The VIDYA Study-designed to Determine if Patients With a History of Basal Cell Carcinoma Are More Inclined to Return for Follow-up if Their Risk of a Subsequent Basal Cell Carcinoma is Quantitated

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2021
This is an open‐label, single‐blind study to evaluate the effect of informing subjects of their individualized risk of a subsequent basal cell carcinoma on proportion of subjects who achieve compliance with requested follow‐up with a dermatology healthcare provider, defined as in‐person follow‐up within 365 days following diagnosis of initial basal cell carcinoma. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to "intervention" (knowledge of individualized risk) or "control" (lack of awareness of individualized risk). Investigators will be aware of the modelled risk of a subsequent basal cell carcinoma for all subjects, but only subjects randomized to the "intervention" arm will be informed of their modelled risk. All subjects will receive standard sun avoidance counseling and will be requested to follow‐up no later than 365 days from initial basal cell carcinoma diagnosis.
