DermaSensor device study for suspicious skin spots
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing a handheld device that scans skin lesions to help detect melanoma. If you have a spot that your doctor thinks could be melanoma, this study will see how well the device works compared to standard checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You have a skin spot that your doctor thinks might be melanoma.
- The spot can be reached by a small handheld scanner (not inside ears, under nails, or on the soles of your feet).
- The spot is not on or near scars, cuts, or areas that have been biopsied before.
- The spot is 2.5mm to 15mm across (about the size of a pencil eraser).

This study tests a device that takes a close-up picture of a suspicious mole to estimate how deep the melanoma is before surgery. This might help doctors plan surgery more accurately.
This study tests a new device called LumAssure that scans skin to help doctors look at skin conditions. It aims to see if the device works well for people with different skin issues.
This study tests a device that uses a special light to image skin lesions after applying an FDA-approved cream. It aims to see if the device can help doctors see benign skin growths more clearly before they are removed.
This trial tests a device placed on skin cancer lesions to see which drugs might work best. It is for people with visible squamous cell carcinoma on the skin, including lesions that have come back after radiation.
This study looks at different types of pigmented skin spots using a special camera (dermoscopy) and lab tests. It aims to help doctors better tell harmless spots from serious ones, like melanoma.
This study tests a device called Nevisense that helps doctors check if a suspicious skin spot is a type of skin cancer called keratinocyte cancer (including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and related conditions like actinic keratosis). If you have a spot that your doctor is unsure about, this tool may help get a clearer answer.
