About this study

Official title: An Open, 5-year Registry Study to Track Clinical Application of DecisionDx-Melanoma Gene Expression Profile Assay Results and Associated Patient Outcomes

The EXPAND Registry Study follows patients with cutaneous melanoma who have had the DecisionDx-Melanoma gene expression assay performed as part of their clinical care. Data will be collected through review of medical records from clinical visits with physician.

The purpose is to document the clinical application of results obtained from the DecisionDx- Melanoma multi-gene assay and to track outcomes of patients for whom DecisionDx-Melanoma testing has been completed. Additionally the study will assess the health economic impact of DecisionDx-Melanoma testing as it relates to the Melanoma population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted surveillance regimen

    • Relaxed surveillance for the low risk group;
    • Increased vigilance for early detection in the high risk group.

    Measured: upon receipt DecisionDX-Melanoma results received and every 6 months thereafter

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Referral for sentinel lymph node interrogation in the high risk group in thin melanomas.

    Measured: Upon receipt DecisionDx-Melanoma results

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cutaneous Melanoma, run by Castle Biosciences Incorporated at 4 sites 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study goals were met with smaller that expected study cohort. Last patient completed the study June 201). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Adjusted surveillance regimen (time frame: upon receipt DecisionDX-Melanoma results received and every 6 months thereafter). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02355587, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 8 Oct 2021.
