Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.
Eligibility Criteria
- 1. Men or women of any ethnic group aged 40 and older
- 2. Primary skin lesion suspicious for melanoma
- 3. Patient is willing and able to read, understand, and sign the informed consent form (ICF)
- 1. Lesion is not accessible to the DermaSensor device Handheld Unit and tip (e.g., inside ears, under nails, etc.)
- 2. Lesion is on areas of psoriasis, eczema, acne, or similar inflammatory skin conditions that may impede appropriate DermaSensor device tip placement on the lesion.
- 3. Lesion is greater than 15mm in diameter at the widest point.
- 4. Lesion has a targeted area less than 2.5mm in diameter where the DermaSensor device tip cannot be placed entirely within the border of the targeted area of the lesion.
- 5. Lesion has no contiguous area of at least 2.5mm due to ulceration, erosion or liquid discharge (e.g., blood).
- 6. Lesion is covered by a crust or scale, and lesion surface cannot be cleared of crust or scale such that there is a contiguous area of at least 2.5mm of cleared intact skin that is free of any crust, ulceration, erosion or liquid discharge (e.g., blood).
- 7. Lesion is obstructed by foreign matter that cannot be non-invasively removed (e.g., tattoo, splinter, etc.)
- 8. Lesion is not completely cleared of (i.e., free of any remaining residue) dermoscopy oils, makeup, sunscreen, other topical solutions or powders, markings, and staining treatments (e.g., iodine).
