Clinical trial: Study of Trametinib and Nab-paclitaxel in Patients With Melanoma

Summary: This study will investigate the combination of two drugs, trametinib and nab-paclitaxel, in patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Each drug has shown activity in trials of patients with melanoma. However, the combination of these two drugs has not been studied. In this trial the investigators will determine the maximum dose of the drug combination to be administered to patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma and examine the safety profile of the drug combination.

Detailed description: While treatment for melanoma has evolved in the last few years, advanced/metastatic melanoma remains an aggressive disease with poor prognosis. Trametinib and nab-paclitaxel have demonstrated single-agent activity in Phase III trials of patients with melanoma. The investigators propose to investigate this drug combination in patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. This open-label Phase I study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase II dose (RP2D), and safety profile of trametinib and nab-paclitaxel given in combination. Patients with melanoma and known BRAF mutation status will receive escalating doses of trametinib and nab-paclitaxel to determine the MTD. Once the MTD is determined an additional 6 patients will be treated at the MTD to establish the dose for future studies.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Adults (≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically-confirmed advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. BRAF mutation-positive and wild-type tumors are allowed.
  -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  -  Adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function
  -  Life expectancy ≥12 weeks
  -  Any pre-existing neuropathy must be <grade 2 per Common Technology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  More than 1 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen in the metastatic setting
  -  Prior MEK inhibitor therapy (prior BRAF inhibitor allowed)
  -  Prior nab-paclitaxel (prior taxane allowed)
  -  Use of an investigational anti-cancer drug within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to first dose. A minimum of 10 days after termination of investigational drug is required. Any drug-related toxicity should have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline.

Clinical trial: Detection of BRAF Mutation on FNAB From Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Summary: Immunohistochemical detection of the BRAF-V600E mutation on pre-operative fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from patients suspected for papillary thyroid carcinoma, using the mutation specific antibody VE1.

Detailed description: The BRAF mutation is reported to be present in approximately 50% of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). The mutation has been associated with poor prognosis and more advanced disease stage. Therefore, pre-operative detection of the BRAF-V600E mutation may be of clinical interest in order to individualize treatment of patients with BRAF positive PTC.
  FNABs are performed immediately before the thyroid operation, and BRAF-V600E detection using VE1 is performed on clots. The VE1 stain is compared to the mutation status of the removed cancer or control tissue using the Cobas test.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Bethesda system of reporting thyroid cytology (BSRTC) group 5-6 on pre-operative FNAB from the nodule (>1cm)
  -  Undergoing thyroid surgery (histology of index nodule)

Clinical trial: HOPE Social Media Intervention for HIV Testing and Studying Social Networks

Summary: This study [HOPE: Harnessing Online Peer Education] seeks to determine the efficacy of using online social networks to scale peer community leader models to increase HIV prevention within African-American and Latino men who have sex with men. The peer community leader model, which teaches community popular opinion leaders about how to disseminate behavior changes messages throughout the community, has been proven to increase HIV prevention behaviors. Social networks such as Facebook.com may be a cost-effective platform for scaling these models. Primarily upper middle-class White populations used the Internet in its early years, however, Internet use within African-American and Latino households has recently increased dramatically, especially on online social networks such as Facebook.com. People using the Internet may be at the highest risk for contracting HIV and are using novel Internet approaches to find sex partners, such as through online social networks. This is the first study to examine the effectiveness of the HOPE social media intervention to increase HIV testing among at-risk groups in the United States.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  18 years of age or older
  -  Male
  -  Sexually active with another man in the last 12 months
  -  Willing and capable of understanding and assenting to an online informed consent form

Clinical trial: Study of 1cm Versus 2cm Margins for the Surgical Treatment of cT2N0M0 Melanoma

Summary: This is a randomized non-blinded pilot study for patients with melanoma staging cT2N0M0 who are candidates for surgical resection. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of randomizing participants with cT2N0M0 malignant melanoma to surgical treatment with 1cm versus 2cm margins. Study will try to determine overall survival for cT2N0M0 malignant melanoma after surgical treatment with 1cm versus 2cm margins.

Detailed description: After randomization, participants will undergo surgery with wide local excision with either 1cm or 2cm margins. The margin will be based upon the previous biopsy site or area of pigmentation. The skin and subcutaneous tissue (down to fascia) will be resected. Closure considerations may require removal of additional tissue for non-oncologic purposes. As per standard of care, sentinel lymph node biopsy will be performed using a dual tracer technique (technetium radiolabeled sulfur colloid and isosulfan blue) with or without lymphoscintigraphy.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Biopsy proven T2 malignant melanoma.
  -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0-2.
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Visible additional disease that suggests a greater than T2 malignant melanoma

Clinical trial: Phase II Trial of Allovectin-7® for Metastatic Melanoma

Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if Allovectin-7®, an experimental gene-based immunotherapy, can shrink melanoma tumors. The trial will also examine if this treatment can improve the time to disease progression.

Detailed description: Treatment - If you take part in this trial you will be treated for about 10 weeks. You will receive an injection of Allovectin-7® by needle, directly into one or more selected tumors once a week for the first six weeks. The injections may be given in a doctor's office. During a four-week observation period, your disease will be measured to see if the treatment is working. This will be done by general physical exams and scans (such as X-ray scans). Patients who show no sign of disease progression may be offered an option to repeat this treatment course.

Eligibility: In order to be in this trial, you must meet the enrollment criteria. Below is a list of some of the enrollment criteria.
  -  You have been diagnosed with Stage III or Stage IV melanoma
  -  Your cancer has returned after a prior treatment (e.g. radiation or chemotherapy) or you refused therapy with standard treatment
