Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of this study will be to determine the percentage of patients with cells positive for any melanoma specific marker identified by flow cytometric analysis of LA product. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are the comparison of putative CMC counts as identified by flow cytometry and CellSearch in blood and LA product and mutation status of a mutation, present on primary- or metastatic tumor tissue, in different CMC subsets as identified by flow cytometry. | — |
