  • Patients with a procedure of first lymph node dissection or nodal basin ultrasound surveillance, per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines version 2.2020. The first lymph node dissection / nodal basin ultrasound surveillance signified that the patient was eligible to receive systemic treatment as adjuvant therapy.
  • The first lymph node dissection or nodal basin ultrasound surveillance (index adjuvant date) must have had a diagnosis of malignant melanoma of skin within 6 months, to ensure that the dissection was related to melanoma.
  • Patients with at least pharmacy or medical claim for the study drugs within 1 year on and after index date. The index date was the date of first prescription of study drug, IO (i.e., nivolumab, ipilimumab + nivolumab, pembrolizumab) or dabrafenib + trametinib.
  • At least 18 years of age at the time of adjuvant treatment initiation.
  • Patients with at least 6 months of continuous enrollment prior to the index date.
  • Patients with at least 6 months of continuous enrollment after the index date.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with a diagnosis of non-melanoma primary malignancy (ICD-9: 140.xx-165.xx, 170.xx-171.xx, 173.xx-195.xx, 200.xx-208.xx; ICD-10: C00.x - C14.x, C41.x, C49.x, C50, C51) during the 6 months pre-index period.
  • Patients with chemotherapy or interferon alpha before index date.
  • Patients with pregnancy (ICD-9: 630.xx-679.xx, V22.xx-V24.xx, V27.xx-V28.xx; ICD-10: O00 - O99) any time during the study period.

About this study

Official title: Retrospective Assessment of Adverse Events-Related Healthcare Resource Utilization and Costs of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor and Targeted Therapy for Adjuvant Treatment of Melanoma

This was a retrospective cohort study using Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicare Supplement and Coordination of Benefit administrative claims databases. The analysis was conducted using the most recent 5 years of data from the database, 01 January 2015, to 28 February 2021 (study period). Included patients were followed for outcome evaluation from the index date (first prescription of treatment, immunotherapy [IO] or targeted therapy [TT] following diagnosis of non-metastatic malignant melanoma and evidence of first lymph node resection), until the first occurrence of end of continuous eligibility or end of the study period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2023. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with adverse events (AEs) following first systemic adjuvant therapy (time frame: Up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 May 2023.
