This Study is a Phase II Study of AZD6738 in Combination With Durvalumab in Patients With Solid Tumor (Cohort A (N=30): GC Who Have Failed Secondary Chemotherapy Treatments Regimen; Cohort B (B=30): Melanoma Patients Who Have Failed to IO)

This study is a phase II study of AZD6738 in combination with durvalumab in patients with solid tumor (cohort A (N=30): GC who have failed secondary chemotherapy treatments regimen; cohort B (B=30): melanoma patients who have failed to IO). Patients will receive AZD6738 plus durvalumab combination regimen. AZD6738 will be administered at 240 mg twice daily on days 1 to 7 in Cycle 0 (lead-in period) and therafter at 240 mg BD on days 22 to 28 in a 28-day cycle. Durvalumab will be administered at 1500 mg every 4 weeks from cycle 1 day 1. Tumour evaluation using modified RECIST 1.1 will be conducted at screening (within 28 days prior to first dose) and every 8 weeks relative to the date of first dose, up to week 40, then every 12 weeks until objective disease progression (within a window of +/- 7 days of the scheduled date). Patients will continue to receive treatment with AZD6738 and durvalumab provided that the treatment is tolerable and there is evidence of clinical benefit (as judged by the investigator) and secure supply of medication. Upon confirmation of objective disease progression, or treatment disconiutation criteria are met, both durvalumab and AZD6738 must be discontinued. Patients may continue with AZD6738/durvalumab beyond objective disease progression (determined by modified RECIST 1.1) at the discretion of the investigator if they are clinically benefiting from the treatment and they do not meet any other discontinuation criteria. If either durvalumab and/or AZD6738 are deemed intolerable (as judged by the investigator) so that discontinuation of either agent is deemed in the patient's best interest despite dose interruptions, dose modification and initiation of supportive treatments, both durvalumab and AZD6738 must be discontinued and the patient withdrawn from the study. Patients are not permitted to continue either AZD6738 or durvalumab as monotherapy. There is no maximum duration of treatment with AZD6738 and durvalumab. The imaging modalities used for modified RECIST 1.1 assessment will be CT or MRI scans of chest,abdomen and pelvis. modified RECIST 1.1 scans will be analysed by the investigator on site. Patients will also be requested to provide tumour samples from the primary or metastatic tumours pre-study and on progression. Sample provision is mandatory, subject to aspecific consent, and will aid understanding of resistance mechanisms. However, if biopsy site is not feasible, the protocol will allow waiving the rebiopsy procedure.

Anti-PD-1 Antibody in the Treatment of Patients With Malignant Melanoma of the Female Genital Tract

This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm phase II clinical study to exploratory observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody (Camrelizumab for Injection) in patients with malignant melanoma of the female genital tract. Subjects were to have a safety visit 3 days prior to dosing in each treatment cycle after the study. Imaging was performed every 8 weeks to assess efficacy until radiographic progression, initiation of new antineoplastic therapy, withdrawal of consent, or subject lost to follow-up/death. After the end of treatment, an end-of-treatment visit and a post-treatment safety visit will also be performed. After the end of treatment, subjects will also be followed up for survival (every 3 months for years 1 to 2, every 4 months for years 3, every 6 months for years 4 to 5, and annually from year 6) to collect and record the survival status of subjects and subsequent anti-tumor treatment.

Fast Track Diagnosis of Skin Cancer by Advanced Imaging

Aim of study: To collect data for a new image-guided diagnostic algoritm, enabling the investigators to differentiate more precisely between benign and malignant pigmented tumours at the bedside. This study will include 60 patients with four different pigmented tumours: seborrheic keratosis (n=15), dermal nevi (n=15), pigmented basal cell carcinomas (n=15), and malignant melanomas (n=15), these four types of tumours are depicted in Fig.1, and all lesions will be scanned by four imaging technologies, recruiting patients from Sept 2019 to May 2020. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (CM) will be used to diagnose pigmented tumours at a cellular level and provide micromorphological information5;6. Flourescent CM will be applied to enhance contrast in surrounding tissue/tumours. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), doppler high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) and photoacustic imaging (also termed MSOT, multispectral optoacustic tomography) will be used to measure tumour thickness, to delineate tumours and analyze blood flow in blood vessels. Potential diagnostic features from each lesion type will be tested. Diagnostic accuracy will be statistically evaluated by comparison to gold standard histopathology

Phase Ib of L-NMMA and Pembrolizumab

The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to test the safety of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) and pembrolizumab when used together in participants with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), urothelial carcinoma, Cervical Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Gastric Cancer, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Merkel Cell Carcinoma, Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma, Renal Cell Carcinoma, Small Cell Lung Cancer, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) cancer or for the Treatment of Adult Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Tumor Mutational Burden-High Solid Tumors. Pembrolizumab is a type of treatment that stimulates the immune system to attack cancer cells. The immune system is normally the body's first defense against threats like cancer. However, sometimes cancer cells produce signals like programmed death-1 (PD-1) that prevent the immune system from detecting and killing them. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 so your immune system can detect and attack cancer cells. To help further boost the cancer-fighting ability of your immune system, L-NMMA will be used along with pembrolizumab. L-NMMA is a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. The presence of nitric oxide synthase in the area around the cancer cells blocks the cancer-fighting ability of the immune system. Thus, the use of L-NMMA and pembrolizumab together may make the immune system work harder to attack and destroy the cancer cells.

PET Imaging of the Immune System Using Analog Probes

The goal of this proposal is to assess the biodistribution of 18F-Clofarabine, a new tracer developed for use in PET/CT scans. The investigator's hypothesis is this tracer will allow for imaging immune activation in patients with melanoma before and after treatment with immunotherapy. A maximum of 10 subjects are intended to be included in this study. Each subject will undergo a maximum of two 18F-Clofarabine PET/CT scans, with each visit taking up to 4 hours. The first visit will be prior to the first cycle of immunotherapy treatment, and the second scan will take place 2-4 weeks after the immunotherapy treatment has started. Prior to the PET scan an IV line will be placed. Blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen and ECG will be obtained. Then the 18F-Clofarabine will be injected and the PET/CT scan acquisition started. After a maximum of 120 min of scanning, subjects will undergo again blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen and ECG.
