MoleMapper, Visiomed, and Confocal Microscopy in Screening Participants for Melanoma

Study Purpose

This trial studies how well MoleMapper, Visiomed, and confocal microscopy work in screening participants for melanoma. Analyzing images (photographs) made with three different portable imaging systems may be as good as a visit to a dermatologist's office for finding melanomas before they can spread.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Eligible Ages 18 Years - 80 Years
Gender All
More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Persons who participate in the free skin cancer screening at the PDX Skincare Festival at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in 2021/2022 (date pending) and are informed by a provider that they have a pigmented lesion for which a biopsy is recommended are potentially eligible to participate in this study.
  • - Persons who participate in the free skin cancer screening at the War on Skin Cancer event at OHSU in 2021/2022 (date pending) or other dates and locations and are informed by a provider that they have a clinically benign or atypical nevi are eligible to participate in the imaging portion of this study.
No biopsy will be offered to these participants.
  • - Persons age 18-80 are eligible for the study.
  • - Persons of any race are eligible but we anticipate that most participants will be Non-Hispanic whites due to the prevalence of melanoma and other skin cancers in this group.
  • - Only persons who can provide signed statement of informed consent will be enrolled.
  • - Persons who are identified in OHSU Dermatology clinics or through OHSU e-visit and e-consult platforms as having a skin lesion in need of a biopsy for skin cancer.
  • - Persons identified via the Melanoma Community Registry (MCR) (IRB approved: 00010561)

    Exclusion Criteria:

    - Allergy to the anesthetic (lidocaine).

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03699995
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  • I. To assess the clinical utility of clinical images, digital dermoscopy images and in-vivo confocal microscopy for teledermatology.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
  • I. To incorporate in vivo confocal images into the triage system in order to determine to what degree the information gathered in this modality changes the classification of a lesion assigned by a licensed dermatologist.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVE:
  • I. To assess the potential improvement of virtual patient triage when adding digital dermoscopy images to clinical images presented by patients to their provider (via e-visit or e-consult).
OUTLINE: Participants undergo imaging of suspicious moles via smartphone application (app) MoleMapper/Sklip app/native smartphone camera app, digital dermoscopy, and confocal microscopy. Participants then receive lidocaine subcutaneously (SC) and undergo shave or punch biopsy of suspected melanomas. After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up within 1 week.
