About this study

Official title: Dermoscopic Findings of Small Plaque Parapsoriasis and Patch Stage Mycosis Fungoides, Histopathological Correlation With the Dermoscopic Findings and Diagnostic Accuracy of Dermatologists Using Dermoscopic Findings

Dermoscopic findings of small plaque parapsoriasis and patch stage mycosis fungoides (MF),histopathological correlation of the dermoscopic findings, and using these findings to differentiate two diseases by demonstrating the difference in diagnostic success of dermatologists

Read the detailed description

Limited number of studies have been conducted on the dermoscopic findings of mycosis fungoides (MF) and small plaque parapsoriasis for the differentiation of these two diseases. Therefore, prospective studies involving a large number of patients and which can reach high magnification levels with videodermoscopy are needed to determine the criteria for discrimination. In our study, dermoscopic demonstration of vascularity will be achieved through videodermoscopy and capillaroscopy from the lesional skin, resulting in high magnification levels (x200).

In terms of histopathology and dermoscopy correlation, skin punch biopsy will be taken for diagnostic purposes. Videodermoscopy and lesional capillaroscopy will be performed to the same site of the lesion where punch biopsy will be taken. As a result patients who had the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides or parapsoriasis will be included to our study. After histopathological features are evaluated by pathologists, dermoscopic correlations will be examined for each lesion.

30 patients with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of mycosis fungoides, and 30 patients with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of small plaque parapsoriasis, who applied to the dermatology clinic of our hospital between february 2022 and june 2022 are included in the study. Patients did not use systemic treatment for 4 weeks and topical treatments in the last 2 weeks were included to the study.

Patient's demographical data, clinical data, videodermoscopy findings such as vascular structure (vascularity (shape, clustered, uniform, non-clustered) presence of scale ( diffuse or in patches or grooves, etc.), orange structural areas or specific clues will be evaluated. If vascularity is detected at x200 magnification in patients undergoing lesional capillaroscopy, characterization of vascularity (point, clustered, uniform, etc.) will be made.

After dermoscopic criteria are determined, the individuals whose dermatology education range from 1 to 15 years will be randomized and divided into two groups, and the correct diagnosis rates will be measured, with one group only clinical and the other group clinical and dermoscopy images together.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Mycosis fungoides groupPatients who routinely have punch skin biopsy for diagnostic purposes and who were both clinically and histopathologically diagnosed with mycosis fungoides will be included. Patients who only have mycosis fungoides patch lesion on their body, over the age of 18, and who have not received topical treatment for the last 2 weeks or systemic therapy for 4 weeks will be included. Demographic, clinical, videodermoscopy, capillaroscopy (lesional) and histopathological data will be recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mycosis Fungoides of Skin, run by Istanbul Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 30 Jun 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Correlation between videodermoscopy/capillaroscopy findings and histopathological findings of mycosis fungoides and parapsoriasis patients (time frame: 1 day (cross-sectional)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05433727, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 30 Jun 2022.
