About this study

Official title: An International, Multicenter, Prospective, Non-controlled, Non-randomised, Clinical Study to Collect Impedance Data of Potentially Malignant Pigmented Nevi and Histological Diagnoses

This is an international, multicenter, prospective, non controlled, non randomized, clinical study to collect electrical impedance data of potentially malignant pigmented nevi and histological diagnoses (International Melanoma Algorithm Training Study [IMATS]). The study objective is to collect data for training and optimization of an algorithm that can classify skin lesions using electrical impedance, i.e., to identify malignant melanomas.

Being tested
SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer
Medical subject headings
Melanoma

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SciBase III Electrical Impedance SpectrometerDevice

    Following enrollment, patients will undergo measurements with SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer. Electrical impedance of the skin will be measured with a microinvasive spiked probe.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Outcome measure not applicable. This is an algorithm training study.

    Measured: Q1 2010

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer in people with Malignant Melanoma, run by SciBase AB at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Outcome measure not applicable. This is an algorithm training study. (time frame: Q1 2010). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2010.
