Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to understand the perspectives and needs of patients with genodermatoses and their partners who wish to have children, regarding their decision-making process and their consideration of reproductive options. Additionally, the investigators aim to investigate the level of knowledge and perspectives of healthcare professionals (such as clinical geneticists, dermatologists and other clinicians involved), and want to explore to what extent patients and their partners are well informed about these reproductive options. To achieve this, the investigators will conduct individual semi-structured qualitative interviews with participants affected by genodermatoses (and their partners) and with healthcare professionals.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the indications for prenatal diagnostics and preimplantation genetic testing for patients/couples affected by an inherited skin disease, and evaluate the clinical outcomes of these reproductive options. By providing a complete overview, the investigators aim to improve reproductive counselling for these patients/couples with a desire to have children. To achieve this, the investigators aim to retrospectively collect data from a cohort of patiens/couples affected by an inherited skin disease on a national level (in the Netherlands) and also an international level from various countries in Europe.
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. It focuses on Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) as precursors to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Despite the availability of oral screening, diagnostic delays persist, underscoring the importance of exploring non-invasive methodologies. The OCT technology provides cross-sectional analysis of biological tissues, enabling a detailed evaluation of ultrastructural oral mucosal features. The trial aims to compare OCT preliminary evaluation with traditional histology, considered the gold standard in oral lesion diagnosing. It seeks to create a database of pathological OCT data, facilitating the non invasive identification of carcinogenic processes. The goal is to develop a diagnostic algorithm based on OCT, enhancing its ability to detect characteristic patterns such as the keratinized layer, squamous epithelium, basement membrane, and lamina propria in oral tissues affected by OPMDs and OSCC. Furthermore, the trial aims to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in OCT image analysis. The use of machine learning algorithms could contribute to a faster and more accurate assessment of images, aiding in early diagnosis. The trial aims to standardize the comparison between in vivo OCT images and histological analysis, adopting a site-specific approach in biopsies to improve correspondence between data collected by both methods. In summary, the trial not only evaluates OCT as a diagnostic tool but also aims to integrate AI to develop a standardized approach that enhances the accuracy of oral cancer diagnosis, providing a significant contribution to clinical practice.
The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of bimiralisib gel treatment for treatment of actinic keratosis (AK) on the face and/or scalp and/or back of hands
This study is conducted in one center in Germany, in adult subjects having actinic keratoses (grade I or II) lesions on the scalp and meeting specific inclusion/exclusion criteria. The purpose of the study is to evaluate a holistic management (efficacy, tolerability and lesion cosmetic outcomes) of Tolak® treatment.
This study aims to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of ultrapulse carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser excision in the treatment of eyelid tumors, including xanthelasma, pigmented nevi, keratoses, and so on.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirbanibulin 10 milligrams per gram (mg/g) ointment when applied to a treatment field (TF) larger than 25 centimeter square (cm^2) and up to 100 cm^2 in adult participants with actinic keratosis (AK).
The objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SM-020 gel 1.0% in subjects with Seborrheic Keratosis (SK) compared to vehicle gel. It is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial. Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will apply their assigned investigational product twice daily for 4 consecutive weeks. Subjects will be followed for 12-weeks post final application for a total of approximately 16-weeks of required participation in the study.
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is the reference in vivo imaging technique for identifying malignant melanocytic tumors prior to surgical excision. However, it is not widely used due to its high cost and highly technical and time-consuming nature. In addition to RCM, we currently use 2 less expensive dermatoscopes that also allow in vivo diagnosis: super-high magnification dermoscopy (D400) and Fluorescence-Advanced videodermatoscopy (FAV).
This prospective study aims to evaluate the responsiveness of the validated investigator global assessment (IGA) and composite area index score for keratosis pilaris by data collection through treatment and scoring sessions held at a private practice and relevant statistical analysis.
