Popis: To analyze the characteristics of clinical trials of mucosal melanoma (MM) based on WHO international clinical trial registration platform (ICTRP), in order to provide a reference for clinical translational research of mucosal melanoma.WHO ICTRP database were searched to collect MM-related clinical trials. Two reviewers independently screened items, extracted data, and descriptive analysis was performed for the included trials, including number of registrations, research phase, country/region, clinical study design, etc. RESULTS: The results showed that there were 51 registered clinical trials involving MM. European and American countries and East Asia were the main study sites, and head and neck MM were mainly investigated in East Asia (11/12). Forty-eight of them were sponsored by investigators, and only 3 were sponsored by biomedical companies. The main clinical trials were single center (42 items) and in stage II (38 items). Interventions were complex, and multiple treatments and drug therapy accounted a dominant position.In-depth analysis of clinical trials information can help to understand the current situation and development trends in the field of mucosal melanoma. The number of clinical studies of mucosal melanoma is relatively small and has not received much attention.
