Ongoing and recently completed research regarding the use of AI-based technology in NMSC diagnosis. Information was obtained from clinicaltrials.gov.
| Study Name | Study Goal | Patient Population | Design | Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness of an Image Analyzing Algorithm (DERM) to Diagnose Non-melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) and Benign Skin Lesions Compared to Gold Standard Clinical and Histological Diagnosis | To establish how well the device DERM (Deep Ensemble for the Recognition of Malignancy, an AI-based diagnosis support tool) determines the presence of non-melanoma skin cancer in images of skin lesions collected in a clinical setting. | Patients attending a dermatology clinic with at least one suspicious skin lesion. | Prospective cohort study (actual enrollment: 572 participants) | NCT04116983 |
| Impact of an Artificial Intelligence Platform (DERM) on the Healthcare Resource Utilization (HRU) Needed to Diagnose Skin Cancer When Used as Part of a United Kingdom-based Teledermatology Service | To establish whether the use of DERM (Deep Ensemble for the Recognition of Malignancy) in the patient pathway could reduce the number of unnecessary referrals for dermatologist review and/or biopsy. | Adult patients undergoing medical photography for imaging of at least one suspicious skin lesion. | Prospective cohort study (actual enrollment: 700 participants) | NCT04123678 |
| Teledermoscopy and Artificial Intelligence: Effects of Implementation in Clinical Practice | To investigate the effects of utilizing teledermoscopy in clinical practice, including changes in referral patterns and effects on diagnostic accuracy. It will also investigate how to introduce AI within teledermoscopy. | Patients aged 15 years or older with a skin lesion that is assessed by a physician who are subsequently referred for teledermoscopy. | Prospective cohort study (estimated enrollment: 8000 participants) | NCT05033678 |
