Clinical trial: Efficacy Study of Pharmacokinetic(PK)/Pharmacodynamic(PD) Relationship of Monotherapy MORAb-004 in Metastatic Melanoma

Summary: This is a global, Phase 2, open label, dose selection, proof-of-concept study to assess progression free survival in subjects with metastatic melanoma.
  80+ subjects at 29 sites in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Australia will be randomized into one of two dose groups: 2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg. Weekly treatment will continue until disease progression.
  Subjects must have measurable disease by CT Scan or MRI and must have completed at least one prior round of chemotherapy.
  Subjects will be assessed for Efficacy, PK/PD, Overall survival, and Safety (Adverse Events/Adverse Events of Interest, Electrocardiograms (ECG's), clinical labs, physical exams/vital signs, tolerability).

Clinical trial: Assessing the Clinical Effectiveness of Serum Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Summary: Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. The local treatment is effective, but patients still die of metastatic disease. It has been shown that early diagnosis of a few isolated metastases can result in a clean surgical excision of the metastases and an extension of the expected survival from 7-12 months to over 10 years on some patients.
  Many serum biomarkers are employed in Oncology. It makes sense to try the relevant ones in the diagnosis of metastatic uveal melanoma.
  The investigators hypothesis is that a soluble serum biomarker level changes upon development of metastatic disease either by secretion by the tumor cells themselves or by their environment. Detection of changes in biomarker level may lead to the diagnosis of metastases before they can be detected by imaging modalities, thus allowing for early treatment of the metastases and a better chance of success.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  diagnosis of uveal melanoma
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  refusal to participate in the study

Clinical trial: Study of Circulating Tumor Cells Before and After Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Summary: Circulating tumor cells (CTC) are the subject of increasing interest in clinical oncology as a prognostic factor and predictor of therapeutic response. The detection of CTC by immunomagnetic method has proved its reliability and its usefulness for monitoring breast cancer, colon and prostate in the metastatic and immunomagnetic detection system (CellSearch, Veridex LLC) was approved by the FDA in these indications. However, to date there is no reliable method to detect CTCs in melanoma (CMC). Studies based on PCR amplification of mRNA by reverse specific melanoma is disappointing. Recently, a new detection system of CMC immunomagnetic was presented (CellSearch, Veridex LLC, United States). This system has the advantage of combining immunomagnetic selection step and a step of identifying by immunofluorescence. A preclinical study on serial dilutions of melanoma cells has shown encouraging results. The investigators propose a prospective study of the CellSearch system in patients with melanoma.
  Primary objective: To determine the effect of treatment on the number of circulating melanoma cells in patients with metastatic melanoma.
  Secondary objectives:
  -  determine the percentage of patients with metastatic melanoma with melanoma cells circulating
  -  seek a relationship between the number of circulating melanoma cells and prognosis in patients with metastatic melanoma
