MELAFERT: Impact of Adjuvant Therapy on FERTility in Patients With Resected MELAnoma at High Risk of Relapse.

Melanoma survivorship in reproductive-age women is increasing due to the advent of effective therapies in the curative setting. However, while the impact on fertility and ovarian function of chemotherapy agents is well known, there is still a lack of consistent data regarding novel the Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP) kinase pathway inhibitors and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) used in melanoma. A recent study showed that a single course of anti-PD-1 (PD, Programmed cell death protein 1) or anti-CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4) reduced both the number and quality of oocytes in mice through an immune-mediated mechanism. In particular, primordial follicle damage cannot be restored, leading to relevant clinical implications. The study aims to help to determine the impact of MAP kinase pathway inhibitors and ICIs on reproductive outcomes, and whether clinicians should discuss (and in what terms) fertility preservation techniques in reproductive-age women receiving ICIs and MAP kinase pathway inhibitors in the adjuvant setting.
