NCT ID NCT07010692
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special laser followed by tirbanibulin ointment can effectively treat common skin cancers like basal and squamous cell carcinoma. About 100 adults with biopsy-confirmed skin cancers will receive the laser treatment and, if needed, apply the ointment for five nights. The goal is to clear the cancer without surgery, improving appearance and recovery.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a non-surgical treatment option for common skin cancers, reducing the need for invasive procedures and improving cosmetic outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not clear the cancer completely, and recurrence is possible.
