Brain metastases affect 37% of patients suffering from metastatic melanoma, and their prognosis remains poor, with an overall survival lower than six months. At the moment, there is no standard therapeutic strategy for management of melanoma brain metastases. In some

Alkylating agents, such as temozolomide (TMZ) and fotemustine (FTM) are widely used in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) regimes. Several strategies have been proposed to prevent resistance to these agents, by combining or sequencing them. We report the results of a pilot

Ipilimumab improves survival of patients with metastatic melanoma, many of whom develop brain metastases. Chemotherapy-induced release of tumour antigens might amplify ipilimumab's antitumour activity. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of ipilimumab plus fotemustine in patients with metastatic

Since multiple myeloma (MM) is still not-curable, the management of relapse remains challenging. Given the known efficacy of alkylating agents in MM, we conducted a phase I/II study to test a new three drug combination in which Fotemustine (Muphoran), an
