Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Primary care clinic

Who may be able to join

  • Fourth stage Melanoma patients with both measurable and not measurable lesions undergoing treatment with selective B-RAF inhibitors will be included. To determine the prevalence of CMC-positive patients in IV stage Melanoma, patients without mutated B-RAF undergoing chemotherapy and/or vaccines will be also enrolled at baseline, as part of study protocols approved and activated in the participating centers.
  • Informed written consent.

Who cannot join

  • Inadequate compliance to multiple blood draws (baseline, 15 days, 1th month, 4th month, and/or at progression) as scheduled in this adjunctive biologic study for patients carrying B-FAF mutation; inadequate compliance to adjunctive blood draws, as scheduled at baseline for BRAF wild-type
  • Previously exposure to immunological treatment.

About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of Circulating Melanoma Cells (CMCs) in Metastatic Melanoma (MM) Patients Treated With Selective Inhibitors of BRAF

The purpose of this study, is to evaluate Circulating Melanoma Cell (CMC) changes in Metastatic Melanoma (MM) patients, undergoing treatment with selective inhibitors of mutated BRAF.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational prospective pilot study aimed to investigate the association between changes of total and apoptotic CMC count and disease progression in MM patients undergoing treatment with selective inhibitors of mutated B-RAF.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Melanoma, run by Istituto Oncologico Veneto IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Vanna Chiarion-Sileni, MD (0039 0498215931, mgaliz@tiscali.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of CMC count during treatment and comparison with CT and PET (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01878396, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Oct 2016.
