Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Before randomisation, all potential participants undergo an active run-in phase.
In the active run-in phase participants will be asked to:
• complete an online Baseline Questionnaire measuring demographics, knowledge, attitudes and confidence on self-examination and smartphone applications, and their baseline level of fear of new or recurrent melanoma (using a melanoma specific version of the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Index)
• log-in to the web-based ASICA skin checker platform, view instructional videos, and undertake guided total skin self-examination and electronic reporting of their findings
• upload a macroscopic digital photo, using their smartphone, of a predetermined target lesion and a photo of their back (to document sun damage) to the study’s web-based platform (in REDCap).
The active run-in phase will occur approximately one week prior to randomisation and participants who successfully complete all activities will continue in the trial.

Intervention details
The intervention arm will receive the intervention (patient-led surveillance) as an adjunct to usual care (clinician-led surveillance) for 12 months from the date of randomisation.
They receive clinician-led surveillance:
• An educational booklet ‘Your guide to early melanoma’ (freely available at https://www.melanoma.org.au/melanoma/assets/File/Stage%20I%20and%20II%20(Early%20Stage)%20Melanoma%20Information%20Packs_FINAL.pdf)
• Routinely scheduled visits as per treating clinician.
• Unscheduled (short notice) visits as needed through usual referral pathways (e.g. local general practitioner).
In addition, they receive patient-led surveillance:
• Continued access to web-based ASICA skin checker instructional videos as described in Murchie P, Allan JL, Brant W, et al: Total skin self-examination at home for people treated for cutaneous melanoma: development and pilot of a digital intervention. BMJ Open 5:e007993, 2015.
• A mobile dermatoscope to attach to their phone, with random allocation to either low cost (non-polarised light source) or higher cost device (polarised light source). Detailed written and video instructions on how to use the dermatoscope and accompanying smartphone app (readily available to anyone who purchases the device – i.e. not study specific).
• One-to-one training for the participant and their partner on how to use the dermatoscope and accompanying app, delivered by web conferencing. The frequency and duration of training will be tailored to the participants needs and preferences
• Email or SMS text (dependent on participant preference) reminders every 3 months to perform skin self-examination.
• Teledermatology:
Participants take dermoscopic images of a “target” lesion determined by their treating clinician and up to 8 additional lesions of concern.
These images are submitted through the dermatoscope smartphone app and transmitted to one of the study teledermatologists who will undertake review within 3 working days.
The results are reported to the participant and study personnel.
• A fast-tracked unscheduled clinic visit is facilitated by study staff if recommended by the teledermatologist.

Adherence will be measured through self-report in questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months and through the submission of a minimum of one and a maximum of eight images at the end of each three-month cycle.

In addition, a nested qualitative study will be conducted to understand patients’ and clinicians’ acceptability and satisfaction with the intervention and explore components which may need to be changed for implementation into routine clinical practice. A sub-set of participants from both study arms and all clinicians of intervention arm patients will be approached and invited to take part in semi structured telephone interviews. Up to 45 semi-structured interviews will be held with patients, and up to 10 semi-structured interviews will be held with clinicians. We will invite participants who indicated their interest in taking part in the interviews. We will use purposive sampling of participants who opt-in to this additional interview component to maximise diversity of experience. We anticipate recruiting 30-45 participants for the nested qualitative study, a sample size commonly sufficient to reach saturation in themes and topics.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Diagnosis
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be randomly assigned to either control or intervention arms with a 1:1 allocation using the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre’s Interactive voice response system (IVRS) ensuring allocation concealment.
Within the intervention arm, participants will be randomised 1:1 into two arms for the two models of mobile dermatoscope (low cost vs higher cost). The ratio will be adapted depending on adherence with submission of images that are of sufficient quality for teledermatology reporting.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Consenting patients who meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria and complete the active run-in phase will be randomised by minimisation to the intervention or control group ensuring balance of prognostic factors. The prognostic factors that will be used for minimisation are:
• Site ID (two sites = (1) Melanoma Institute Australia / Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and (2) Newcastle Skin Check)
• Patient date of birth (age groups = 18–39, 40–70, 71+)
• Gender (Male, female, other)
• Melanoma Stage (Stage 0, IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIC)
• New primary melanoma risk score (1-year absolute risk score - High, medium, or low risk in line with the Cust MIA tool) as described in Cust AE, Badcock C, Smith J, et al: A risk prediction model for the development of subsequent primary melanoma in a population-based cohort. British Journal of Dermatology 182:1148-1157, 2020

Sample size
Assuming that 1% of patients in the clinician-led surveillance group have a new primary or recurrent melanoma diagnosed through an unscheduled visit at the treatment centre, we will need to recruit at least 452 participants (226 to patient-led surveillance and 226 to clinician-led surveillance) in order to have at least 80% power to detect a 5% increase in the patient-led surveillance group (i.e. 6% have new or recurrent melanoma diagnosed through unscheduled visit at treatment centre). Assuming up to 25% of study participants drop out (withdraw consent or move interstate) we will recruit 600 participants (300 to patient-led surveillance and 300 to clinician-led surveillance). These calculations assume a two-sided 5% significance level and were done using Fishers exact test. This sample size will also ensure at least 80% power to detect a hazard ratio of 1.71 for time from randomisation to diagnosis of any skin cancer for the patient-led vs clinician-led surveillance groups (due to earlier and increased detection in the patient-led group). This calculation assumes a 20% event rate in the clinician-led surveillance group, 60 events among 300 control participants) a 32% event rate in the patient-led surveillance group (96 events among 300 intervention participants), and 26% event rate overall (115 events among 600 trial participants).

Primary outcome
We will use generalised linear models to investigate the difference between patient-led and clinician-led surveillance on the proportion of participants with a new primary or recurrent melanoma diagnosed through an unscheduled visit at the treatment centre. We will present the proportion of participants with the primary outcome in each randomised group, and the between group difference in proportions, along with the p-value and 95% CI. Unadjusted and adjusted analyses will also be presented. For the latter, we will include baseline measurements of important prognostic variables as covariates in the model. These will include: age, sex, site ID, melanoma substage, new primary melanoma risk score and dysplastic nevus syndrome. We will check the appropriate assumptions for of the model and for any covariate modelled as a continuous variable. The adjusted and unadjusted analysis will be presented as an odds ratio along with the 95% confidence interval and p-value.


Secondary outcomes
We will assess the effect of patient-led and clinician-led surveillance on the secondary outcome of time to diagnosis of any skin cancer (melanoma or NMSC), using Cox proportional hazards model. We will present unadjusted and adjusted analyses. For the latter, we will include the same covariates as for the primary outcome (important prognostic variables for event). We will check the proportional hazards assumption using visual inspection of plots (including Schoenfeld residuals) and corresponding test statistics. Other assumptions to be checked include if there is non-informative censoring and a secular trend. Participants who withdrawal will continue to be followed up unless they have withdrawn their consent or moved interstate. In the case that they have withdrawn their consent or moved interstate, the participants will be censored at last available follow-up. The unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios with 95% confidence interval and p-values will be reported. If the assumptions including the proportional hazards assumptions are violated, these will be addressed as required. The time to diagnosis will also be analysed allowing for competing risk of death.

The appropriate generalised linear model will be used to assess the remaining secondary outcomes. In general, Poisson regression will be used for count variables, logistic regression for any proportions and multiple linear regression for any continuous variable. We will assess effects on continuous outcomes (adherence with SSE; thoroughness, confidence, beliefs, attitude and knowledge of SSE; level of fear of new or recurrent melanoma severity, general anxiety, stress and depression and acceptability of reducing the frequency of scheduled clinic visits) by including baseline measurement of the outcome as well as other relevant prognostic variables as covariates in the multiple linear regression model. For example, for the outcome: level of fear of new or recurrent melanoma severity, we will include baseline measurement of FCRI severity subscale, and personal history of depression or anxiety as covariates. We will estimate the between group difference in change from baseline for each outcome, together with 95% CI and p-values. We will check the appropriate model assumptions and if any are violated, then we will use other generalised linear models.

Summary
Brief summary
This study tests patient-led surveillance which is a new way of following up people who have had an early melanoma (in situ melanoma or stage I or II invasive melanoma). Patient-led surveillance combines skin self-examination and teledermatology, which involves taking pictures of skin lesions on your body with a device attached to your smartphone and uploading these images for a dermatologist to review remotely. This study will investigate if this type of follow-up can diagnose new or recurrent melanoma earlier than if regular clinic visits with the patient’s doctor is used alone.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are 18+ years old, have previously had surgery to remove a melanoma in-situ or early invasive melanoma (stage I or II), own a smartphone, are being followed up at a recruiting dermatology clinic, skin cancer specialist clinic or general practice clinic, and have a suitable study partner (spouse, partner, family member, friend) to help with skin self-examination.

Study details
Participants will be screened via questionnaire, asked to view videos on skin self-examination and to upload test photos via the secure web-based platform. On satisfactory completion of these tasks they will be randomly allocated to either a patient-led surveillance or clinician-led surveillance arm.
Clinician-led surveillance: Educational booklet, regular scheduled appointments with treating clinician, access to unscheduled appointments as required.
Patient-led surveillance: All components of clinician-led surveillance as well as a mobile dermatoscope and smartphone app for taking detailed photos of skin lesions, training in skin self-examination and in using the dermatoscope, and access to timely remote dermatology review of any concerning lesions.
Participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires and patient diaries. Their clinical data and any relevant diagnoses will also be collected.

Information from this study will allow investigators to document the efficacy of patient-led surveillance in terms of melanoma diagnoses and resource use.
