NCT ID NCT07148245
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 300 adults with advanced melanoma who are receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers will collect blood samples, quality-of-life surveys, and medical records to track symptoms over time. The goal is to identify patterns and risk factors for worse symptoms, helping doctors catch side effects early and improve treatment decisions.
