NCT ID NCT04792463
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking for 500 people with certain cancers (like eye or skin melanoma, kidney cancer, or mesothelioma) and their family members to understand how common BAP1 gene mutations are. Researchers will collect medical history and questionnaires to learn about cancer risks and environmental factors. The goal is to improve screening and prevention for families with this genetic syndrome.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better screening and earlier detection of cancers in people with BAP1 mutations, potentially improving outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and results may take years to translate into clinical practice.
