About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Ability of an iPad Based Photographic Image Analysis System to Discriminate Benign Skin Lesions From Those Considered Suspect for Melanoma

To evaluate an iPad based photoimage analysis system (Moletest) for improving discrimination of benign from malignant suspicious skin lesions or moles. Specifically the objective is to demonstrate that the Moletest system is able with a sufficient degree of confidence (95%) to identify lesions which are benign

Conditions
Melanoma
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical accuracy of Moletest application, the combined measured attributes of a suspect legion compared to the outcome of a biopsy performed on the legion

    The image and analysis by the application are performed within 10 minutes of the patient giving consent to be part of this study. The biopsy that will be used for comarison with the image analysis will be available to the Investigators approximatly 6 weeks later

    Measured: 6 weeks turnaround for each sample

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma, run by Moletest Scotland Ltd at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 Dec 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 Kingdom. 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?

Clinical accuracy of Moletest application, the combined measured attributes of a suspect legion compared to the outcome of a biopsy performed on the legion (time frame: 6 weeks turnaround for each sample). 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 4 Dec 2017.
