Brief Summary

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

The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of patients with stages IIB to IV cutaneous melanoma resulted in dramatic improvements in mortality rates for this common form of cancer. With this rapid shift in treatment, significant gaps in knowledge exist regarding the impact of ICIs on patients' symptom experiences. An in-depth characterization of inter-individual differences in patients' symptom experiences will fill this knowledge gap and assist with the early detection of ICI toxicity; guide symptom management; inform treatment decision making; and refine ICI-symptom instrument development. Furthermore, given the limited knowledge in this area, the identification of demographic, clinical, environmental, and molecular risk factors associated with a worse symptom experience is warranted. This is a longitudinal, prospective study evaluating the symptoms that immune checkpoint inhibitors may cause in patients with cutaneous melanoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

1. Evaluate for changes over time in the patients' symptom experience,
2. Identify distinct symptom profiles over time.
3. Evaluate for demographic, clinical, environmental, and molecular risk factors associated with a worse profile.

OUTLINE:

Participants receiving ICI outside the scope of this study as part of usual care will have a chart review from the first cycle of non-investigational treatment for up to 4 cycles. Participants may complete symptom and health-related quality of life questionnaires during the course of the study, and blood samples will be obtained at regular clinic visits.
