NCT ID NCT07286318

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a daily cream containing 5% niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can help prevent skin cancer in organ transplant recipients. These patients have a much higher risk of skin cancer due to long-term immune-suppressing drugs. The study will compare the cream plus sunscreen against sunscreen alone in 20 adults over 12 months, tracking precancerous spots and new skin cancers.
