Clinical Trial Summary

This trial is a translational proof-of-concept, open-label, prospective cohort study of 60 patients aiming to identify the clinical markers and/or biomarkers associated with therapeutic response to immune checkpoints inhibitors, in patients with advanced melanoma.

The study will be conducted on a population of patients treated with anti-PD-1 alone (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) or in combination (nivolumab + ipilimumab) in the context of routine care.

For each included patient, blood samples will be collected at different time points.

If feasible, an optional tumor biopsy specimen will be collected during baseline visit.

All included patients will be followed-up for tumor response and toxicity until Week 12.

After Week 12, survival data (tumor status and/or survival status) will be collected every 3 months until a maximum duration of 1 year from the first study dose.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age =18 years at the time of study entry.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patient pregnant, or breast-feeding.

2. Uveal melanoma.

3. Any condition contraindicated with sampling procedures required by the protocol.

4. Any psychological, familial, geographic or social situation, according to the judgment of investigator, potentially preventing the provision of informed consent or compliance to study procedure.

5. Any current severe or uncontrolled disease, including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection.

6. Patient who has forfeited his/her freedom by administrative or legal award or who is under guardianship.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The primary endpoint is the discriminant capacity to predict progression at 12 weeks evaluated using RECIST V1.1 criteria.		12 weeks per patient
Secondary	Objective response (i.e. complete or partial response) will be defined using RECIST V1.1 criteria at week 12.		12 weeks per patient
Secondary	Response duration is defined as the time from objective response until progression according to investigator judgment, or death.		12 months per patient
Secondary	Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from inclusion until progression according to investigator judgment, or death, whichever occurs first.		12 months per patient
