effectiveness of MelaFind® in a post-approval clinical setting.
effectiveness of MelaFind® in a post-approval clinical setting.
The primary objective of this study to test the hypothesis that, among eligible and
evaluable lesions with central histological reference standard status melanoma or high-grade
lesion, the relative sensitivity ρ comparing enrolling dermatologists after MelaFind use
with enrolling dermatologists if MelaFind were not available is greater than 110%. This
represents a clinically meaningful increase in sensitivity.
The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate real-world use and safety and
effectiveness of MelaFind in a clinical setting.
