Morning Versus Afternoon Administration of Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, The Knight SHIFT Study

This phase IV trial is evaluating whether morning versus afternoon administration of standard of care immunotherapy impacts its effectiveness in treating patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Circadian rhythm refers to the internal biological clock in which various processes in the body, including immune cell activity, are controlled by the time of day. Exactly how this works is not fully understood, and the researchers want to see if circadian rhythm control of the immune system can influence response to immunotherapy based on whether it is given in the morning (before 11:00 am) or afternoon (12:00pm). The time of day that immunotherapy is given (morning versus afternoon) may impact the effectiveness in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Sitagliptin With Pembro in RCC and Melanoma

This study is testing whether adding the drug sitagliptin to the standard immunotherapy pembrolizumab is safe and may help people with advanced melanoma or advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) whose cancer has stopped responding to prior PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy. The study has two parts. In the first part, small groups of participants will receive different doses of sitagliptin along with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab. This helps researchers find the highest dose of sitagliptin that can be given safely. In the second part, more participants will receive the safest dose to see how well the drug combination works against their cancer.

MELCHRONO: A Prospective Randomized Study Investigating Chrono-immunotherapy for Advanced Melanoma.

Melanoma remains a common cancer with rising incidence, and despite significant improvements with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), clinical outcomes remain heterogeneous. Retrospective analyses across multiple tumor types, including melanoma, suggest that earlier daytime administration of ICIs may enhance therapeutic effectiveness, potentially due to circadian modulation of immune function. A pronounced survival benefit has been observed particularly among female patients receiving earlier infusions. This trial prospectively evaluates whether aligning ICI administration with circadian immune activity can improve outcomes in melanoma and support the development of sex-specific optimization of immunotherapy.

At-Home Cancer Directed Therapy Versus in Clinic for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Cancer

This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.

Naltrexone and Propranolol Combined With Immunotherapy

Various forms of stress can promote cancer development and growth and negatively impact the immune system's response to tumors. Beta-adrenergic and opioid receptors co-exist in many cells including immune cells and are integral components of the body's response to stress. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that dual blockade of these receptors can decrease tumor growth and modulate the anti-tumor immune response. This clinical trial investigates the safety and potential therapeutic benefits of combining a beta-adrenergic blocker (propranolol) and an opioid receptor antagonist (naltrexone) with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced melanoma.

Assessment of Safety and Efficacy of OPM-101 Combined With Anti-PD-1 in Patients With Advanced Melanoma Showing Resistance to Anti-PD-1

This is a phase 1b/2a study including a dose escalation part (Phase 1b) and an extension part (Phase 2a). Both parts will be open-label, multicenter study of OPM-101 combined with the anti-PD-1 pembrolizumab as per standard of care in patients with MM who have been receiving an anti-PD-1-based treatment and have shown resistance to it, as defined by the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) criteria (Kluger, 2020). The objective of the study is to assess whether the addition of OPM-101 will resensitisze the tumour to the anti-PD-1-based treatment. Potential patients will be screened for this study during the period between initial evidence of disease progression on anti-PD-1 treatment and the required radiographic confirmation of disease progression. The intent is to initiate treatment with OPM-101 once the suspicion of disease progression on anti-PD-1-based therapy is confirmed, and the patient has signed the study Information and Consent Form. No anti-PD-1-based treatment should be administered within 4 weeks prior to study treatment initiation. In the dose escalation part (Phase 1b) of the study, two different doses of OPM-101 will be evaluated (75 mg bid and 150 mg bid) in combination with pembrolizumab. Patients will receive the dose and regimen of pembrolizumab, as per the authorised product SmPC, in sequential cohorts using a 3 + 3 design, escalating if 0 of 3 (or 1 of 6) patients experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 6 weeks of treatment and not escalating if 2 of 6 patients experience a DLT. The RP2D of OPM-101 for the second part of the study (Phase 2a) in combination with pembrolizumab will be based on the rate of DLTs, incidence and severity of Treatment-Related AEs (AEs) and SAEs, and frequency of dose holds, reductions and discontinuations. A Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will assess the safety criteria and make recommendations about dose escalation/de-escalation during the Phase 1b part, and on the RP2D to be used for further patients in the Phase 2a. The selection of the dose level for the Phase 2a will be based on safety and on preliminary PK/PD or even trends of efficacy. The DSMB will also review periodically the data during the Phase 2a and make recommendations about the continuation of the study. The cohort expansion part (Phase 2a) of the study will be conducted once the Phase 1b is completed and a safe and tolerated dose (potentially 150 mg bid) has been determined. Patients will receive daily oral treatment with OPM-101, while taking pembrolizumab for at least 12 weeks, i.e., at the time of the radiographic assessment of the disease for the primary endpoint evaluation. Patients who show a treatment response with Disease Control (CR, PR or SD) at 12 weeks will continue treatment with \[OPM-101 + pembrolizumab\] up to 24 weeks, when the second radiographic disease assessment is performed.
