Study Population

Adults with melanoma with involvement of lymph nodes or metastatic disease who have undergone complete resection, and who receive adjuvant nivolumab under real-world conditions in Belgium or Luxembourg. Patients will be enrolled after complete surgical resection and following a screen procedure (according to standard practice) that shows no evidence of disease. Patients currently enrolled in an interventional clinical trial will not be eligible.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a primary diagnosis of melanoma with involvement of lymph nodes or metastatic disease who have undergone complete resection and have no evidence of disease.
  • Decision to treat with adjuvant nivolumab therapy has already been taken
  • At least 18 years of age at the time of treatment decision
  • Patients who provide written informed consent to participate in the study (for retrospectively enrolled patients who are deceased at time of study start, a consent waiver will be sought)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any patient with a diagnosis of persisting advanced melanoma prior to first administration of nivolumab
  • Any patient currently enrolled in an interventional clinical trial for his/her melanoma treatment (note: patients who have completed their participation in an interventional trial or who are no longer receiving the study drug and are only followed up for Overall Survival (OS)/ Relapse Free Survival (RFS) can be enrolled. In case of a blinded study, the treatment arm needs to be known).

Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria could apply

QOL (quality of life) of patients with resected melanoma receiving adjuvant nivolumab therapy by using the EuroQOL-5D (EQ-5D)
Time Frame: 5 years
The EQ-5D is a standardized 3-level, 5-dimensional multi-attribute utility questionnaire that measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, where each dimension is rated by individuals as no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems.
5 years
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ C-30 questionnaire
Time Frame: 5 years
The EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire is a 30-item instrument that comprises 5 functional scales (physical functioning, cognitive functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning and global quality of life) as well as nine symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties).
5 years
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Melanoma (FACT-M) questionnaires
Time Frame: 5 years
The FACT-M is a frequently used melanoma specific questionnaire which has been validated to assess HRQOL for patients with all stages of melanoma. Besides general questions on Physical Well-Being, Social/Family Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, and Functional Well-Being, it also contains specific questions related to melanoma, including a subscale on the melanoma surgery
