Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with histologically confirmed, primary, untreated superficial basal cell carcinoma not located on the face or scalp, and measuring 15 mm or less.

Probably not a fit

Patients with basal cell carcinoma on the face or scalp, non-superficial subtypes, or those who have received prior treatments in the affected area may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of a 1% tirbanibulin ointment in adults with superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC) that does not occur on the face or scalp. The study will include 55 participants, accounting for potential exclusions, and will assess the treatment's effectiveness based on histologically confirmed cases. Participants will undergo a selection visit followed by an inclusion visit where consent will be obtained and clinical evaluations conducted.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new topical option for patients with superficial basal cell carcinoma, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored topical treatments for basal cell carcinoma, indicating potential effectiveness, but this specific approach with tirbanibulin is novel.
