technique could track how tumors respond to oxygen therapy and standard cancer treatments.
