Fondazione Melanoma Onlus

Melanoma Research

Clinical activity centres on surgically resectable melanoma with high-risk features, including BRAF-mutated and BRAF wild-type disease. The sponsor’s studies focus on treatment strategies used around surgery and on disease control in stage III/IV (M0) settings.

  • Neoadjuvant immunotherapy
  • Adjuvant treatment
  • High-risk resectable melanoma
  • BRAF-mutated and wild-type disease

Research interests include immune-based approaches and combination strategies aimed at improving tumour response and reducing relapse risk in patients eligible for surgery.

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The sponsor is also involved in high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, particularly cases that remain surgically resectable. The clinical focus is on therapies used before and after surgery in locally advanced disease.

  • High-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
  • Surgical resectability
  • Perioperative immunotherapy

This area reflects interest in immune checkpoint inhibition for controlling aggressive skin cancer and supporting durable disease management.

Immune-Oncology and Combination Therapy

Several funded trials explore immuno-oncology combinations in solid tumours with a focus on neoadjuvant and adjuvant use. The research landscape includes pairing checkpoint inhibitors with other immune-modulating agents and targeted therapies.

  • Checkpoint blockade
  • Combination immunotherapy
  • Immune modulation
  • Perioperative cancer treatment

These studies are directed toward strengthening anti-tumour activity in settings where surgery alone may not be sufficient to control recurrence.
