MELANOMA STAGE IV

This study tests a new drug, [212Pb]VMT01, that delivers a tiny dose of radiation directly to melanoma cells. It is being tested alone or with the immunotherapy nivolumab in 300 people with advanced melanoma that has worsened after prior treatment. The goal is to find safe doses …

This phase II trial is testing whether combining two drugs, binimetinib and imatinib, can shrink tumors in people with advanced KIT-mutant melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The study will enroll 25 participants with stage III or IV melanoma. The goal is to see how many …

This study is for people with high-risk melanoma who have tiny bits of tumor DNA still in their blood after surgery. It compares a two-drug immunotherapy combo against a single drug to see which better clears these hidden cancer cells. About 54 participants will be randomly assig…

This early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called VET3-TGI, a virus designed to infect and destroy cancer cells. It is being given alone or with the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to 60 people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The …

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining high-dose interleukin-2 with low-dose ipilimumab, followed by nivolumab, can shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy. About 29 participants with inoperable stage III or IV melanom…

This phase 2 trial tests the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) given before and after surgery for people with stage III or IV melanoma. The goal is to see if tailoring treatment based on tumor biomarkers leads to better outcomes. About 90 participants will be enrolled at a si…

This early-phase trial is testing an experimental oral drug called GIM-531, alone or with an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1), in 117 adults with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and can help th…

This study tests whether adding a low-dose chemotherapy drug (cyclophosphamide) to an immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. About 14 adults with stage III or IV melanoma that cannot …

This early-phase trial tests whether giving different drug combinations after surgery, based on how well the tumor responded to initial treatment, can reduce the risk of melanoma returning. About 50 adults with stage III or IV BRAF-mutant melanoma will receive encorafenib, binime…

This study is for people with stage IV melanoma that has spread to the brain. It compares two treatments: a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) alone, or the same drugs plus precise, targeted radiation to the brain tumors. The goal is to see if addin…

This study follows 40 people who received Miltenyi CAR T cell therapy at least one year ago for cancers like melanoma, lymphoma, or leukemia. Researchers will track side effects, cancer return, and overall health for years. The goal is to understand the long-term safety and effec…

This early-phase study tests a personalized cell therapy for people with several types of advanced cancer that have spread and express a protein called NY-ESO-1. Participants receive a single infusion of their own immune cells that have been genetically modified to recognize and …

This study looks at whether the bacteria naturally found in urine can help doctors better understand melanoma, a serious skin cancer, and predict how well patients will respond to treatment. Researchers will collect urine and stool samples from 50 people with advanced melanoma st…

This study looks at 24 people with advanced melanoma who are starting immunotherapy. Researchers will do a special PET/CT scan and a blood test for tumor DNA about 3-4 weeks after the first treatment. The goal is to see if these early tests can predict whether the immunotherapy i…

This study looks at whether beta-glucan, a natural fiber from yeast, can improve the immune response to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in people with stage III or IV melanoma. Researchers will measure changes in immune cells from blood samples. The goal is to understand how…
