Filter by:The aim of this non-interventional study is to provide further data on the utilization, effectiveness, safety and clinical benefit including duration of response of Vismodegib for treatment of locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC), inappropriate for surgery or radiotherapy under real world clinical conditions.
Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled study that evaluates the efficacy and safety of patidegib gel 2% and 4% in comparison with vehicle in participants at least 18 years of age that meet the diagnostic criteria for basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS). Participants will be randomized to receive patidegib gel 2%, patidegib gel 4%, or the vehicle gel for a 26-week treatment period.
The research team will develop an intraoperative handheld device for assessing surgical margins during Mohs surgery. The device technology is based on multimodal optical spectroscopy (MMS), combining three optical spectroscopy techniques into one device. The researchers will first acquire proof of concept MMS measurements within the Mohs surgery suite immediately after surgical excision and prior to histological processing. MMS measurements will be acquired directly on the patient from the NMSC excision site. The final outcome of this study will result in the sensitivity and specificity of MMS compared to histopathology during Mohs surgery. These results will allow for the estimation of the potential benefit of an intraoperative margin assessment technique.
This phase 0 trial studies how well itraconazole gel works in treating patients with basal cell cancer. Itraconazole gel may help to treat basal cell tumors in patients.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well arsenic trioxide and itraconazole work in treating patients with basal cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Itraconazole may help treat fungal infections in patients with basal cell cancer. Giving arsenic trioxide with itraconazole may work better in treating basal cell cancer.
This phase 1-2 trial studies how well pembrolizumab with or without vismodegib works in treating patients with skin basal cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, are checkpoint inhibitors that stimulate immune response. Vismodegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking signals needed for cell growth.
The primary purpose for this multi-center, non-interventional study is to evaluate the duration of response defined as duration from first documented response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until disease progression (as determined by the treating physician) for participants with laBCC.
Skin cancer represents a large problem in today's healthcare setting. The majority of cancer diagnoses are attributed to malignant skin diseases including its major types: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Early diagnoses is critical given early detection of malignant lesions largely increases chances of successful treatment. The current gold standard of diagnosis is histopathological examination of biopsied skin. Biopsies are not only invasive and expensive, they have variable positive predictive value, meaning they may often be preformed unnecessarily. As such, the investigators have developed a skin scanner, which is less bulky and expensive than existing similar technologies, as a tool to evaluate skin lesions prior to determining the need for a biopsy. Their objective is to obtain information in order to validate this skin scanner in the context of its ability to accurately identify basal cell carcinoma skin lesions.
Open-label, non-comparative, multicenter, phase II study of Vismodegib in patients with locally advanced BCC.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability and efficacy of using a polarization-enhanced reflectance and fluorescence imaging device, PERFIS, (see the Device Brochure) for demarcation of nonmelanoma skin cancer margins prior to surgery. PERFIS is a harmless and non-invasive device that has been used to image biological tissue both in vitro and in vivo. In this study it will be used to image nonmelanoma skin cancer lesions prior to surgery. The use of PERFIS will not affect patient care or treatment decisions in any way. No extra tissue will be used for imaging.
