PHASE1

Intralesional 5-Fluorouracil (5FU), Topical Calcipotriene Treatment for SCC

Sponsor: Melissa Pugliano-Mauro

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This clinical trial proposes to evaluate a relatively unexplored approach to treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the lower extremities. The strategy is to directly and specifically deliver drug to the tumor. For the proposed phase I clinical trial, the investigators will perform intralesional injections of a well characterized, potent chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (5FU) with and without a topical application of 0.005% calcipotriene cream to kill topically accessible SCC cells. The goal of the study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of intralesional-5FU with and without a concomitant topical calcipotriene and measure the clinical objective response rate (ORR) in treated lesions compared to untreated lesions 3 weeks after treatment.

Official title: Phase I, Dual Arm, Open-Label, Trial of Intralesional 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) and Intralesional 5FU Combined With Topical Calcipotriene in Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the Lower Extremities
