First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a topical cream called diphencyprone (DPCP) can make immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) work better for people with advanced cancer that has spread to the skin. About 100 participants will apply the cream twice a week for 12 weeks alongside their standard immunotherapy. The main goals are to check safety and to see how the treatment changes immune activity in the skin tumors.
