ATOM: Adjuvant Tebentafusp in High Risk Ocular Melanoma

After removal of a uveal melanoma, observation is currently the standard of care treatment for patients that don’t have metastases.For patients with high-risk primary uveal melanoma about 50% will have a recurrence (the melanoma will come back) following the removal (resection) of the tumour. Therefore, this trial aims to look at whether adjuvant treatment with tebentafusp may lower the chance of the melanoma coming back (recurring) in these high-risk patients.Tebentafusp is a proven and [...]

CARD-IO: CARDiac toxicity following ImmunOtherapy treatment for melanoma

The types of standard immunotherapy treatment used for patients with melanoma are known as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab or ipilimumab. While they work very well to treat melanoma, some patients can experience side effects. These side effects can affect any part of the body and patients can experience them from a mild level up to a very severe level.There has been a lot of research on the side effects that [...]

EXCISE: EXamining antibiotics for ulCerated skIn cancer Surgical Excision

This trial aims to investigate if antibiotics can stop infections from developing after surgery for ulcerated skin cancer. Surgery is the first line treatment for most skin cancers. However, surgery can lead to complications such as infection. Some people develop skin cancers that break through the skin surface causing a wound on the skin (called an ulcerated skin cancer) which are more likely to develop a wound infection after surgery. Doctors often give antibiotics [...]

MISST: Melanoma Immunomodulation and Immune Responses of the Skin Study: A Translational Science Research Protocol

This study aims to better understand how genes as well as the immune system affect the development of melanoma. Researchers hope that the results could improve how melanoma is detected and also lead to the development of new treatments for melanoma.The early stages of melanoma can be treated effectively by using surgery to remove the melanoma, but no cure is available at the moment in more advanced melanoma. Doctors currently don’t know what causes [...]

IDE196-009: Neoadjuvant/adjuvant IDE196 (darovasertib) in patients with primary uveal melanoma

The trial aims to investigate the effects of giving neoadjuvant therapy with IDE196 to patients planned to have surgery to remove the eyeball (enucleation), or plaque brachytherapy (a type of radiotherapy) to treat their melanoma tumour. The idea of giving neoadjuvant therapy is to give it before the main treatment to reduce the size of the melanoma so that the treatment given afterwards may be easier, or more effective, at removing the melanoma. In [...]

PerceIVe: Power of Liquid Biopsy Tracking in Immunotherapy Treated Stage 4 Melanoma

Immunotherapy treatment has changed the outlook for patients with advanced melanoma in the last 10 years.Patients who have a complete response (no remaining signs of melanoma in the body) to immunotherapy treatment have follow-up scans to check that their melanoma hasn’t returned. They have imaging scans (including CT scan, MRI and/or PET scan) every 3-6 months for 5-10 years (or longer) after stopping treatment, even though researchers now know that they have a low [...]

PPPIMS: Preoperative Planning with PSMA-PET in Melanoma Surgery

This is an observational trial. During an observational trial, the standard of care treatment won’t be changed (i.e. the planned surgery or drug treatment), but doctors may want to just take some extra tests or scans to see how they can improve the care of patients.As standard, before surgery to remove melanoma can take place, scans are performed to take images of the inside of the body to be able to see where there [...]

REACT: REmission induction of Arthritis caused by Cancer ImmunoTherapy

Inflammatory arthritis is a condition which causes swelling and pain in the joints (for example, fingers, toes, knees, hips, wrists, elbows).A side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment can be inflammatory arthritis and this can cause symptoms that ultimately affect a patient’s quality of life, such as joint damage. Symptoms can last a long time, even after the ICI is stopped, which means that patients may need long-term treatment for the arthritis.This trial [...]

TEBE-AM: Tebentafusp Regimen Versus Investigator's Choice in Previously Treated Advanced Melanoma

Currently, if a patient with advanced melanoma has disease progression during or after they receive treatment with immunotherapy, there aren’t many more available standard treatment options that are proven to be very effective. If the patient has a BRAF positive mutation, they can then be treated with targeted therapy, and if they have disease progression after this, they are left with few treatment options.This trial aims to investigate how effective treatment with tebentafusp or [...]
