- Ages 21 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Participant or legally authorized representative (LAR) must provide written informed consent before any Study-specific procedures or interventions are performed.
- Age ≥ 21 years with at least one pigmented skin lesion (PSL)/mole on their body. All genders and members of all races and ethnic groups will be included.
- Participant self-identifies as having Fitzpatrick Skin Type 1 through 4.
- Participant must be a current or new patient through self-referral or Provider-referral at the participating Study Site.

- Participant must be English-speaking due to FDA Breakthrough Designation of the Sklip System in the English language. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate non-English speaking Participants.
- Participant must be "Healthy", which is defined as someone considered not urgently sick or hospitalized. This will be determined by the Study principle investigator (PI) at each Study Site, a licensed dermatologist, who will be responsible for screening Participants to ensure eligibility criteria is met prior to enrollment.
Who cannot join
- Participant who self-identifies having Fitzpatrick Skin Type 5 or 6.
- Participant who have had a skin check visit with a dermatology Provider within the last 90 days will be excluded to avoid self-selection bias, unless the Participant identifies a new unexamined (not previously documented) spot of concern.
- Vulnerable populations including children, prisoners, and decisional impaired adults as well as vision impaired adults will not be eligible for this Study.
- Pregnant individuals will be excluded in this Study. Since this is a minimal pregnancy risk category, no special precautions will be taken to determine that the patient is not pregnant

About this study
Official title: At-Home Dermoscopy Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Early Triage of Skin Cancers and Atypical Melanocytic Nevi With Uncertain Malignant Potential
This is a new protocol to analyze how the use of the Sklip System enables laypersons to safely triage self-selected pigmented skin lesions of concern (PSLCs) from home with the same or better accuracy than pre-specified performance goals for the detection of PSLCs that require biopsy (Melanoma and atypical melanocytic nevi with uncertain malignant, Squamous cell carcinoma, Basal cell carcinoma).
The study protocol will also compare the accuracy of the Sklip System when used by a layperson (Participant) versus near-perfect Sklip System user (Study Coordinator), assess whether Sklip System improves triage of PSLCs < 6 mm in diameter and triage of thin melanomas with <0.8 mm Breslow depth as suspicious, as compared to the current medical provider virtual triage method that relies on store-and-forward of smartphone clinical images (SCI), and assess accuracy of layperson-performed self-skin-exams (SSEs) at-home in the identification of all suspicious PSLCs present on their body as compared to the same layperson (Participant) evaluated with a full body skin examination (FBSE) by a dermatology Provider (DP) in-person.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- The Sklip System enables laypersons to safely triage self-selected pigmented skin lesions of concern (PSLCs) from home with the same or better accuracy than pre-specified performance goals* for detection of PSLCs that require biopsy and are malignant: Melanoma and atypical melanocytic nevi with uncertain malignant potential (moderate, severe, and high grade atypia; those with pathology reports that include notes such as: borderline, cannot exclude melanoma, cannot exclude early evolving melanoma, unusual features, atypical spitz nevi, suspicion for melanoma, re-excision (or further removal) should be considered or is recommended in the pathologist management comment) (≥95% sensitivity, ≥30% specificity), Squamous cell carcinoma (≥80% sensitivity, ≥30% specificity), Basal cell carcinoma (≥80% sensitivity, ≥30% specificity).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To compare the accuracy of Sklip System triage when used by a layperson versus near-perfect Sklip System user II. To assess whether Sklip System improves triage of pigmented skin lesions of concern < 6mm in diameter as suspicious as compared to the current medical provider virtual triage method that relies on store-and-forward non-medical-device assisted smartphone clinical images III. To assess whether Sklip System improves triage of thin melanomas with < 0.8 mm Breslow depth as suspicious as compared to the current medical provider virtual triage method that relies on store-and-forward non-medical-device assisted smartphone clinical images IV. To determine the accuracy of layperson-performed self-skin-exam(s) at-home in the identification of all suspicious pigmented skin lesions of concern present on their body as compared to the same layperson evaluated with full body skin examination by a dermatology Provider in-office
OUTLINE:
This is a single-arm prospective trial. Participants perform self-skin exams using naked-eye criteria and will take smartphone clinical images (SCI) of each PSL of concern (PSLC). Participants will also take digital dermoscopy images (DDIs) and apply the Sklip System to each PSLC of concern in up to 14 days. Within up to 28 days of completing the at-home exams, participants will undergo an in-office visit full body skin exam (FBSE).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Triage Accuracy of the Sklip System Using Participant At-home Digital Dermoscopy Image (DDI)
To analyze layperson Sklip System triage of self-selected pigmented skin lesions of concern (PSLCs) from home with the same or better accuracy than pre-specified performance goals for detection of PSLCs that require biopsy and are malignant: Melanoma and atypical melanocytic nevi with uncertain malignant potential (moderate, severe, and high grade atypia; those with pathology reports that include notes such as: borderline, cannot exclude melanoma, cannot exclude early evolving melanoma, unusual features, atypical spitz nevi, suspicion for melanoma, re-excision (or further removal) should be considered or is recommended in the pathologist management comment) (≥95% sensitivity, ≥30% specificity), Squamous cell carcinoma (≥80% sensitivity, ≥30% specificity), Basal cell carcinoma (≥80% sensitivity, ≥30% specificity). Two-sided 95% confidence intervals for all Sensitivities and Specificities will be calculated using the Exact (Clopper-Pearson) method.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Dermoscopy, Digital Photography and Self-Skin Examination in people with Malignant Skin Neoplasm, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute 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?
The sponsor lists 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Dec 2025. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Dec 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Triage Accuracy of the Sklip System Using Participant At-home Digital Dermoscopy Image (DDI) (time frame: From first day of enrollment to 42 days after first day of enrollment). 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 29 Dec 2025.
