Official title: Understanding Current Patterns of Care and Planning for the Future – A Retrospective Observtional Study in Melanoma
Trial description: Melanoma, a malignant tumor of melanocytes found predominantly in the skin, causes the majority of skin cancer-related deaths. New therapies have been approved in the United States and more are being developed. Given the evolving landscape in the treatment of metastatic melanoma, GSK and Duke University Health System aim to conduct a retrospective, real-world observational study to inform the understanding of clinical practice patterns, treatment sequencing and prioritization, and patient experience. The primary objective of this study is to describe treatment patterns in a population of subjects receiving care for metastatic melanoma in an academic oncology setting. The secondary objectives are 1.) to describe progression free survival (PFS) and tumor response and 2.) to describe health resource utilization (including office visits, concurrent medications including supportive care medications, hospitalization stays, and emergency department (ED) visits, and home health visits) in this population. This study will be a retrospective analysis of data integrated from several Duke University Health System resources including the Duke Decision Support Repository which encompasses the Duke Tumor Registry, the Duke ePRO dataset, and Duke University Health System medical records. Data will be derived from these sources, with a unifying case report form (CRF). Data will be entered using an electronic data capture interface that mimics the CRF. The design of this study is a retrospective observational study of melanoma patients treated at Duke University Health System.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Age at least 18 years
- Received some portion of their care from a medical oncologist with the Duke University Health System between June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2012
- At least one diagnosis of melanoma: International Classification of Disease, 9th Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code 172.x (malignant melanoma of the skin)
- At least one diagnosis of Stage IIIC or Stage IV melanoma between January 1, 2010 and June 1, 2012 (Index Date) as indicated by TNM stage classification and confirmed in the electronic medical record. The end date assumes initiation of data collection no earlier than January 1,2010, and guarantees a minimum of 6 months follow-up within the medical record for all patients.
- 6 months of follow up within the Duke system following Stage IIIC-IV diagnosis
- Subjects who have died or are lost to follow up within the 6-month follow up period will be included in the study. (Subjects will be considered censored if not progressed.)
Exclusion criteria:
- A primary malignancy other than melanoma during the 6 months prior to the index date or during course of care
- Subjects who are pregnant during baseline or follow-up periods
