What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at 200 people with suspicious moles that are already scheduled for removal. Researchers will use a special microscope (reflectance confocal microscopy) to take detailed images of the moles and then compare those images with genetic tests from the removed tissue. The goal is to find patterns that help tell harmless moles from early melanomas, which could lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, non-invasive tools for spotting early melanoma and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly change patient care, and results might not apply to all skin types or settings.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Approximately 200 melanocytic lesions from adult patients (age ≥18 years) scheduled for surgical excision due to dermoscopic suspicion of atypical nevus or early-stage melanoma will be included. Patients of all genders are eligible. Lesions will be evaluated using routine clinical assessment, dermoscopy, and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM). Histopathological evaluation will be performed on all excised lesions. Molecular analysis via Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) will be performed on lesions with available tissue, and not all lesions may undergo NGS. Participants are recruited consecutively at the Videomicroscopy and Confocal Clinic, Dermatology Department, University Hospital of Modena.

Ages

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Presence of cutaneous lesions with dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy suspicion of melanocytic neoplasia, already scheduled for surgical excision * Written informed consent obtained Exclusion Criteria: * Age \< 18 years * Lesions not scheduled for excision or with uncertain dermoscopic diagnosis * Lack of informed consent
