RECURRENT MELANOMA

This study tested two different doses of the immunotherapy drug ipilimumab, alone or with high-dose interferon, in 88 people with advanced melanoma that could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if adding interferon helped control the cancer longer. While the treatment…

This early-phase trial tests a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy that helps the immune system fight cancer) and ziv-aflibercept (which cuts off blood supply to tumors)—in people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The main goal is to find the safes…

This study tested two different sequences of powerful drugs in 267 people with advanced melanoma that has a BRAF mutation and cannot be removed by surgery. One group started with immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) followed by targeted therapy (dabrafenib and trametinib) if …

This study tests a drug called tipifarnib in children and young adults (ages 1 to 21) whose cancer has returned or spread and has a specific change in the HRAS gene. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. About 5 participants received the drug…

This study tested whether adding a drug called GM-CSF to the immunotherapy ipilimumab helps people with advanced melanoma live longer. About 245 patients with stage III or IV melanoma that could not be removed by surgery took part. The goal was to see if the combination improved …

This study tested whether the immunotherapy drug ipilimumab works better than high-dose interferon alfa-2b at preventing melanoma from coming back after surgery. About 1,673 patients with high-risk stage III–IV melanoma that was fully removed took part. The main goal was to see w…

This study tests whether combining two immunotherapy drugs—T-VEC (a virus-based therapy injected into tumors) and pembrolizumab (an antibody given by IV)—can shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma that no longer responds to standard immunotherapy. About 43 adults with sta…

This early-phase trial tested the safety and best dose of two drugs—riluzole and sorafenib—given together to adults with advanced solid tumors or melanoma that had spread and stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal was to find a dose that limits side effects while pot…

This early-phase trial is testing the safety of combining two cancer drugs—nivolumab and cabozantinib—in people with HIV who have advanced solid tumors. The study includes 8 participants with various cancers that have spread. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink or st…

This study tests a drug called dinaciclib in 72 people with stage IV melanoma that has spread. The drug works by blocking enzymes that help cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the disease, and to check for side effects.

This study tests whether analyzing the genes of a patient's tumor can help doctors choose a more effective treatment. Over 6,400 adults with advanced solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma that have not responded to standard therapy are enrolled. The goal is to see if targe…
