Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • 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.

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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
