Trial Information

Characterisation of T Lymphocytes, NK Cells and Macrophages in Melanoma Patients: Impact on Immunity Versus Immunosuppression


The study is divided in 4 parts:

Part 1: study of cellular infiltrate (lymphocytes) performed on large primary melanoma and
cutaneous metastasis ( fresh samples) Part 2: NK cells study on metastatic regional lymph
nodes ( fresh samples) and blood samples Part 3: a retrospective study of macrophages in
sentinel lymph nodes and in corresponding primary melanomas Part 4: study of the cellular
modulation by the chemotherapy (DTIC or cisplatin or inhibitor of B-raf) which(who) will be
made on two cutaneous metastases by patient (one taken before the treatment(processing) and
one taken during the evaluation after 2 or 3 cycles of treatment(processing))


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients with confirmed melanoma-patients informed of the aims of the study , the
modalities

- Patients who signed the consent form ou a non opposition form signed by the patient
or by a relative

According to study part:

Part 1: patients with a melanoma larger than 10mm or with cutaneous metastasis Part 2:
stage IV melanoma patients who shall undergo a regional lymph node dissection Part 3:
retrospective study of patients who underwent a sentinel node procedure Part 4: Patients
achieves of inoperable melanomas the stage(stadium) III or IV that must receive in
treatment (processing) a chemotherapy (by the dacarbazine or by the cisplatin or by the
inhibitor of B-raf) and carrier of at least two cutaneous metastases
