A Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Acupuncture for Treatment of Radiation-Induced Xerostomia in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer
ECOG-ACRIN EA 6134 – Randomizes between Dabrafenib + Trametinib followed by Ipilimumab + Nivolumab at progression or Ipilimumab + Nivolumab followed by Dabrafenib + Trametinib at progression. BRAF V600 mutation is required, and patients must have Stage IV or unresectable Stage III, measurable disease.
SWOG S1320 – Randomizes between intermittent versus continuous dosing of Dabrafenib + Trametinib for BRAF V600E/K mutant, Stage IV or unresectable Stage III, melanoma. Again, patients must have measurable disease.
SWOG S1616 – Randomizes between Nivolumab + Ipilimumab or Ipilimumab alone in Stage IV or unresectable Stage III melanoma patients with measurable disease refractory to Anti-PD-1 or Anti-PD-L1 agents.
SWOG S1512 – Phase II trial of PD-1 blockade with Pembrolizumab in resectable or unresectable desmoplastic melanoma. Also requires measurable disease
SWOG S1607 – Phase II trial combining T-VEC (talimogene laherparepvec) + Pembroluzumab in patients with in Stage IV or unresectable Stage III melanoma patients with measurable disease who have progressed on Anti-PD1/L1 based therapy. Patients must have 2 cutaneous, subcutaneous or nodal lesions which are injectable.
