NCT ID NCT05429138

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tracks fertility markers in 80 melanoma patients (women aged 18-37, men aged 18-45) before, during, and after adjuvant therapy with anti-PD-1 or targeted treatments. Researchers measure hormone levels in women and sperm quality in men to see how these change over time. The goal is to better understand the effects of modern melanoma treatments on reproductive health.
