Virus injection aims to stop melanoma before it spreads
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-phase study tests an injection of a modified herpes virus (RP1) directly into high-risk melanoma tumors. The goal is to see if it can kill cancer cells and reduce the chance of the cancer spreading to nearby lymph nodes. About 25 adults with thick or ulcerated melanoma…

Scientists track Melanoma's metabolic tricks in tiny study
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at melanoma tumors that spread between the main tumor and nearby lymph nodes (called in-transit metastases). Researchers will take biopsies from different spots and use a safe tracer to measure oxygen levels. They aim to understand how these tumors change metabol…

Oxygen levels in melanoma may predict cancer spread
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is investigating whether low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in melanoma tumors and nearby lymph nodes are linked to worse outcomes. Researchers will give 50 patients a safe oral tracer called pimonidazole before their standard surgery. By measuring hypoxia in the removed tiss…
