Melanoma Image Analysis Algorithm (MIAA) Validation Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Malignant Melanoma
Interventions
Device: Melanoma Image Analysis Algorithm (MIAA)
Registration Number
NCT02612168
Lead Sponsor
Skin Analytics Limited
Brief Summary

Prospective, single-arm, cross-sectional, study to establish the effectiveness of MIAA to detect melanoma in pigmented lesions, compared to gold standard histological determination.

Detailed Description

Skin Analytics Limited have developed an algorithm (MIAA) which reviews photographs of pigmented lesions to determine whether melanoma is likely to be present. This study aims to establish how well MIAA determines the presence or absence of melanoma, compared to a biopsy.

Pigmented lesions that a dermatologist has decided to biopsy, and are suitable for photographing, will be photographed up to five times in a single visit. Three different camera will be used, and two different dermoscopic lens attachments will be used on smartphone cameras. Images will be analysed by MIAA and the results compared to the biopsy result. Clinicians, patients and the statistical analysis team will be blinded to the result of MIAA.

At least 65 pigmented lesions positive for melanoma (as determined by biopsy) are required, which is predicted to mean 1250 patients will be recruited.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study,
  • Male or Female, aged 18 years or above,
  • Have at least 1 lesion suitable for photographing that is scheduled for biopsy to determine the presence of melanoma,
  • In the Investigators opinion, able and willing to comply with all study requirements.

All patientsMelanoma Image Analysis Algorithm (MIAA)Each patient will have any pigmented lesions (PLs) which are due to be biopsied, two PLs not due for biopsy and one patch of healthy skin photographed. Each will be photographed using three cameras: A standard DSLR and two smartphones with a dermoscopic lens attachment. Photographic images will be analysed by Melanoma Image Analysis Algorithm (MIAA)
