Trial summary

Skin cancer screening may help find melanoma sooner, when it may be easier to treat. If found early melanoma and other types of skin cancer may be curable. Multi-component education may be an effective method to help primary care physicians (PCPs) learn about skin cancer screening. Read more about this study

About this study

Skin cancer screening may help find melanoma sooner, when it may be easier to treat. If found early melanoma and other types of skin cancer may be curable. Multi-component education may be an effective method to help primary care physicians (PCPs) learn about skin cancer screening. This clinical trial examines whether a clinician-focused educational intervention can improve PCP's knowledge and clinical performance to identify and triage skin cancer. This intervention may increase the PCP's ability to diagnose, treat and/or triage early-stage melanoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Evaluate whether a multi-component education strategy improves the ability of PCPs to identify and triage skin cancer.

OUTLINE:

Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

PCP participants complete group training. All training participants will also be offered series of short booster teaching points delivered virtually. Participants who complete the training also take part in pre-post knowledge assessments. PCP participants may also participate in a qualitative interview.

PCPs at the two clinics who do not receive the group training will serve as study comparators.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Clinician Knowledge in Melanoma Risk and Lesion Identification

    KnChange in melanoma risk, knowledge based upon survey questions prior to training and post-training. Content covered melanoma risk, knowledge of electronic health record tools specific to the training and lesion identification and biopsy procedure knowledge. A total score of correct responses for the 27 items was generated and transformed to represent the percent of correct items with zero being no correct items and 100% being all items correct. A change score from pre-training to post-training was generated where a positive change score represented the gain in knowledge in percent points and a negative change score representing a lower percent of correct responses from pre-training to post-training.

    Measured: Immediately before and after the training session

  2. Dermatology Referral

    Mean percent of dermatology referrals per 1000 patients

    Measured: minimum of 3 months and up to 1 year of EHR data for each clinician prior to the start of the training and the same months in the year post-training.

  3. Use of Dermatology E-consults

    number of dermatology e-consults

    Measured: minimum of 3 months and up to 1 year of EHR data for each clinician prior to the start of the training and the same months in the year post-training.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Training and Education in people with Cutaneous Melanoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Dec 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Clinician Knowledge in Melanoma Risk and Lesion Identification (time frame: Immediately before and after the training session). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Dec 2025.
