Clinical trial: Circulating Cell-free DNA in Metastatic Melanoma Patient: Mutational Analyses in Consecutive Measurement Before and After Chemotherapy

Summary: Therapies that target specific molecules markedly inhibit cancer growth in several malignancies, and provide valuable strategies for the treatment of advanced melanoma. In recent years, BRAF and KIT have become established therapeutic targets in melanoma patients showing activating mutations in these oncogenes. However, it is crucial that genetic mutations present in the melanoma lesions are identified if the investigators are to design tailormade therapies for individual patients. The tumour genotypes that determine the selection of molecular-targeted therapies are usually identified in primary tumours; however, primary tumours are not always representative of metastases. Circulating free DNA may be a source of valuable information because it can be obtained via routine blood sampling, it provides real-time information about a patient's current disease state, and it allows monitoring and molecular characterization before and after chemotherapy. The aim of the study is to determine the mutational status in circulating DNA in melanoma metastatic patients, with the Sequenom Mass Array, a next generation sequencing technology. Results obtained before and after treatment will be compared with the primary tumor genotype.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Age>18 years
  -  Surgical biopsy for histologic diagnostic

Clinical trial: Study of Dabrafenib, Trametinib and Metformin for Melanoma Patients

Summary: The main purpose is to evaluate the clinical response, safety and survival of the FDA approved drugs Dabrafenib, Trametinib in combination with Metformin.

Detailed description: The study will be a single-arm, single center, uncontrolled phase I/II trial to estimate the safety of the combined treatments and then estimate the efficacy in terms of objective response rate in patients with stage IIIC and Stage IV melanoma treated with dabrafenib/trametinib and metformin.

Clinical trial: Study to Determine the Feasibility of Sentinel Node Biopsy in Patients With Anal Cancer

Summary: The purpose of this study is assess the technical and operational feasibility of a specialised biopsy technique, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), in patients with anal cancer.

Detailed description: SLNB is based on the premise that lymphatic dissemination from a tumour occurs in a stepwise fashion, with initial involvement of a primary node, called the sentinel node, before dissemination to the remainder of the lymphatic chain. If the sentinel node is histologically negative, then the remainder of the nodes in the same anatomic region will be at a lower (assumed to be minimal) risk of containing metastases. SLNB is part of standard care for patients with malignant melanoma and with breast cancer but has yet to be prospectively evaluated in patients with anal cancer.
  Currently, the standard way to treat patients with anal cancer is to deliver a combination of chemotherapy and radiation to the tumour at the anus together with 'preventative' (prophylactic) radiotherapy to the lymph glands of the groin and pelvis. There is a growing perception for the need to reduce the morbidity of radiotherapy i.e. current regimens over-treat the patient and one approach is to reduce radiotherapy volume and/or dose where there is an absence or very low risk of nodal metastases.
  This feasibility study is a vital first step in informing the design of a larger study examining the role of SLNB in clinical decision-making and outcomes for patients with anal cancer. In this trial eligible patients will attend for lymphoscintigraphy, to locate the lymph node, before sentinel lymph node removal by surgery. Detection rate of the sentinel node(s) will be the key outcome for the study.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anus (any T size and/or those with recurrent disease)
  -  Equivocal lymph node involvement on standard CT staging or magnetic resonance (MR) staging or PET-CT scan, as determined by the anal cancer multidisciplinary team (MDT)
  -  Age >= 18 years
  -  Written informed consent provided by the patient
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Patients with unequivocal lymph node involvement on standard CT staging or MR staging, as determined by the anal cancer MDT.
  -  Unfit for surgical biopsy
  -  Patients undergoing palliative treatment
  -  Previous pelvic or inguinal area radiotherapy
  -  Other coincident cancers
  -  Previous inguinal surgery (e.g. hernia repair) with mesh insertion

Clinical trial: Use of Exome Sequence Analysis and Circulating Tumour in Assessing Tumour Heterogeneity in BRAF Mutant Melanoma

Summary: Despite recent advances in cancer treatment, little impact has been made on curing as opposed to controlling cancers over the last several decades. Part of the problem is that investigators have an incomplete understanding of how tumours behave as they evolve and in response to treatment. In this trial, the investigators hope to better understand the evolution of BRAF melanoma in response to drugs a patient may have received such as vemurafenib or dabrafenib. Importantly, the investigators want to understand how the tumours evolve resistance to these drugs and whether this can be predicted through blood tests, in particular of the circulating tumour DNA.

Detailed description: Study population: BRAF mutant melanoma patients
  Pre-mortem bloods will be taken from the patient on three occasions at one to thirty days apart from each other, with the first blood draw taking place on the patient's first clinic visit. Six 7 ml EDTA and one 6 ml SST vacutainers of blood (a total of approx. 50 ml of blood) will be taken from the patient.
  When death is expected within the next 48-72 hours, the Medical Oncologist/ Radiation Oncologist/ Hematologist OR delegate will revisit the RAP process with the patient and/or family/substitute decision maker to ensure that they are still in agreement. The patient and the families will also be provided with an additional consent form for participation including blood sampling.
