New gel could soothe painful rash from cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT05639933

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a topical gel called HT-001 for treating skin rashes, dryness, and nail problems caused by EGFR inhibitor cancer drugs. About 152 adults on these cancer therapies will apply the gel daily for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if it reduces rash severity and improves quality of life, with a placebo comparison in the second phase.

What this could mean

Active substance

HT-001 topical gel

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for painful skin rashes caused by certain cancer drugs, helping patients stay on their cancer therapy more comfortably.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 152 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The gel is topical and has low risk, but it may not work better than placebo.
