NCT ID NCT05418959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a painless, sticker-like skin test in 100 children and teens with suspicious moles. The test looks for certain genetic markers (PRAME and LINC) to see if they match the results from a standard biopsy. The goal is to learn if this noninvasive method can help doctors decide which moles need closer monitoring or removal, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures.
