Clinical trial: Mutation Analysis and Copy Number Changes of KRAS and BRAF Gene in Taiwanese Cases of Biliary Tact Adenocarcinoma

Summary: Cholangiocarcinoma is a fatal malignant neoplasm originating from biliary tracts and constitutes about 5-10% of primary liver cancers, characterized by a poor prognosis. High prevalence in southeast and eastern Asia has been observed. At present, the cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to oncogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma remain unclear.
  The RAS gene product has a key role in controlling cell growth and differentiation through its intrinsic GTPase activity. Point mutations that activate the RAS protein and its downstream cascade have been observed in human tumors. Both KRAS and BRAF are members of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAP kinase pathway which mediates cellular response to growth signals. Somatic KRAS mutations are found at high rates in leukemia, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer. Studies from European and Japanese groups have recently described that activating KRAS/ BRAF mutations may play a role in the carcinogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma of the biliary tracts, but our preliminary data demonstrated low frequency of KRAS and BRAF mutation in the same tumor as well as the results from Thailand. In this study, the investigators hypothesize copy number changes rather than genetic mutation of either KRAS or BRAF genes may be the key findings of Taiwanese cases of the adenocarcinoma from the biliary tracts.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  The patients diagnosed as biliary tact adenocarcinoma.

Clinical trial: Utility of Novel BRAF Test for Melanoma

Summary: This primary purpose of this study is to obtain blood samples from participants with both early and later stages of melanoma (Stage II/III and Stage IV). The researchers hope to better understand an abnormal protein found in many melanoma tumors called the BRAFV600 mutation.
  There will be two separate cohorts (groups) of participants on this study. You will be placed in one of the Groups.
  Group 1-For participants with advanced melanoma: Your existing tumor tissue sample will be compared to the blood samples given in order to further analyze and to understand the BRAFV600E gene mutation.
  Group 2-For participants with stage II/III melanoma: Following surgery, blood samples will be collected and analyzed.
  Understanding the BRAFV600E gene mutation in melanoma will help the researchers better understand the disease, and help plan treatment options for people with melanoma of all stages in the future.

Detailed description: There will be no extra clinic visits for this study. These research blood samples will be drawn at the same time as your regularly scheduled blood draws that are part of standard care for melanoma.
  About 2 to 4 teaspoons of blood will be drawn for each research sample.
  Depending on which group you are in, you will have either a one time blood draw or ongoing blood work for 1-2 years.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Biopsy proven advanced (unresectable stage IIIC or stage IV)or high risk (stage II or stage III) malignant melanoma
  Exclusion Criteria:

Clinical trial: Modified Melanoma Vaccine for High Risk or Low Residual Disease Patients

Summary: This study is designed for patients who had malignant melanoma and, following tumor removal, are now free of disease, or have only very minor residual disease, and are at a very high risk of disease recurrence. These patients will be treated with the A2/4-1BBL melanoma vaccine, a compatible melanoma cell line that has been engineered to express a molecule termed 4-1BBL, which enhances the chances of the cell line to be recognized by the patient's immune system, and to induce its stimulation. The hypothesis that drives the study states that the immune response against the cell line will also be effective against the residual tumor that may still be present in the body.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
