Phase3
Summary MSLT-II ia a phase III multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial to determine if LM/SL and CLND for tumor-positive SN improves melanoma-specific survival compared to LM/SL alone followed by observation with serial nodal ultrasound in subjects with histopathologic or molecular evidence of metastases in the SN.
Eligibility
- Between 18 and 75 years of age
- Have a primary melanoma that is cutaneous
- ECOG performance of 0-1
- Have a melanoma-related tumor-positive SN, determined by either of the following methods a). Diagnosis of tumor-positive SN by MSLT-II center institutional pathologist by either H&N or IHC (using S-100, Mart-1, and HMB-45). b). Diagnosis of tumor-positive SN by RT-PCR analysis performed a JWCI, provided the primary melanoma fits into one of the following categories:
1. Breslow thickness of 1.20mm of greater and Clark Level III
2. Clark Level IV or V, regardless of Breslow thickness
3. Ulceration, regardless of Breslow thickness or Clark level.
