Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04855435RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced melanoma and other solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies a new experimental immunotherapy (MBS8) for people with advanced solid tumors, focusing first on safety and early signs of benefit. Depending on your cancer type and past treatments, you may receive MBS8 alone or combined with pembrolizumab.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT04697576RecruitingPhase 1
Flu vaccine injected into melanoma tumors for stage I-IV
This trial tests whether injecting a flu vaccine directly into melanoma tumors helps shrink them. It is for people with stage I to IV melanoma who have at least one tumor that can be injected.
