Melanoma Treatment's hidden cost: study probes fertility damage
NCT ID NCT07138222
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a common treatment for melanoma, may affect the reproductive organs and sex hormones in men and women. Researchers will collect blood samples and questionnaires from 80 participants during their regular treatment visits, and men will also provide semen samples. No new treatments are given—this is an observational study to better understand potential side effects on fertility and hormone health.
