Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To evaluate the rate of complications, defined as grade =3 adverse events [according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events of the National Cancer Institute (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0], of surgical excision margins compared to Electrochemotherapy in patients with cutaneous melanoma after the primary tumor excission.;Secondary Objective: To compare the two arm in terms of: • Quality of life [(European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30; EuroQol five-dimensional(EQ-5D-5L) and Derriford Appearance Scale (DAS 24) questionnaires] • Costs • Pain Assessment [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)] • Local recurrence rate (defined as the combination of local recurrence, in transit recurrence and regional node metastasis) • Disease-free survival;Primary end point(s): • To evaluate the rate of complications, defined as grade =3 adverse events [according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events of the National Cancer Institute (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0], of surgical excision margins compared to Electrochemotherapy in patients with cutaneous melanoma after the primary tumor excission.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1 Quality of life [(European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30; EuroQol five-dimensional(EQ-5D-5L) and Derriford Appearance Scale (DAS 24) questionnaires] 2 Costs 3 Pain Assessment [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)] 4 Local recurrence rate (defined as the combination of local recurrence, in transit recurrence and regional node metastasis) 5 Disease-free survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 -Questionnaires must be compiled by the patients before any study procedure but within 30 days prior to randomization (Visit 1, baseline) and at pre -treatment visit (Visit 2, Day -1), at wound evaluation visits (Visit 4, Day 1 and Visit 5, Day 15) and at follow-up visit (Visit 6, non more than 30 calendars days after treatment) in both treatment arms. 3 -Questionnaires must be compiled by the patients before any study procedure but within 30 days prior to randomization (Visit 1, baseline) and at pre -treatment visit (Visit 2, Day -1), treatment visit (visit 3, Day0) at wound evaluation visits (Visit 4, Day 1 and Visit 5, Day 15) and at follow-up visit (Visit 6, non more than 30 calendars days after treatment) in both treatment arms. 4 -after 1 month
