Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Basal Cell"

This phase II trial tests how well cemiplimab works in treating basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) before surgery (neoadjuvant). Cemiplimab is a human recombinant monoclonal IgG4 antibody that may allow the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. Giving cemiplimab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and make it easier to remove.

The objectives of the study are: To describe the effectiveness of cemiplimab 350 mg administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) for treatment of patients with advanced (defined as locally advanced or metastatic [nodal or distant]) cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and patients with advanced (defined as locally advanced or metastatic [nodal or distant]) basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in real-world clinical settings To evaluate the safety of cemiplimab based on incidence of treatment related immune-related adverse events (irAEs), infusion related reactions (IRRs), and treatment related serious adverse reactions (TSARs) in patients with advanced CSCC and patients with advanced BCC receiving cemiplimab treatment in real world clinical settings To describe patient experience, including patient reported quality of life (QOL) and functional status, and clinician reported performance status in a real-world setting for patients with advanced CSCC and patients with advanced BCC To describe baseline characteristics that could potentially be associated with health-related outcomes for patients with advanced CSCC and patients with advanced BCC undergoing treatment with cemiplimab To describe patients who receive cemiplimab as treatment for CSCC or BCC in a real-world setting To describe real-world use patterns of cemiplimab for CSCC and BCC To investigate the long-term effects and effectiveness of cemiplimab in patients with advanced CSCC or advanced BCC To describe the effectiveness of cemiplimab in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients with advanced CSCC or advanced BCC, regardless of etiology, per available data To describe the effectiveness of cemiplimab after prior exposure to radiation therapy for CSCC per available data To describe the effectiveness of cemiplimab as a first-line (1L) or later systemic treatment in patients with advanced CSCC, regardless of etiology, per available data To describe the effectiveness of cemiplimab in patients with advanced BCC based on treatment patterns (reason for discontinuation, treatment exposure, etc) of prior Hedgehog inhibitor (HHI) usage

The aim of this study is to show that the Nd:YAG laser could be a promising alternative treatment option in the management of low-risk basal cell carcinomas with similar high efficacy rates to surgery, and low recurrence rates evaluated over a time period of one year. Reflectance confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography and clinical examination are used prior to confirm the clinical diagnosis of the basal cell carcinoma and for premargination of the tumor. The optical coherence tomography will also be used post treatment to confirm clearance of the basal cell carcinoma and to monitor treatment response.

This is a pilot study to determine the usefulness of new brachytherapy device that utilizes active components (palladium-103) of standard devices in a novel configuration, which may benefit basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma patients by providing conformal radiation therapy to the surface of the skin.

The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.

This is an intent-to-treat, split-plot design, multicenter randomized trial and the primary intervention is a double-blind comparison of Imiquimod (IMQ) vs. placebo cream for preventing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin on the face at one year and over 3 years after therapy. Participants will apply the IMQ or placebo cream to the face daily at bedtime for 12 weeks. This study will recruit 1630 Veterans at high risk of BCC from 17 VA medical centers.

The aim of this clinical study is to find out how well Patidegib Gel 2% works in preventing new basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) developing on the face of adults with Gorlin syndrome, and how safe Patidegib Gel 2% is to use. Participants will apply either Patidegib Gel 2% or a Vehicle Gel (with no active drug substance) to their face twice a day for a year (12 months). The number of new BCCs on the face will be compared between participants who used Patidegib Gel 2% or Vehicle Gel after 12 months.

Rationale: Keratinocyte skin cancer is known to influence the HRQoL in a specific way. Derived utility values are required for cost-effectiveness analyses of new interventions. However there is no sensitive tool to capture HRQoL that translates into utilities available. Objective: To document the exact HRQoL in patients with in KC using the generic EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, as well as the TTO, 15D and the BaSQoL questionnaire, and to develop health utilities based on these tools. Study design: Longitudinal observational study (at time 0 and time 0 +12 months). Study population: Patients aged ≥18 years consulting a dermatologist or their GP for diagnosis, treatment or follow-up of a (pre)malignant skin lesion(s).

The primary objective is to confirm the safety of treating multiple BCCs once weekly x 3 weeks in individuals with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (BCNS). The secondary objectives of the study are to obtain preliminary data on the effectiveness of ASN-002 in the treatment of BCCs in individuals with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (BCNS) by evaluating the histological clearance of BCCs in patients with BCNS, and assessing the clinical changes of BCCs after treatment with ASN-002, and assessing the systemic effect of ASN-002 by determining response in non-injected lesions assess the safety and clinical changes after a second cycle of ASN-002 injections

The trial is a single-center, non-randomized feasibility study aiming to evaluate the feasibility of ex-vivo tissue analysis using differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) of tissue smoke generated by the use of an electrosurgical instrument. Patients recruited in the trial receive standard-of-care basal cell carcinoma tumor excision surgery.
