About this trial

The TIME-NL trial is a multicenter, randomized, open-label clinical trial in the Netherlands to assess the effect of the timing of the first administration of standard-of-care intravenous combination immunotherapy (early morning versus afternoon) in patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to start standard-of-care ICI administration either before 10am (early morning arm; arm A) or after 1pm (afternoon arm; arm B). Patients will be stratified according to performance status and study center. The randomized clinical trial will be part of a hybrid design in which data from the randomized clinical trial will be combined with observational data.
