Clinical trial: The Identification of Novel Prognostic Markers in Melanoma

Summary: The purpose of this project is to analyze tumour tissue from a group of subjects with malignant melanoma, who have been treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Detailed description: Background - The Royal Marsden Hospital and the Institute of Cancer Research constitute the largest comprehensive cancer centre in Europe. In addition to an in-house drug development program, phase I - phase III clinical trials of novel anti-cancer agents are hosted. In order to investigate the optimal use of novel molecularly targeted agents, access to clinical tumour samples is needed in order to determine which particular cancer type expresses a molecular "signature" that may indicate potential therapeutic utility. Understanding such signatures should accelerate the registration of new drugs for routine cancer therapy; offering the potential of selecting those patients with tumour types most likely to benefit from therapy. Furthermore, new insights into disease biology may be gained.
  Main research question/ objective - Are there features of primary melanoma or lymph node metastases that predict subsequent clinical outcome better than existing markers?

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Diagnosis of melanoma
  -  Adequate paraffin-embedded material available for analysis.
  -  Adequate clinical follow-up information
  -  Written informed consent where applicable
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Inadequate paraffin-embedded material available
  -  Inadequate clinical follow-up information.

Clinical trial: A Study of Vemurafenib (RO5185426) in Comparison With Dacarbazine in Previously Untreated Patients With Metastatic Melanoma (BRIM 3)

Summary: This randomized, open-label study evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of vemurafenib (RO5185426) as compared to dacarbazine in previously untreated patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients were randomized to receive either vemurafenib 960 mg orally twice daily or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Study treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. The data and safety monitoring board recommended that patients in the dacarbazine group be allowed to cross over to receive vemurafenib, and the protocol was amended accordingly on January 14, 2011, as both overall survival and progression-free survival endpoints had met the prespecified criteria for statistical significance in favor of vemurafenib.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  adults, >/=18 years of age
  -  metastatic melanoma, stage IIIC or IV (AJCC)
  -  treatment-naïve (no prior systemic anticancer therapy)

Clinical trial: Early Diagnosis of Malignant Transformation of Pigmentary Skin Lesions

Summary: Malignant Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer that can be cured if diagnosed early. To date atypical pigmented skin lesions are diagnosed by appearance alone and many moles and lesions are excised unnecessarily and on the other hand malignant lesions are missed and diagnosed too late. In this study a protein conjugated to a florescent dye is spread on a suspicious pigmented lesion, the hypothesis is that this protein binds to malignant cells only and thus with a special camera that picks up the dye we can find pigmented lesions with early malignant transformation.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  pigmented lesion indicated for surgical excision
  -  over 18 years of age
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  pregnancy

Clinical trial: Detection of Choroidal Nevus Cells in Vitrectomy Fluid

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigators can detect the presence of choroidal nevi cells in the vitreous fluid of humans, as this may improve the diagnosis and classification of choroidal nevi and melanomas in the future.

Detailed description: Approximately 7% of the population has a choroidal nevus, or "freckle," in the back of the eye. Like a nevus on the skin, there is potential for malignant change to a melanoma. Dermatologists have the ability to quickly and easily biopsy suspicious skin lesions while ophthalmologists currently have no way of determining the malignant potential of choroidal nevi other than a fine needle aspiration (which is invasive and has the potential complications of bleeding and retinal detachment). This study's sole aim is to see if choroidal nevi cells are present in the inside fluid of the eye. The investigators plan to analyze the fluid of the eye, which is routinely removed during retina surgery, to detect any nevus cells. If the investigators are able to detect these cells, then future studies may allow us to better classify choroidal nevi for potential malignant change.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients with a choroidal nevus who are undergoing routine vitrectomy surgery for another indication (such as epiretinal membrane or macular hole repair).
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients without a choroidal nevus
  -  Children under the age of 18
  -  Pregnant and nursing females
