About this study

Official title: Prospective Collection of Clinical Data and Human Body Material (HBM): Blood (Serum, Plasma, DNA) and Tissue of Cutaneous Melanoma, Non Melanoma Patients and Healthy Controls. Biobank Huidkanker

The goal of this clinical trial is to set up a prospective, fit-for-purpose collection of human body material (HBM)-blood (serum, plasma, DNA) and tissue-and standardized clinical data of patients with cutaneous melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer and healthy controls.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more
  • To create a biobank with samples of human body material (HBM): blood (serum/plasma/DNA) and tissue and clinical data of patients with cutaneous melanoma, non-melanoma and helathy controls.
  • To support future research questions (after specific approval of the Ethics Committee) by using the biobank (through satellite protocols).

If there is a comparison group: Not applicable (umbrella protocol for collection only).

Participants will:

  • Share demographics, medical and surgical history, risk factors.
  • Complete Cancer Worry Scale questionnaire.
  • Provide biological samples:
  • Blood samples (serum, plasma, DNA).
  • Tissue samples (residual tissue or additional biopsy if consented).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Biobank Collection ArmParticipants diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer or healthy controls will provide informed consent for collection and long-term storage of human body material (HBM)-blood (serum, plasma, DNA) and tissue-and associated clinical data for future research.
Receives: Other: Collection of Human Body Material and Clinical Data

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Establishment of a biobank of human body material (HBM) and clinical data

    Successful prospective collection and long-term storage of blood (serum, plasma, DNA), tissue samples, and associated clinical data from patients with cutaneous melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer and healthy controls.

    Measured: Baseline (diagnosis and informed consent) through study completion, approximately 10 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Availability of biobank resources for future research

    Number of approved satellite protocols using biobank samples and data for translational research.

    Measured: Baseline (diagnosis and informed consent) through study completion, approximately 10 years.

Individual data sharing
No: Individual participant data (IPD) will not be shared publicly. This study is an umbrella protocol for the collection and long-term storage of human body material (HBM) and associated clinical data in a biobank. Data are pseudonymized and linked to biological samples for future research projects, which require separate ethical approval. Access to IPD will only be granted under strict conditions through approved satellite protocols and in compliance with GDPR and Belgian privacy laws.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Skin Cancer, Non-Melanoma and Skin Cancer Melanoma, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Establishment of a biobank of human body material (HBM) and clinical data (time frame: Baseline (diagnosis and informed consent) through study completion, approximately 10 years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
