Melanoma Clinical Trial
At-Home Dermoscopy Artificial Intelligence
Summary
This clinical trial is to find out whether having access to an at-home smartphone dermatoscope (medical grade device) improves a patient's ability to find concerning moles themselves at-home with artificial intelligence unlimited mole scanning. Traditionally, patients were only able to identify moles that may be suspicious for cancer based off current ABCD guidelines, however these guidelines are still limited to what the patient can easily see with the naked-eye. Using the current ABCD guidelines, patients may still miss skin cancers that are still in its early stages. New devices may allow patients to look at their moles microscopically with their smartphones. The moles can then be scanned by artificial intelligence that will inform the patient whether or not the mole is suspicious. New technology development may help explore ways patients can use these new tools to be more involved in their skin health, especially for those in high-risk populations and limited access to see a dermatologist.
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. 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:
I. 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).
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
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 have access to a smartphone/tablet and be willing to set up virtual communication via direct message to a Study Site dermatology provider (i.e. MyChart in EPIC, direct message in ModMed EMA or other electronic medical record (EMR) type)
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.
Exclusion Criteria:
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
