About this study

Official title: Investigation of Local Skin Reactions and Safety After Combined Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma Using Ablative Fractional Laser and Ingenol Mebutate - an Exploratory, Prospective, Open-label Phase 2a Trial.

A prospective clinical, uncontrolled, open-label, explorative phase 2a trial on patients with histologically-confirmed superficial and nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The study assesses tolerability and tumor clearance after laser-assisted topical delivery of topical ingenol mebutate.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive ablative fractional laser (AFXl)-assisted ingenol mebutate (IM) as a treatment for their cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Treatment areas consisting of tumors and a 5 mm margin will undergo AFXl exposure (CO2 laser) followed by IM 0.015% or 0.05% under occlusion for 2-3 days. .

local skin reactions are monitored at baseline (day1), day 3/4, day 8, day 15, day 29, day 90, and tumor response monitored at baseline, day 29, and day 90. An additional repeat AFXl-IM treatment on day 29 will be offered if tumors persist, based on clinical evaluation and imaging on day 30.

Primary outcome:

  1. severity and duration of clinical local skin reactions including erythema, scaling, edema, blistering, erosion/ulceration and crusting using a 0-4-point scale at all visits from baseline to day 90.
  2. To monitor BCC tumor response on clinical assessments supported by non-invasive imaging techniques including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) at baseline, day 29 and day 90.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in occurrence of local skin reactions

    Non-blinded, clinical evaluation of local erythema, edema, flaking, crusting/scabbing, pustulation, scarring, hypo(hyperpigmentation, infection in treated areas will be performed by physician using an FDA-approved 0-4 point lsr scale at day 1, 3/4, 8, 15, 29 and 90 after AFXl exposure. Standardized, clinical photographs are taken to document skin reactions at each visit

    Measured: 0-90 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tumor response clinically

    Tumor clearance (yes or no) will be evaluated clinically at baseline, at day 29 and day 90. If residual tumor is identified at day 90 patients will receive conventional treatment according to national guidelines.

    Measured: baseline, day 29, day 90

  2. Tumor response by imaging techniques

    Clearance (yes or no) will be evaluated using non-invasive reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography at baseline, day 30 and day 90.f residual tumor is identified at day 90 patients will receive conventional treatment according to national guidelines.

    Measured: baseline, day 29, day 90

  3. Tumor response - histology

    HIstological verification of tumor clearance will be performed at day 90 after first treatment using tissue sections from a punch biopsy (up to 4 mm). If residual tumor is identified at day 90 patients will receive conventional treatment according to national guidelines.

    Measured: At day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AFXl-assisted ingenol mebutate delivery in people with Carcinoma, Basal Cell, run by Merete Haedersdal at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in occurrence of local skin reactions (time frame: 0-90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jul 2018.
