About Us

Conquering melanoma and skin cancer through clinical trials

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials works with world-leading researchers to deliver clinical trials that improve melanoma and skin cancer outcomes. We are the only independent, not-for-profit, multi-site, collaborative clinical trials group focused on melanoma and skin cancer in Australia and New Zealand.

Our clinical trials portfolio covers the prevention, early detection and treatment of melanoma and skin cancer, including early to late phase clinical trials. Importantly, we also investigate rare forms of skin cancer such as Merkel cell carcinoma and melanoma of the eye.

We believe all Australians and New Zealanders should be able to access clinical trials, which is why we continue to work with our networks to open more trial sites in regional Australia and in New Zealand.

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials continues to be supported by the Australian Government via Cancer Australia, Monash University, and the generosity of our industry partners and donors.

Our academic affiliation with Monash University and its Melanoma and Skin Cancer Research Centre within the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, enhances our research activities. As one of Australia’s top universities, Monash University provides access to state-of-the-art facilities, leading academics, and excellent support services.
