Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an exploratory prospective translational multicentre study. Melanoma is the 5th most common cancer diagnosed in Ireland and its incidence among women and men is above the European average.

Following treatment the elimination of cancer cells ultimately occurs by the activation of apoptotic cell death pathways. The SYS-ACT approach builds on a combination of mathematical systems of modelling, quantitative biochemistry and cell biology, and specifically predicts the drug responsiveness of melanoma cell lines to various apoptosis-inducing treatments.

The investigators propose to validate the SYS-ACT approach and application in a translational systems medicine study.
