About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study for Defining the Role of Optical Super-high Magnification Dermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Skin Tumors

This is a prospective study aimed at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy (compared to histopathological diagnosis) and clinical utility of optical super-high magnification dermoscopy (OSHMD) in detecting and differentiating skin tumors, including both benign and malignant lesions, particularly in nevi/melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, in patients with suspicious lesions at a magnification of 20x. Additionally, the characteristics of skin lesions will be analyzed using OSHMD, and their distribution in skin tumors will be assessed. The agreement between the examiners' evaluations and the concordance between dermoscopic diagnoses at 20x and 400x compared to histopathological diagnosis will also be examined. The hypothesis is that OSHMD could assist in identifying malignancy features, thus improving the diagnostic accuracy of skin tumors and potentially leading to earlier and more precise detection of neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of super-high magnification dermoscopy in the detection and differentiation of skin tumors

    Accuracy (sensibility and specificity) of dermoscopy 400x for detecting skin tumors (vs histopathological diagnosis)

    Measured: from the enrollment to the reaching of 1000 patients or up to 156 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Skin Cancers, run by IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of super-high magnification dermoscopy in the detection and differentiation of skin tumors (time frame: from the enrollment to the reaching of 1000 patients or up to 156 weeks). 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 3 Apr 2025.
