Precision Medicine for L/GCMN and Melanoma 2

Recruiting
Conditions
Melanoma (Skin Cancer)
Nevi and Melanomas
Congenital Melanocytic Nevus
Interventions
Device: Breath analyzer
Device: Skin patch
Genetic: Liquid biopsy
Registration Number
NCT06605443
Lead Sponsor
Fundacion Clinic per a la Recerca Biomédica
Brief Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the possibility of using minimally and non-invasive technologies (skin patch and breath analyzer) based on the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for the early identification of metastases. The secondary objective is to evaluate the usability of these technologies in the follow up of high-risk melanoma patients.

Detailed Description

This is a unicentric national prospective observational study aimed at evaluating the use of two devices (skin patch and breath analyzer) for the non or minimally invasive diagnosis of metastatic melanoma with a total duration of 24 months. The study will be based on the obtention of different patterns of volatile organic compounds using the aforementioned devices for melanoma patients with and without metastasis. The results will be compared with the standard procedures for the detection of metastatic melanoma (standard imaging techniques such as PET, MRI, etc.) and correlated with standard prognostic biomarkers (cfDNA mutations in BRAF, NRAS, etc.) obtained using liquid biopsy.
