Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Basal Cell"

This is a phase 2 trial assessing the efficacy of nivolumab, alone or in combination with relatlimab or ipilimumab in treating patients with locally-advanced unresectable or metastatic basal cell carcinoma.

The overall objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) using a new modality based on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). BCC is the most common type of skin cancer in Europe, Australia and the US. It accounts for more than 75% of all skin cancer cases in those regions. There are currently more the 14000 BCC cases registrations in Poland every year, and occurrences on a global scale are counted in several millions per year. Given the trend of aging population those numbers will only increase with time. Finding new and more effective treatment methods are therefore highly relevant from both a clinical and socioeconomic perspective. The investigational device used in the study is a system capable of making controlled and targeted thermo-mechanical treatment of small intradermal volumes containing e.g. BCC cells, but without inflicting damage to the surrounding tissue. The investigation involves an evaluation of the safety and efficacy profile 3 months after a single few-minute treatment. Subsequent follow-up of secondary endpoints is done every third month until the end of the study one year after the treatment.

Previous work suggests that topical treatment with 33% hydrogen peroxide can reduce lesion size and, in about half of patients, can cause complete pathologic response. For patients with reduction in lesions size, the required size of the surgical excision or radiation field will be similarly decreased, thus potentially limiting associated morbidity and better cosmetic outcomes. Additionally, patients that experience a complete pathological response will be able to avoid additional treatment with either surgery or radiation. This will benefit both patients as well as helping to decreased use of health care resources. For the current study we will be using 30% hydrogen peroxide as it is commercially available. If this study shows positive results, it could lead to significant benefit on both a patient and systems level. Locally, our cancer Centre treats approximately 700 new patients per year who fit into the study criteria and could potentially benefit from this novel neoadjuvant treatment that is fairly inexpensive.

Adult patients with locally advanced BCC, not amenable to surgical treatment and who obtained a complete response (CR) to Hedgehog inhibitors are administered a tailored schedule of the study drug. The tailored schedule consists of a change in the time of drug assumption. It implements some weeks of assumption and some weeks of suspension of sonidegib rather than a continuous administration.

This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate safety and tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early signal of anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Optical coherence tomography guided laser treatment of basal cell carcinoma

Phase II, open label, multicentric, proof-of-principle basket trial in patients with malignant tumors of the skin amenable to intratumoral injection, and in a curative or neoadjuvant or palliative intention.

The purpose of this study is to compare how well tolerated and effective four different dosing schedules (two personalized, intermittent dosing schedules as compared to a fixed intermittent and continuous dosing regimen) work in people with advanced basal cell carcinoma.

This is a 2-part, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, proof-of-concept study with a safety run-in designed to assess the safety, tolerability, MTD, and objective antitumor efficacy of ascending dose strengths of VP-315 when administered intratumorally to adults with biopsy proven basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The study is expected to enroll approximately 80 subjects with a histological diagnosis of BCC in at least 1 eligible target lesion (confirmed by punch or shave biopsy).

The purpose of this study is to find out if radiation therapy (RT) guided by the new reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM)/optimal coherence tomography (OCT) device is an effective treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The researchers will also look at the side effects from RT guided by the RCM/OCT device. In addition, will determine the quality of life before and after treatment by having the participant fill out questionnaires.
