About this study

An observational, non-interventional registry study to collect real-world data from people living with melanoma and its treatment, which will be available to researchers to further the knowledge of melanoma and improve patient care.

Read the detailed description

The registry uses Vitaccess' digital real-world evidence platform, and has been developed in collaboration with the patient advocacy group Melanoma UK.

Eligible participants install a study app on their smartphone or tablet. Researchers access aggregated, anonymised data via a cloud-based research portal. The platform provides benefits to participants, which it is hoped will encourage persistence with data submission; these include options to upload electronic documents such as scans, and access an online melanoma community.

The aggregated data are available in close to real time via "dashboards" and can be analysed according to a number of pre-set criteria (e.g. disease stage, age, geographic location).

State-of-the-art technologies and security policies are used in the platform to ensure industry-standard data storage and privacy for all users. Participants' personally identifiable information will remain confidential at all times, and researchers will not be able to identify individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma, run by Vitaccess 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 21 Mar 2023. 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?

Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL), general (time frame: Monthly throughout 4 year study duration). 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 21 Mar 2023.
