Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to evaluate the effect of immunomodulatory and anti-tumor effect of treatment with high doses of esomeprazole in patients with metastatic melanoma;Secondary Objective: not applicable;Primary end point(s): 1. Study of changes in the immune profile induced by treatment with PPI in the tumor-draining LN 2. Analysis of the effect of treatment with PPI systemic immunity 3. Analysis of the antitumor activity of PPI in metastatic LN;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. 1 month 2. 1,2 visit 3. 1 month

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Assessment of disease-free survival. 2. Anlisi out expression profiling of gene expression in LN obtained from patients treated with PPI vs control;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. every month 2. 1 month
