ctDNA Testing for Guiding Immunotherapy Treatment Discontinuation in Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This clinical trial studies how well circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing works in guiding immunotherapy treatment discontinuation in patients with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). DNA is the material in our bodies that carries instructions for cells. ctDNA is DNA that is not contained within a cell, but is instead circulating freely in the blood. This study is being performed to understand if ctDNA is another useful tool (in addition to scans) to help determine when immunotherapy can be safely discontinued.
