Brief Summary
The main objective of this project is to perform a longitudinal monitoring of BRAF and NRAS cell-free DNA in a large cohort of metastatic melanomas patients before treatment and during the follow-up. Results will be compared with clinical data as imaging (based on RECIST criteria) and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in serum (LDH).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Quantify plasmatic BRAF and NRAS mutation determine by PCR digitale in µg/ml before treatment
Day 0
Study the longitudinal monitoring of cell-free the kinetics of the plasma mutation of BRAF and NRAS mutation in µg/ml and comparing them with imaging (based on RECIST criteria) and with the activity of the lactate dehydrogenase in serum ( LDH) in U/l .
Month 24
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Compare the results obtained by PCR digitale from the cell-free with the results on FFPE tissue samples
Month 24
Identify genomic alterations and mutations of resistances in a restricted subgroup of patient by New Generation Sequencing analysis
Month 24
Study Arms (1)
Patient with malignant melanoma
EXPERIMENTALPatient with advanced or metastatic malignant melanoma (stage IIIB inoperable or IIIC or stage IV) will have a first blood test before any treatment, then at day 15 or 30 after initiation of therapy, and every two months until recurrence or progression for a maximum of 22 months.
Interventions
Quantification of cell-free BRAF and NRAS mutations with digital PCR
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients in metastatic situation for a malignant melanoma inoperable stage IIIB or IIIC or stage IV
- In first line of treatment by a targeted therapy (only or in association) or immunotherapy
- Every histological types of cutaneous or mucous malignant melanoma (excepted choroid melanomas)
- The tumor must be mutates for BRAF or NRAS
- The mutation status must have been realized in the Laboratory Pathology Clinical and Experimental (LPCE) of the CHU de Nice analysis of the status on-site metastatic mutational and/or primitive tumor must
