NCT00254579
CP-675,206 is a fully human monoclonal antibody (mAb). It binds to the CTLA4 molecule, which is expressed on the surface of activated T lymphocytes. CP-675,206 is thought to stimulate patients' immune systems to attack their tumors. CP-675,206 is not expected to have a direct effect on tumor cells. CP-675,206 been shown to induce durable tumor responses in patients with metastatic melanoma in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies.
NCT00002860
RATIONALE: Surgery may be effective therapy in treating patients with metastatic melanoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well surgery works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.
NCT00044356
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if Allovectin-7®, an experimental gene-based immunotherapy, can shrink melanoma tumors. The trial will also examine if this treatment can improve the time to disease progression.
NCT00045149
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Treating a person's white blood cells in the laboratory and then reinfusing them may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of biological therapy in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma.
NCT00095108
This study is being done to see if an experimental drug called recombinant interleukin-21 (rIL-21) when given to patients with stage 4 malignant melanoma or stage 4 kidney cancer is safe and has any effect on these types of cancers.
NCT00003647
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Injecting allovectin-7 into a person's melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response that will kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of dacarbazine with or without immunotherapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma.
NCT00052156
This is a Phase III study in patients with melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes and/or a distant organ, and who have had all of their cancer surgically removed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of the CancerVax™ vaccine to prevent or slow the recurrence of melanoma.
NCT00289640
The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare the best overall response rate (BORR)(as per modified WHO criteria) in patients with previously treated, therapy-refractory, or -intolerant, Stage III (unresectable) or Stage IV melanoma receiving ipilimumab doses of 0.3, 3, and 10 mg/kg. The safety of this product will also be evaluated.
NCT00518895
This study is being performed to prospectively determine whether dacarbazine plus Genasense is significantly better than dacarbazine plus placebo in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced melanoma and low baseline LDH (LDH less than or equal to 0.8 times the upper limit of normal). LDH is a biomarker strongly associated with improved outcomes in a recent trial of dacarbazine plus Genasense.
