| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To study the clinical efficacy of local treatment with monobenzone and imiquimod cream on cutaneous metastases in stage III-IV melanoma patients ;Secondary Objective: To study the induction of local tumor-specific immunity by MI treatment as measured by the accumulation of melanoma/melanocyte specific T-cells at the treatment site. In addition, potential systemic immunity will be measured in the peripheral blood. ;Primary end point(s): • To study the clinical efficacy of local treatment with monobenzone and imiquimod cream on cutaneous metastases in stage III-IV melanoma patients • To study the induction of local tumor-specific immunity by MI treatment as measured by the accumulation of melanoma/melanocyte specific T-cells at the treatment site.
