Melanoma clinical trials in Boston

GIM-531 is a first-in-class, orally bioavailable small molecule that is being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors as a single agent and rescue therapy. GIM-531 exhibits its primary effect through selective inhibition of regulatory T-cells (Tregs).

This is a Phase 1/2A study of GV20-0251 being developed for the treatment of participants with advanced solid tumors, who are refractory to approved therapies or other standard of care.

This is an open label, multicenter, phase 1/2 study to assess the safety/tolerability and preliminary clinical activity of STAR0602 as a single agent administered intravenously in participants with advanced solid tumors that are antigen-rich.

This study gathers health information for the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

TTX-080-001 is a Phase 1, open label, dose escalation and dose expansion clinical study to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended Phase 2 dose of TTX-080 monotherapy (HLA-G inhibitor) and in combination with either pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitor), cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor) or FOLFIRI plus cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor) in patients with advanced refractory / resistant solid malignancies including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients.

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell that tell a cell to grow.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat children with different types of melanoma (skin cancer), solid tumors, and lymphomas (blood cancers) that are any of these: * Advanced, which means cancer spread in the body or cannot be removed with surgery * Relapsed, which means cancer has come back after it had responded to previous treatment (responded means it stopped growing, gets smaller, or disappeared) * Refractory, which means cancer did not respond to previous treatment Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Researchers want to learn if different doses of pembrolizumab can cause at least 1 of the types of cancer to get smaller or go away. With Amendment 8, enrollment of participants with solid tumors and participants 6 months to under 12 years old with melanoma were closed. With Amendment 13, enrollment was closed for participants with relapsed refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (rrCHL), microsatellite instabilty-high (MSI-H) solid tumors, tumor-mutational burden-high (TMB-H) solid tumors, and participants 12 years old to \<18 years old with advanced melanoma.

This is a Phase 2 study designed to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of VV1 in combination with cemiplimab. The study will enroll patients with three distinct separate tumor cohorts. The cancers types are colorectal, head and neck carcinoma, and melanoma that are progressing on CPI treatment.

This study will involve collecting information about the regular medical care you receive for large cutaneous melanocytic nevi (LCMN) or neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM).

This is a Phase 1/2a, open-label, study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral T3011 given alone and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab in partients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, optimal dose, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BNT326 as monotherapy (Part 1) and as combination treatment with immunotherapeutic agents (Part 2) in participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumors that are advanced (i.e., either metastatic or recurrent tumors with no further definitive treatment possible) and/or have relapsed/progressed after prior therapy.

This is a phase 3, randomized, controlled study of brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) plus nivolumab compared to standard nivolumab regimens in HLA-A\*02:01-positive participants with previously untreated advanced melanoma.

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if a new drug called LNS8801 can safely treat patients with melanoma. The primary question to be answered is what is the average length of time during which melanoma does not grow or spread after starting treatment with LNS8801? Researchers will compare LNS8801 taken alone or LNS8801 taken together with another drug called pembrolizumab to other therapies as decided by the treating doctor. 135 patients will be randomly (like flipping a coin) placed in 3 treatment groups. In the first group (LNS8801 only) - Patients will take 125mg tablet of LNS8801 by mouth once per day every day for up to 2 years. In the second group (LNS8801 + pembrolizumab) - Patients will take 125mg tablet of LNS8801 by mouth once per day plus 200 mg of pembrolizumab by IV infusion once every 3 weeks for up to 2 years. In the third group, called Physician's Choice (PC), patients will receive chemotherapy (dacarbazine or temozolomide) or immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, nivolumab/relatlimab or nivolumab/ipilimumab) as determined by their treating physician. How often the patient visits the clinic visits will depend on the treatment group. Besides returning to the clinic for treatment, the patient will undergo periodic safety assessments and other required study procedures such as imaging assessments.

The aim of this study is to find out whether the combination of two approved drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab, in combination with cryoablation are safe and effective for participants who have an unresectable melanoma that is resistant, or is growing, after receiving immunotherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: * Cryoablation (an interventional radiology procedure that freezes part of a tumor) * Ipilimumab (an immunotherapy) * Nivolumab (an immunotherapy)

This study will test a study drug called cemiplimab to see if it can help treat early-stage cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), a type of skin cancer. Cemiplimab works by helping the immune system to kill cancer cells. It binds to a protein called programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on the surface of certain immune cells. The main purpose of this study is to compare how well cemiplimab works compared to surgery, when injected into the lesion. The study is looking at: * The side effects cemiplimab might cause * How well cemiplimab works

The purpose of this study is to measure the clinical benefits of the combination of RP2 and nivolumab as compared with the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who have not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-tumor activity of enzelkitug when administered as a single agent and in combination with atezolizumab or pembrolizumab in adult participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), melanoma, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), urothelial carcinoma (UC), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Participants will be enrolled in 2 stages: dose escalation and dose expansion.

This phase II trial tests whether nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib works in patients with mucosal melanoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib could prevent cancer from returning.

The overall study objective of this trial study is to identify and evaluate strategies to improve the accessibility of the video education with result dependent disclosure (VERDI) model, increasingly utilized as a pre-genetic testing (pretest) education alternative in clinical practice, to better serve a more diverse patient population at risk for hereditary cancers.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether high-intensity exercise and high-fiber diet are feasible and improve various health outcomes among participants with advanced melanoma receiving immunotherapy. The names of the groups in this research study are: * High-Intensity Exercise (EX) * High-fiber Diet (DT) * Combined High-Intensity Exercise and High-Fiber Diet (COMB) * Attention Control (AC)
