Merkel Cell Carcinoma clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive skin cancer. UCSF is conducting studies to evaluate a new treatment's safety and its effects on tumors. They are looking at how this treatment works in people with advanced skin cancers, including transplant patients.
Beta-only IL-2 ImmunoTherapY Study
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate safety and tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early signal of anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors.

RP1 in Solid Organ Transplant Patients With Advanced Cutaneous Malignancies
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This Phase 1B/2 study is a multicenter, open-label, study of RP1 to investigate the (a) objective response rate, in addition to (b) safety and tolerability of RP1 for the treatment of advanced cutaneous malignancies in up to 65 evaluable organ transplant recipients. This will include patients with either previous renal, hepatic, heart, lung, or other solid organ transplantation or hematopoietic cell transplant and experiencing subsequent documented locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous malignancies. The study will enroll a total of 65 evaluable patients. Patients will participate up to approximately 3 years including a 28-day screening period, up to approximately 1 year treatment period, and a 2-year follow-up period.
