Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials - MASC Trials

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials - MASC Trials Conquering melanoma and skin cancer through clinical trials We aim to make our clinical trials accessible to all Australians, no matter where they live.

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials (MASC Trials) specialises in investigator-initiated melanoma and skin cancer research. We work collaboratively with world-leading researchers to deliver clinical trials that improve melanoma and skin cancer outcomes. Since 1999, the high-quality evidence published from our trials has changed clinical practice to impact the lives of patients and improve how doctors prevent, diagnose and treat melanoma and skin cancer. Our network of over 2,250 healthcare professionals and consumers spans all Australian metropolitan cities and many regional towns, with trials currently running at 111 institutions around the world.

💙Consumer perspectives are an essential part of the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials Scientific Meeting.

As Alison Button-Sloan, Chair of the Consumer Advisory Panel, reflected following our 2024 meeting:

"Consumer presentations and sharing lived experiences bring a layer of authenticity to clinical trials, grounding research in the everyday realities faced by those directly impacted by melanoma and other skin cancers."

At the MASC Trials 2026 Scientific Meeting, lived experience will once again help inform discussions, inspire collaboration and keep research connected to the people it serves.

A great day at the PC4 2026 Scientific Symposium in Adelaide, connecting with colleagues and partners from across the cancer care and research community.

Thank you to Dr Janelle Jones, National Manager of PC4 (Primary Care Collaborative Cancer Clinical Trials Group) and host of the symposium, for bringing together such a diverse group of researchers, clinicians, consumers and sector leaders.

It was a pleasure also catch up with Susan Goode (TROG Cancer Research), and Jonathan Godin (Cancer Australia) and discuss the opportunities ahead for collaboration in comprehensive cancer care.

Looking forward to continuing these important conversations and partnerships that support better outcomes for patients and communities.

A milestone in melanoma research🎉

We're excited to share that The Alfred has enrolled the first participant in the BETTER trial.

Led by Dr Malaka Ameratunga and sponsored by Monash University, the BETTER trial is investigating a new treatment approach for people with melanoma that has spread to the brain.

Melanoma brain metastases can be particularly challenging to treat, and patients are often excluded from clinical trials. This study aims to improve treatment options and quality of life by combining immunotherapy with targeted radiotherapy.
A huge thank you to the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation and everyone who has supported the Mission Melanoma campaigns. Your fundraising efforts are helping make research like this possible.

Congratulations to the research team, clinicians, and supporters who have helped reach this important milestone.
