About this study

The purpose of this proposed study is to assess effectiveness of MOHS micrographic surgery as a form of treatment for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in patients who are 10 years of age or younger through review of the patients at Mayo Clinic treated from 1988-2017, and to explore the challenges that providers face which may prevent them performing this potentially superior treatment. This study will provide a comparison of outcomes and recurrence rates in pediatric patients treated by MOHS versus traditional excision.

What participants receive

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

  • MOHS micrographic surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. Thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined microscopically until only cancer-free tissue remains.

  • Wide local excisionProcedure or surgery

    A surgical technique in which the skin cancer is excised along with 2-3 cm of clinically normal appearing surrounding tissue.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient developing recurrence of a biopsy-proven dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at one year.

    Developing an additional dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at any location, but particularly noting local recurrence (defined as being within or contiguous to the field of the previous excision.

    Measured: Recurrence will be assessed at 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. All cause mortality

    Death secondary to any cause

    Measured: All cause mortality will be assessed at 1 year, and then annually thereafter for up to 10 years. All patients will have at least one year of follow up.

  2. Mortality related to dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

    Death which is directly related to the dermatofibrosarcoma or complications related to it as judged by clinical investigators

    Measured: Mortality related to dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans will be assessed at 1 year, and then annually thereafter for up to 10 years. All patients will have at least one year of follow up.

  3. Morbidity secondary to surgical procedure

    Will be measured by the area of tissue removed and any functional or physical impairment which resulted from the surgical procedure such as limited range of motion, resulting reported pain, or any reported complications.

    Measured: Morbidity secondary to surgical procedure will be assessed at 1 year, and then annually thereafter for up to 10 years. All patients will have at least one year of follow up.

  4. Patient developing recurrence of a biopsy-proven dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at two years.

    Developing an additional dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at any location, but particularly noting local recurrence (defined as being within or contiguous to the field of the previous excision.

    Measured: Recurrence will be assessed at 2 years. (Not all patients will have a full two years of follow up)

  5. Patient developing recurrence of a biopsy-proven dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at five years.

    Developing an additional dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at any location, but particularly noting local recurrence (defined as being within or contiguous to the field of the previous excision.

    Measured: Recurrence will be assessed at 5 years. (Not all patients will have a full five years of follow up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MOHS micrographic surgery and Wide local excision in people with Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

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 5 Aug 2020. 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?

Patient developing recurrence of a biopsy-proven dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at one year. (time frame: Recurrence will be assessed at 1 year.). 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 5 Aug 2020.
