This study tracks how choroidal melanoma and its treatment affect patients' quality of life. It involves 15 people already in a larger Phase 3 trial. Participants fill out questionnaires about their well-being over two years. No new drugs or procedures are tested here.

This study is tracking 40 people in Slovenia with metastatic melanoma who are receiving standard first-line immunotherapy. Researchers want to see how well the treatment works and look for clues in blood, stool, and tumor samples that might predict who will benefit most. The goal…

This study collects blood and tumor samples from 1,000 people with melanoma and healthy volunteers. Researchers will analyze these samples to learn more about what causes melanoma and how tumors behave. The goal is to find new markers that could lead to better diagnosis or treatm…

This study looks at how electrochemotherapy—a treatment that uses electric pulses to help chemotherapy drugs enter cancer cells—changes the environment around melanoma skin tumors. Researchers will collect tissue samples from 150 adults before and after treatment to see how immun…

This study follows 800 children born with eye malformations like microphthalmia, anophthalmia, aniridia, or anterior segment defects. Researchers will track their vision, brain development, and overall health for up to 10 years to better predict outcomes. No new treatments are be…

This study aims to understand the full burden of 9 rare skin diseases—including physical, emotional, social, and financial challenges—on patients and their families. Researchers will use special questionnaires to track how these conditions affect daily life and care needs. About …

This study is testing whether a mobile app called Vigilant can help monitor side effects in 100 people with skin cancer or melanoma who are starting a specific type of immunotherapy. Participants will use the app to report any symptoms they experience, and researchers will track …

This study aims to create immune organoids—tiny lab-grown models of the immune system—using cells from children and young adults with brain tumors, kidney tumors, neuroblastoma, or sarcoma. Researchers will mix these organoids with tumor cells to see how they interact. The goal i…

This study aims to find the genetic causes behind certain allergic and immune system disorders. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people of all ages, along with some family members. No treatments are given; the goal is simply to learn mo…
