Psilocybin-assisted Existential, Attachment and RelationaL (PEARL) Therapy for Patients With Advanced Cancer

The PEARL Pilot is a phase II open-label trial. Participants will receive a single high-dose (25 mg) of psilocybin in the context of Psilocybin-assisted Existential, Attachment and RelationaL (PEARL) therapy.

Neoadj Admin Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes & Pembrolizumab for Treatment of Adv Melanoma Patients

This phase I/II trial tests the safety and side effects of LN-144 (Lifileucel) and pembrolizumab in treating patients with stage IIIB-D or stage IV melanoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Biological therapies, such as LN-144 (Lifileucel), use substances made from living organisms that may attack specific tumor cells and stop them from growing or kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lifileucel and pembrolizumab may make the tumor smaller.

Optimization of Immunotherapy Treatment for Advanced Melanoma in the Context of the Public Brazilian Health System (OTIMAS)

The OTIMAS study is a phase II trial designed to evaluate if the duration of one year of pembrolizumab immunotherapy for advanced metastatic melanoma has equivalent efficacy as the two-year duration of historical controls.

Immunotherapy With Ipilimumab and Nivolumab Preceded or Not by a Targeted Therapy With Encorafenib and Binimetinib

This is a multicenter, 2-arm open-label, randomized comparative phase II study. The objective of this trial is to prospectively evaluate whether a sequential approach with an induction period of 12 weeks with encorafenib + binimetinib followed by combination immunotherapy with nivolumab + ipilimumab improves progression free survival compared to combination immunotherapy nivolumab + ipilimumab alone in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

A Phase II Trial of PD-L1 Therapy Combined With Anti-VEGF Therapy in Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

This research study is studying a combination of two drugs that change the immune system and tumor as a possible treatment for metastatic or unresectable stage III or IV cutaneous melanoma. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Atezolizumab * Bevacizumab

Investigating Participation Patterns Among Stage IV Melanoma Patients

Clinical trials, specifically focused on stage IV melanoma, are crucial in assessing the safety and efficacy of new treatments for this disease. These trials serve as fundamental instruments in determining whether emerging medications outperform standard therapies, providing compelling evidence to support wider implementation. The main goal is to thoroughly scrutinize trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals among this particular group of patients.
