Melanoma Surveillance Photography (MSP) to Improve Early Detection of Melanoma in Ultra-high and High Risk Patients

Sponsor: Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials Limited

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomised controlled trial will investigate the role of melanoma surveillance photography (MSP) in the surveillance of patients at high or ultra-high risk of melanoma. MSP is a comprehensive method of melanoma monitoring which includes total body photography and digital dermoscopy which is performed at prescribed intervals. The study will test whether participants under surveillance with MSP have less unnecessary biopsies (false positives) compared to those without MSP. Participants will be Australian residents with a new diagnosis of primary melanoma, who have multiple naevi and are at high or ultra-high risk of developing melanoma. Participants will be randomised 1:1 to either groups. It is hypothesised that those randomised to surveillance with MSP will have better patient outcomes. Improved diagnostic performance as measured by the number of unnecessary biopsies will be the primary outcome measure.
