ECT changes in melanoma skin tumors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests how electrochemotherapy (ECT) changes the area around melanoma tumors in the skin. It may help doctors understand why ECT works and who benefits most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have more than 4 melanoma spots in the skin or just under the skin that have spread from the original tumor.
- Your doctor has recommended electrochemotherapy (ECT) as a possible treatment.
- The spots can be removed with a minor surgery under local numbing medicine, without needing a skin graft or flap.
- Your melanoma is stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV.
- You are 18 or older and in reasonably good health (able to do daily activities).
- You understand the study and agree to participate.

This study tests if electrochemotherapy can change the environment around melanoma tumors. It may help patients with melanoma that has spread to the skin or just under the skin.
This trial tests whether a targeted electric current can improve treatment for vulvar cancer that has returned after standard therapy. The treatment uses electricity to help chemotherapy drugs enter cancer cells more effectively.
This Phase 2 study tests electrotherapy (a way to help treatment reach tumor cells) for gynecologic cancers that have come back after standard treatments were used up. You may be considered if your overall health allows anesthesia and if certain cancer spread and medical safety issues do not apply.
This trial tests if a lower dose of the drug bleomycin works as well in electrochemotherapy for skin or under-the-skin tumors. The goal is to reduce side effects while still treating cancer effectively.
This trial tests a treatment called electrochemotherapy for tumors in internal organs (like the liver or pancreas) when standard treatments are no longer possible. It uses a drug called bleomycin plus electric pulses to target cancer cells.
This Phase 2 study compares adding electrotherapy to give carboplatin plus bleomycin directly to the tumor versus giving bleomycin alone. It may help shrink recurrent vulvar cancer when standard options aren’t suitable and your health is limited.
