About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic and management concordance of face-to-face dermatologist versus a store-and-forward teledermatologist at a skin cancer screening event.

The investigators' hypotheses include the following:

  1. Compared to in-person assessment, store-and-forward teledermatology assessment will result in adequate diagnostic concordance.
  2. Compared to in-person assessment, store-and-forward teledermatology results in adequate management concordance.
  3. The sensitivity and specificity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant will be similar to that of in-person evaluation.

What participants receive

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

  • In-person dermatology evaluationOther

    Every patient will be evaluated by an in person dermatologist present at the screening.

  • Store-and-forward teledermatology evaluationOther

    Also called Health care modality

    Every patient will be evaluated online via a store and forward teledermatology modality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Aggregated diagnostic concordance

    Aggregated diagnostic concordance which is defined as the agreement of the in-person dermatologist's principle diagnosis with the teledermatologist's primary diagnosis or any of the differential diagnoses.

    Measured: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Primary diagnostic concordance

    Diagnostic concordance between the in-person dermatologist and the teledermatologist for their primary diagnosis.

    Measured: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

  2. Categorical diagnostic concordance

    Diagnostic concordance between the in-person dermatologist and teledermatologist based on standard clinical diagnostic categories for each lesion.

    Measured: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

  3. Management concordance

    The concordance between the in-person dermatologist and teledermatologist for the chosen management plan for each lesion.

    Measured: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

  4. Sensitivity

    The sensitivity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant.

    Measured: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

  5. Specificity

    The specificity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant.

    Measured: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing In-person dermatology evaluation and Store-and-forward teledermatology evaluation in people with Skin Cancer and Screening, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 19 Jul 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Aggregated diagnostic concordance (time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)). 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 19 Jul 2017.
