Summary

This study tested a microneedle patch that delivers the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin directly into nodular basal cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer. 90 adults with small, untreated tumors received either a low-dose, high-dose, or no-drug patch. The goal was to see if the patch could clear the cancer both visually and under a microscope, with the tumor removed at the end for confirmation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
doxorubicin delivered via microneedle patch
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a needle-free, targeted treatment for common skin cancers, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (90 people) and results may not apply to larger or more aggressive tumors. The treatment is not a cure and requires follow-up excision.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or non-pregnant female ≥ 18 years of age at time of consent. 2. Clinical diagnosis of a primary, previously untreated, histologically confirmed nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma (nBCC) lesion suitable for excision (at end of the study) with a minimum diameter of 0.5 cm and with a maximum longest diameter of 1.3 cm at the time of biopsy and Visit 2/Baseline.

Used topical immunomodulators within 2 cm of the Target Lesion within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 2/Baseline or after the confirmatory biopsy. 6. Used the following topical agents within 2 cm of the Target Lesion within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 2/Baseline or after the confirmatory biopsy: aminolevulinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, diclofenac, ingenol mebutate, tirbanibulin, or imiquimod. 7.
