Trial summary

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive solid cancers, although mortality can be reduced with early treatment. Immunotherapy has transformed the prognosis of this pathology. The sentinel lymph node technique is used to classify the severity of melanoma. Read more about this study

About this study

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive solid cancers, although mortality can be reduced with early treatment. Immunotherapy has transformed the prognosis of this pathology.

The sentinel lymph node technique is used to classify the severity of melanoma. It is proposed for melanomas with a Breslow thickness of 0.8 mm to 1 mm, and recommended for melanomas greater than 1 mm or with ulceration, whatever the Breslow index.

This technique is particularly useful for assessing pathology by detecting the presence of lymph node metastases. Patients with lymph node involvement (micro or macro) are eligible for adjuvant treatment.

The new recommendations suggest adjuvant immunotherapy for stages IIB and IIC (without lymph node involvement assessed by the sentinel lymph node technique). This procedure is widely used at the CHRU de NANCY.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the value of the sentinel lymph node in assessing the risk of melanoma recurrence at one year (or more).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Death or recurrence one year after diagnosis

    Death or recurrence one year after diagnosis measured through the one-year reassessment (clinical or radiological evaluation).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall survival

    To evaluate the overall survival one year after diagnosis in melanoma patients eligible for a sentinel lymph node biopsy.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. predictive factors of mortality or recurrence one year after diagnosis

    To evaluate the predictive factors of mortality or recurrence one year after diagnosis in melanoma patients eligible for a sentinel lymph node biopsy.

    Measured: 4 years

  3. the recurrence-free survival

    To evaluate the recurrence-free survival of melanoma patients eligible for a sentinel lymph node biopsy.

    Measured: 4 years

  4. complications associated with the sentinel lymph node biopsy

    To evaluate the complications associated with the sentinel lymph node biopsy.

    Measured: 4 years

  5. recurrence-free survival of patients over 70 years old

    To evaluate the recurrence-free survival of patients over 70 years old with melanoma eligible for a sentinel lymph node biopsy.

    Measured: 4 years

  6. post-sentinel lymph node biopsy treatments

    To describe post-sentinel lymph node biopsy treatments

    Measured: 4 years

  7. the tolerance of adjuvant treatment.

    To document the tolerance of adjuvant treatment.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma, Skin and Adjuvant Treatment, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2025. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Death or recurrence one year after diagnosis (time frame: 1 year). 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 5 Feb 2025.
