Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug (CBL0137) to see what the best dose is and what the side effects are in patients with cancer that has spread to their extremities.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced melanoma or sarcoma in the limbs. Participants must have stable or improving disease, adequate organ function, and no recent major treatments or surgeries. They should not have certain heart conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, significant infections, untreated brain metastases, HIV/hepatitis B/C infection, or a history of severe reactions to CBL0137 components.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and optimal dosage of CBL0137 for treating extremity melanoma/sarcoma that has spread. It's a phase I trial focusing on how well this drug binds to DNA in tumor cells to inhibit their growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical chemotherapy-related issues such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss but may also involve unique risks like allergic reactions to the drug's components and possible effects on liver/kidney functions.

Other outcome measures
Melanoma-related symptoms measured using the FACT-M v.4
Melanoma-related symptoms measured using the associated Melanoma Cancer Subscale
Quality of life (QOL) measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Melanoma (FACT-M v.4) and the associated Melanoma Cancer subscale (MCS)
