Melanoma Clinical Trials

Melanoma clinical trials at Moffitt Cancer Center offer patients novel opportunities to try exciting new treatments and the chance to be among the first to benefit from them. Through important research studies, physicians evaluate innovative treatment options and compare them with the current best practices. As a result, the standard of care improves continually for the benefit of all patients.
Who is Eligible for Melanoma Clinical Trials?
A patient’s eligibility for melanoma clinical trials is carefully determined by considering several factors for each particular study. To ensure accuracy and help researchers achieve meaningful results, potential participants are screened based on characteristics like age, gender, type and stage of cancer, past treatments and overall health and wellness.
Once a patient qualifies for a clinical trial, he or she must then decide whether to participate. At Moffitt, we work carefully with our patients to make sure they have all the information they need to make informed choices. With regard to clinical trials for melanoma, our team will explain:
- What the study will entail and how it might affect the patient’s daily life
- How the proposed treatment compares with the standard of care
- The risks and benefits associated with the treatment under study
- Potential side effects
- The requirements of participation, including testing, hospitalization and physician visits
- Other available treatment options
- Whether long-term follow-up care will be needed
