Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new way to treat basal cell carcinoma (a common skin cancer) using tiny needles on a patch that deliver the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin directly into the tumor. The study involved 13 adults with small, untreated skin cancers. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the patch could completely remove the cancer. The trial was stopped early, but results helped understand safety and dosing.
