The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of immunotherapy nivolumab and the targeted therapy cabozantinib prior to removal of the kidney will increase the number subjects who are without any visible kidney cancer in their body at some point during the course of treatment. The study will also evaluate the changes that nivolumab and cabozantinib…
The purpose of this study is to study two experimental drugs called canakinumab and spartalizumab produced by Novartis to see if: It is safe and feasible to give canakinumab and spartalizumab prior to radical nephrectomy; canakinumab and spartalizumab can kill cancer cells and bring immune cells into the kidney cancer when given to human subjects prior to…
This study will develop a data registry of patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma (UM). This registry will provide data that will be used to support the development of novel therapies for this disease. In this study, we are focused on trying to better understand how uveal melanoma behaves and how it is treated at different medical centers around the country.
Axitinib (AG-013736) is an investigational (experimental) drug that is being studied in patients with metastatic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. The main goal of this study is to find out if axitinib is able to stop tumors from growing, or shrink tumors in patients with this type of cancer.
This research study is a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. Investigational means that the intervention is being studied. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Nivolumab as treatment for…
This study will test whether cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab plus ipilimumab is more effective (works better) than nivolumab plus ipilimumab alone in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer who have not received prior treatment for their cancer. This study will also examine how safe cabozantinib is in combination with nivolumab plus…
The purpose of this research study is to test an investigational drug called NP001. The study will evaluate if NP001 has an effect on slowing the signs and symptoms of your ALS, if there are any side effects, and if there are any medical problems with giving the drug as a solution into your vein (intravenous IV administration). An investigational drug is…
This research study is being done to see if the study drug, IMCgp100, works and is safe as treatment for subjects with uveal melanoma who also test positive for HLA-A*0201. In this study IMCgp100 will be compared to three standard treatments: dacarbazine (a chemotherapy drug), ipilimumab (an immunotherapy drug), or pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug).…
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, intermittent dosing of the medication Selumetinib will have on you and your uveal melanoma. Selumetinib is a medication that blocks (or turns off) MEK, a protein activated in some uveal melanoma cells. Selumetinib is a MEK inhibitor. Blocking MEK may stop your cancer from growing.
This study is for patients who have renal cell carcinoma (RCC; a type of kidney cancer) and are at a high risk of disease coming back (disease recurrence) following either nephrectomy (surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney) or metastasectomy (removal of cancerous growth that has spread away from your kidney). The purpose of this study is to…
This is a Phase I study of a weekly intra-patient escalation dose regimen with IMCgp100 in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). To help decide whether or not patients can take part in a research study looking at a new form of treatment for advanced uveal melanoma, their blood need to first be tested to determine their Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA…
This study is designed to test how well an intravenous human immunoglobulin concentrate, IGIV-C (compared with placebo) improves your muscle weakness associated with MG symptoms. A placebo is a medication that looks like the study medication but has no active ingredient. Immunoglobulin is an antibody produced by white blood cells that is used by the immune…
The purpose of the treatment part of the study is to find out what effects drug crizotinib has, good and/or bad on people with "high risk" uveal melanoma after surgery or radiation for the eye. It is thought that giving crizotinib to patients with "high risk" uveal melanoma can lower the chance the cancer will come back. Uveal melanoma…
