Chemo patch zaps skin cancer without needles?

NCT ID NCT06608238

First seen Apr 06, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tested a new way to treat a common skin cancer called nodular basal cell carcinoma. Instead of surgery or creams, a tiny microneedle patch delivered the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin directly into the tumor. 90 adults with one small skin cancer spot took part, receiving either a low or high dose of the drug or a patch with no drug. The goal was to see if the patch could safely clear the cancer cells.
