DANTE: Duration of Anti-PD1 therapy for melanoma

At the moment, clinicians aren’t sure how long to give PD-1 inhibitor treatment for to patients with advanced melanoma. The current practice is to treat for at least two years if the patient continues to benefit and can tolerate treatment. However, the treatment seems to make the most difference within the first year and there is evidence to suggest that the treatment could be as effective and cause fewer side effects if it [...]

KEYNOTE-D18: IO102-IO103 in Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Pembrolizumab Alone in Advanced Melanoma (IOB-013 / KN-D18)

Currently, patients who have advanced melanoma will receive standard of care treatment with immunotherapy (e.g., pembrolizumab).This trial aims to investigate if giving the combination treatment of IO102-IO103 with pembrolizumab is more effective than giving pembrolizumab alone for patients who have not received any treatment for their advanced melanoma.The trial also aims to look at how well patients cope with the combination treatment of IO102-IO103 with pembrolizumab, for example, if they experience any side effects.Pembrolizumab [...]

MISST: Melanoma Immunomodulation and Immune Responses of the Skin Study: A Translational Science Research Protocol

This study aims to better understand how genes as well as the immune system affect the development of melanoma. Researchers hope that the results could improve how melanoma is detected and also lead to the development of new treatments for melanoma.The early stages of melanoma can be treated effectively by using surgery to remove the melanoma, but no cure is available at the moment in more advanced melanoma. Doctors currently don’t know what causes [...]

MelMarT-II: Melanoma Margins Trial Investigating 1cm v 2cm Wide Excision Margins for Primary Cutaneous Melanoma

The trial aims to look at how long patients stay free from melanoma after different types of surgery to remove the disease. A wide local excision involves removing an extra "safety margin" of skin around the original melanoma site, to make sure that any remaining scattered melanoma tumour cells that may have been left behind after the first biopsy/surgery are removed. At the moment melanoma specialists don’t know the ideal width of excision [...]

MoleGazer: MoleGazer Development Feasibility Study

Melanoma can often develop from moles that already exist on your skin. Currently dermatologists will aim to review and identify new and changing moles in patients who have lots of moles on their body by using total body photography.Total body photography (TBP) is a method of taking high-quality photographs of a patient’s entire skin, so that doctors can track, compare and monitor moles over time. This has been shown to improve melanoma diagnosis.TBP is [...]

PECan: PDL1 Expression in Cancer

In this study, researchers want to find out if using 99mTc-labelled PD-L1 SPECT (see below for explanation) in melanoma patients, can help to predict how effective PD-1 inhibitor immunotherapy treatment will be to treat their melanoma. Usual standard scans will be carried out as well, so that the researchers can compare the two against each other.Currently, to see how well treatment is working for a melanoma patient doctors will use standard external (non-invasive) scans, [...]

PREMIUM: Perioperative Encobini in BRAFV600 Mutant Stage III (B/C/D) or Oligometastatic Stage IV Melanoma

Currently patients with resectable stage 3 or stage 4 cutaneous melanoma are offered 1 year of adjuvant treatment after surgery. This is to reduce the risk of the melanoma returning. The treatment they are offered could be immunotherapy, or if the melanoma has a BRAF positive mutation, targeted therapy.This study aims to investigate if giving targeted treatment to patients with BRAF positive cutaneous melanoma before resection surgery ( neoadjuvant treatment ), as well as [...]

REFINE: REduced Frequency ImmuNE Checkpoint Inhibition in Cancers

Currently, patients with advanced melanoma will receive immunotherapy treatment with either ipilimumab + nivolumab or pembrolizumab. They receive this treatment as an infusion into the vein (e.g. in the arm), in a hospital or clinic, every 3 or 6 weeks for up to 2 years.Researchers think that it is likely that immunotherapy drugs work for a longer period of time than originally thought. This means it may be possible to give the drugs less [...]

IGNYTE: Study of RP1 Monotherapy and RP1 in Combination with Nivolumab

In the phase 1 part of the trial, the aim was to investigate the safest dose of the experimental treatment; RP1, that patients can receive. Researchers then explored the safest dose of RP1 in combination with nivolumab, a PD1-inhibitor.Once the researchers have decided the safest doses, the phase 2 of the trial will look at how effective RP1, as a combination treatment with nivolumab, is at treating all types of melanomas, as well as [...]

TebeMRD: Tebentafusp in Molecular Relapsed Disease (MRD) Melanoma

This trial aims to look at how to treat patients with resected cutaneous melanoma who are thought to have a medium or high risk of the melanoma coming back, or patients with a diagnosis of uveal melanoma.This research will use a new blood test to see if there are any tiny amounts of melanoma cells in the body, which wouldn’t normally be seen on standard CT scans. This blood test can help doctors decide [...]

TEBENTAFUSP: Tebentafusp Managed Access Program for Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Uveal melanoma is generally treated with either chemotherapy or drugs that work by activating the body’s natural defence ( immune system ), known as immunotherapy. Some melanomas can avoid being seen or detected by the patient's own immune system, so that they can’t be attacked or killed. immunotherapy works by stimulating the immune system to work against the melanoma by turning on or turning off certain signals in the immune system, to allow the [...]

IMP-MEL: Testing IMM60 in combination with pembrolizumab in melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer

The phase 1 of this trial aims to look at how safe the experimental treatment IMM60 is when it is given to patients. Researchers will look at how well patients cope with the treatment at different doses and if they experience any side effects. Once the safe dose of IMM60 is known it will be given to patients as a combination treatment with pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug that is already used in the treatment [...]
