Trial summary

Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) is the most commonly occurring type of skin cancer, and predominantly comprises (98%) Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC). About 3.3 million people in the United States (U.S.) are diagnosed with NMSC annually, equating about 5.4 million BCCs and SCCs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Registry Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) in Individuals With Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) .

Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) is the most commonly occurring type of skin cancer, and predominantly comprises (98%) Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC). About 3.3 million people in the United States (U.S.) are diagnosed with NMSC annually, equating about 5.4 million BCCs and SCCs. Low-dose Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) effectively destroys BCC and SCC without any invasive cutting, bleeding or stitching. There is no need for anesthesia, no risk of infection or scarring and no need for reconstructive plastic surgery. Healing time is quick with minimal to no post-treatment downtime or lifestyle restrictions. It is therefore both a viable and highly desirable alternative to invasive, painful and higher-risk surgical procedures. This study will utilize retrospective chart analysis to evaluate the outcomes of SRT-100™ therapy on NMSC lesions over a long-term post-treatment period.

Read the detailed description

Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) is the most commonly occurring type of skin cancer and accounts for about one-third of all cancers. NMSCs predominantly (98%) include Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC). Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) are abnormal, uncontrolled growths or lesions that arise in the skin's basal cells that line the deepest layer of the epidermis, occurring most commonly on sun-exposed areas of the face, head and neck. They are slow-growing cancers that rarely metastasize. Delayed or ineffective treatment of BCCs can lead to disfigurement of the lesion and recurrence. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are uncontrolled growths of abnormal cells arising from the squamous cells in the epidermis producing keratin, also typically developing on sun-exposed and damaged body areas such as the face, ears, neck, lips, back of the hands, arms and legs. SCCs may be slow or rapidly growing with significant tenderness and pain and may become disfiguring and fatal if left untreated and allowed to grow.

About 3.3 million people in the United States (U.S.) are diagnosed with NMSC annually, equating about 5.4 million BCCs and SCCs. Diagnosis and treatment of NMSC in the U.S. increased by 77% between 1994 and 2014. The incidence of BCC is about 4 times that of SCC. An estimated 4.3 million cases of BCC are diagnosed annually in the U.S. resulting in over 3,000 deaths. Over 1 million cases of SCC are diagnosed in the U.S. annually, resulting in over 15,000 deaths. SCC has a 4% annual incidence of metastasis. About 90% of NMSC is associated with repeated and unprotected skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays

Treatment options for NMSC include surgery, cryotherapy, curettage and electrodesiccation, radiation therapy including superficial radiation therapy (SRT), photodynamic therapy, various forms of brachytherapy, and chemotherapeutic agents.

Low-dose SRT effectively destroys BCC and SCC without any invasive cutting, bleeding or stitching. There is no need for anesthesia, no risk of infection or scarring and no need for reconstructive plastic surgery. Healing time is quick with minimal to no post-treatment downtime or lifestyle restrictions. It is therefore both a viable and highly desirable alternative to invasive, painful and higher-risk surgical procedures. This study will utilize retrospective chart analysis to evaluate the outcomes of SRT-100™ therapy on NMSC lesions over a long-term post-treatment period.

SRT-100

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SRT-100Radiation

    The SRT-100™ is a simple painless non-invasive in-office procedure that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) to treat keloids caused by surgery or injury by delivering a precise, calibrated dose of Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) that only goes skin deep.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cure Rate

    NMSC cure rate will be calculated as the percentage of lesions that attained complete cure following SRT-100 treatment completion.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-melanoma Skin Cancer, run by Sensus Healthcare at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 1 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 5 Jul 2019. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cure Rate (time frame: 5 years). 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 5 Jul 2019.
