Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to use new technology called Optical Transfer Diagnosis (OTD) to find if skin lesions are melanomas or non cancer. The research study team wants to see if the Balter Medical OTD technology will identify these lesions the same or better than a dermatologist.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Patidegib Topical Gel, 2%, applied topically twice daily to the face of adult participants with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (BCNS; Gorlin Syndrome). 

The purpose of this study is to determine how well pembrolizumab works compared to standard of care observation in treating patients with stage I-III Merkel cell cancer that has been completely removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

The primary objective is to estimate the overall response rate (ORR) for metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) (group 1) and for unresectable locally advanced BCC (group 2) when treated with Cemiplimab as a monotherapy.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify potential determinants of disease progression, Quality of Life (QOL), and other health-related outcomes for patients with Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) undergoing treatment with cemiplimab.  In addition, the study will aim to assess patient experience, including QOL and functional status, to identify and describe long-term effects of treatment of patients with CSCC, to collect and describe serious adverse event (SAE) and immune-related adverse event (irAE) data on study participants, to describe patients who receive cemiplimab as treatment for CSCC in a real-world setting, to describe real-world use patterns of cemiplimab for CSCC, to assess the long-term ...

The purpose of this study is to identify the long-term occurrence of non-melanoma skin cancers in patients who had ultraviolet light therapy as a child in the years 1970 to 2000.

The objective of this study is to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the DermaSensor device in evaluating skin lesions suggestive of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, and to compare the sensitivity of DermaSensor to that of dermatopathology and primary care physicians' empiric diagnosis.

Cells with increased oncogene activity adopt a secretory phenotype. For example, increased levels of c-Src not only inhibit differentiation but also induce the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as fibronectin (1), a protein critically involved in cell migration. The abnormal secretion of ECM proteins stems from the inability of c-Src overexpressing cells to sense their environment and to act in-sync with local tissue demand, likely because of a constitutive activation of ECM biosensors such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We hypothesize that the secretion of ECM proteins is an early event in malignant transformation induced by increased oncogene ...

The purpose of this study is to estimate the clinical benefit of REGN2810  for patients who have metastatic (in lymph nodes or distant) squamous cell skin cancer or locally advanced squamous cell skin cancer that cannot be removed with surgery.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of three drug combinations. Each combination is assigned to a different treatment Arm.

The purpose of this study is to compare the number of new biopsy confirmed Basal Cell Carcionomas (BCCs) that
develop on the face over a 6-month period between the treatment arms, active and placebo.
 

The Valchlor PROVe study is a multi-center, prospective, observational, US-based drug study that longitudinally follows patients with MF-CTCL who are receiving therapy with Valchlor. Patients will be followed prospectively for a maximum of 1 year from the date of signed informed consent (enrollment) until end of study. Continuation in the study is not contingent on continuation of Valchlor.

The purpose of this study is to determine how well paclitaxel with and without nivolumab works in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma that have not received taxane drugs, and how well nivolumab and cabozantinib work in treating taxane pretreated patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Nivolumab works through the body's immune system to help the immune system act against tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor ...

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and clinical benefit of valemetostat tosylate in participants with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, including relapsed/refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to to map out the extent of Skin Angiosarcoma disease using ultrasound. This will be compared to the MRI and or PET/CT and with clinical and photographic determination of disease extent confirmed with clinically requested punch biopsies. The patient will be scanned with a commercially avilable GE Logiq 10 machine and then with the 25-30 MHz linear microvessel transducer  for microvessel imaging. These scans will be obtained pretreatment, after 2 cylces of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy prior to surgery. 

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical activity and safety of INCMGA00012 in participants with metastatic merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of oral vismodegib therapy in the treatment of different 'histologic subtypes' of basal cell skin cancer (BCC). The term 'histologic subtype' refers to how the cells and tumor tissue looks under the microscope. Three different 'histologic subtypes' of basal cell skin cancer (infiltrative/morpheaform, nodular and superficial) will be examined in this study.

The purpose of this study is to create a  long-term, prospective database of cutaneous lymphoma that will lead to a better understanding of the biological behavior of cutaneous lymphomas as well as the effectiveness of interventions.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cobomarsen (also known as MRG-106) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype in subjects who have confirmed disease progression following treatment with vorinostat in the SOLAR clinical study (MRG106-11-201). Cobomarsen is designed to inhibit the activity of a molecule called miR-155 that may be important to the growth and survival of MF cancer cells. The effects of treatment will be measured based on changes in skin lesion severity, disease-associated symptoms, and quality of life, as well as the length of time ...

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cobomarsen (also known as MRG-106) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype. Cobomarsen is designed to inhibit the activity of a molecule called miR-155 that may be important to the growth and survival of MF cancer cells. The study will compare the effects of cobomarsen to vorinostat, a drug that has been approved for the treatment of CTCL in the United States and several other countries.

Open-label study using ASP-1929 photoimmunotherapy in combination with anti-PD1 therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck and squamous cell cancer or advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

This multi-center, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, randomized crossover design study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of topically applied naloxone lotion, 0.5%, for the treatment of pruritus in patients with the mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) Forms of Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL). This study will also determine if there is systemic absorption of the drug in a subset of subjects and if so, describe the range and mean plasma levels reached after two weeks of three time daily (TID) dosing.
