6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase II trial studies how well capmatinib, ceritinib, regorafenib, or entrectinib work in treating patients with BRAF/NRAS wild-type stage III-IV melanoma. Capmatinib, ceritinib, regorafenib, or entrectinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
A multi-center sample collection study in patients presenting with pigmented lesion(s) suspicious for melanoma. All suspicious lesions should meet at least one of the "ABCDE" criteria.
The purpose of this observational study is to collect clinical information, blood, and tumor tissue samples from participants diagnosed with stage I, stage II, or operable stage III cancer in select solid tumors. The information collected will be used to develop tests to better understand cancer, for example, to improve cancer detection and to assess the risk of cancer coming back. Participants will receive routine standard of care from their doctor and their involvement is expected to last for approximately five and a half (5.5) years.
This study is divided into distinct sample collection and analysis phases. In the sample collection phase investigators will tape strip lesions that are designated for biopsy because they are suspected for melanoma. No biopsies will be taken solely in support of this study; rather patients that present lesions that are to be biopsied-in the context of the standard of care-will be enrolled in the study and will have that lesion(s) tape stripped before the biopsy procedure. In the second phase of the study, tape strip samples will be extracted and RNA purified and expression profiled by DNA microarray. The gene expression data will be correlated with histopathology with the expectation that an expression classifier that distinguishes suspect lesions from melanoma can be defined. That classifier will be validated in future studies.
This is a prospective, multicenter, sample collection study using DermTech's non-invasive skin collection kits to evaluate the mutation burden of non-lesional facial skin from subjects with a documented history of numerous basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas or melanomas compared to that of subjects with no history of skin cancer matched for age, sex and Fitzpatrick phototype.
This study is designed to collect information about melanoma using a research probe, a device placed only on the skin. This study will investigate whether using the probe to examine skin lesions could improve the accuracy of identification pre-cancerous melanoma lesions or to predict the risk melanoma in the skin of subjects. Ultimately, we would see this technique used routinely as a non-invasive device during subjects' skin examination to aid dermatologists to identify pre-cancerous (melanoma) lesions without taking tissue samples of the skin. Alternatively, this technique would, in the future, also be used to screen patients at risk for melanoma.
