Defining the Role of the Skin Microbiome in Immune-related Adverse Events

NCT04734704 | Terminated

• 1 other identifier: CHUBX 2020/41
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 57
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The skin microbiome has been implicated in several cutaneous autoimmune pathologies such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. However, its role in vitiligo and vitiligo lesions occuring in patients receiving anti-PD-1 for metastatic melanoma

Conditions

Vitiligo; Skin Melanoma

Keywords

immunotherapy; checkpoint inhibitors; vitiligo; skin microbiota; metastatic melanoma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Determine skin microbiota by sequencing with vitiligo in advanced melanoma patients under immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) immunotherapy.

  The composition of the skin microbiota will be characterized on skin swabs using shotgun sequencing of microbial genomes and meta-transcriptomics (RNA sequencing of microbial communities of the skin).

  Day 1

Study Arms (4)

vitiligo patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Adult patients diagnosed with Vitiligo according to usual criteria

Procedure: skin swabs at lesional and non-lesional sites

metastatic melanoma patients under anti-PD-1 who did not develop cutaneous irAEs

EXPERIMENTAL

metastatic melanoma patients under anti-PD-1 who did not develop Cutaneous Immune-Related Adverse Events (cutaneous irAEs).

Procedure: skin swabs on skin

Metastatic melanoma patients under anti-PD-1 who developed vitiligo lesions

EXPERIMENTAL

patients with metastatic melanoma, under anti-PD-1 who developed vitiligo lesions

Procedure: skin swabs at lesional and non-lesional sites

metastatic melanoma patients with vitiligo lesions under anti-PD-1 who discontinued

EXPERIMENTAL

Metastatic melanoma who developed vitiligo lesions under anti-PD-1 who discontinued the treatment

Procedure: skin swabs at lesional and non-lesional sites

Interventions

skin swabs at lesional and non-lesional sites PROCEDURE

It will be examined in patients skin swabs sampled at lesional and non-lesional sites

Metastatic melanoma patients under anti-PD-1 who developed vitiligo lesions; metastatic melanoma patients with vitiligo lesions under anti-PD-1 who discontinued; vitiligo patients

skin swabs on skin PROCEDURE

It will be examined in patients skin swabs sampled on skin

metastatic melanoma patients under anti-PD-1 who did not develop cutaneous irAEs
