Can a cream stop cancer Treatment's ugly side effect?
NCT ID NCT06358677
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a cream containing tretinoin (a form of vitamin A) can prevent or reduce the acne-like rash that often occurs in patients taking certain cancer drugs. About 25 adults with advanced solid tumors will apply the cream to one side of their face and a placebo cream to the other side, without knowing which is which. Researchers will compare the rash severity on both sides over time.
