Overview

This study is a prospective observational study evaluating the natural history of coronary plaque burden in participants with melanoma treated with ICI. The study will be conducted at various sites across Australia.

Inclusion Criteria: * Capable of providing informed consent and willing to adhere to all protocol requirements * patients aged \> or equal to 40 years * Histologically confirmed melanoma of any stage planned for, commenced, or completed treatment with ICI * having acceptable imaging quality deemed by the core laboratory * Investigator believes that the participant is willing to adhere to all protocol requirements, including returning for follow up CTCA.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

To determine the natural history of the burden and composition of coronary atherosclerosis in individuals with melanoma treated with ICIs.

The change in non-calcified coronary plaque volume will be measured on serial computed tomography coronary angiography scans.

Time frame: 18 months

Secondary Outcomes

To determine the prevalence of CV risk factors in individuals with melanoma treated with ICIs.

Time frame: 18 months

To determine the relationship between statin use and the burden, composition and progression of coronary atherosclerosis in individuals with melanoma treated with ICIs.

The change in non-calcified coronary plaque volume as measured on serial computed tomography coronary angiography scans will be compared between patients treated with statins and patients not treated with statins in the study.

Time frame: 18 months

To examine the impact of using CTCA to guide preventative therapy with statins in patients with melanoma treated with ICIs.

The number of patients who were started on statin therapy by their treating clinicians after undergoing computed tomography coronary angiography in the study will be recorded.

Time frame: 18 months

To evaluate the impact of participation in a cardio-oncology trial on measures of quality of life in patients with melanoma treated with ICIs.

Quality of life will be assessed by using the PHQ-9, GAD-7, EORTC QLQ-C30, EuroQOL EQ-5D, and FACT-M questionnaires at baseline and at 18 month follow up. The change in quality of life scores on each questionnaire will be compared with historical cohorts that have previously been reported in the literature.

Time frame: 18 months

To determine the incidence of major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in patients with melanoma treated with ICIs.
