Uveal Melanoma - Comparative Study
The progress of uveal melanoma is typically monitored with sonography by experienced onco-ophthalmologists. However, there is evidence that twodimensional measurements in color fundus photography match precisely with sonography measurements. This study aims to compare sonography and color fundus photography measurements in order to evaluate the feasibility of monitoring of uveal …
Eye Plaque Brachytherapy for Ocular Melanoma
This prospective registry study will evaluate doses utilized in eye plaque brachytherapy for the treatment of ocular melanoma and their associated outcomes. The goal of this study is to evaluate if lower doses of radiation can maintain high local control rates while minimizing the toxicities related to radiation therapy.
Evaluation of Hypoxia in Primary Melanoma
When controlling for tumor present in the Sentinel lymph node (SLN), intranodal hypoxia, as measured by Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX IHC), is associated with worse PFS. This suggests that melanoma tumors may be utilizing deregulated metabolism as a means of propagating themselves to the next station of metastasis. This study …
Characterization of the Melanoma-Specific Immune Response
The aim of this study is to study T-cells. Blood will be collected and the samples will be used to generate T cell clones. Two separate blood draws will be required at the maximum.
Serial Tumour Biopsies and Blood Biomarkers in Melanoma
Recent advances in understanding how cancer develops and spreads have led to effective new treatments and improved outcomes for patients with melanoma. However, we know that these new treatments do not work for all patients: some do not respond to them and some initially respond but then develop resistance. The …
Identification of Metabolic Phenotypes Associated With Melanoma Metastasis
The goal of this study is to observe metabolic features associated with human melanoma tumors.
In Vivo Real-time Detection of Circulating Melanoma Cells
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether a Photoacoustic flow cytometry (PAFC)-based prototype device can detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of melanoma patients in vivo, in real time, and do so at detection limits at least one order of magnitude below the detection limits …
UK ENcorafenib and BInimetinib Real-world Study in Melanoma
This is a prospective longitudinal multi-centre observational study conducted in the United Kingdom, in patients with metastatic cutaneous BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma assigned to receive encorafenib and binimetinib. The aim of this study is to learn about how encorafenib and binimetinib perform, patients' experiences of using them, and how they …
Frequency and Clinical Phenotype of BAP1 Hereditary Predisposition Syndrome
This research will have a significant impact on the overall management of those cancer patients and their family members who are at risk for hereditary cancer due to germline inactivation of BAP1. Our study will ultimately facilitate the development of novel screening, prevention and treatment strategies for these individuals with …
Evolution of Metabolic and Immune Dysfunction in In-transit Melanoma
Melanoma in-transit metastases (ITMs) continue to represent a therapeutic dilemma, in that no standard method of treatment has been uniformly adopted. The complexity and heterogeneity of patient and disease characteristics, including the location and number of ITMs presents a barrier to a one size fits all treatment approach. Treatment of …
