Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Basal Cell"

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) cream to cryotherapy, in treatment of patients with primary superficial basal cell carcinoma. Secondary objectives are to compare cosmetic outcome and tolerability (adverse events) in these patients, 3 months after treatment. In addition the recurrence rates in the two treatment groups will be compared up to five years after treatment.

The broad aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) for the closure of skin excisions. We will test the hypothesis that full thickness skin excisions treated with PTB can heal with less scarring than those treated with the conventional suture closure method.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether topical application of PEP005 is safe for the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma.

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of erlotinib and bevacizumab when given with cetuximab and how well giving erlotinib and cetuximab together with or without bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable kidney, colorectal, head and neck, pancreatic, or non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Cetuximab and bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib together with cetuximab and/or bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

Vismodegib (ERIVEDGE®) at the standard dose of 150 mg/day orally is indicated for the treatment of advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and is associated with many adverse effects. Cramps, alopecia, dysgeusia, weight loss and others observed in clinical practice, compromize compliance and often lead to treatment discontinuation. Currently, it is the only drug available in this indication. Our main objective is to assess the relationship between plasma concentrations of vismodegib, and the occurrence of adverse effects within 6 months of inclusion in the study.

Evaluation of the mechanism of Action of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in patients with locally advanced non-melanoma skin cancer.

This prospective, multicenter, study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX System in adults subjects with low-risk basal cell carcinoma (superficial and nodular) for complete histological clearance of the target lesion followed by surgical tumor excision 60 days post-treatment.

One hundred patients will receive IFx-Hu2.0 on an outpatient basis at a single time point in a single lesion. These patients will be assessed for any immediate adverse reactions and at Week 4 (Day 28+/-5 days) for any delayed adverse events..

Laser treatment of Basal cell carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pdt in treatment of bcc and factors that affect response rate.
