What participants receive

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

  • Digital dermoscopyDevice

    Acquire skin images with a new digital dermatoscope

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of the new device in its normal conditions of use

    The outcome will be measured by a questionnaire with performance-related questions for clinicians to answer about a set of images from the collected database. A Likert-based scale will be used for the answers: from highly agree to highly disagree.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Usability of the new device

    The outcome will be measured by a questionnaire with usability-related questions for clinicians.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Safety of the new device in its normal conditions of use

    The number of adverse events will be reported to assess safety of the device.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Develop a database of skin images with the new device with metadata and histopathology of excised lesions

    The outcome of the secondary objective will be an anonymized database of digital skin lesion images and corresponding metadata and a set of high quality images amenable to clinician evaluation.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Skin Cancer, run by Barco NV at 2 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 18 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

Performance of the new device in its normal conditions of use (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
