About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Examine the Effectiveness of 595nM Pulsed Dye Lasers in the Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Situ

This is a research study to find out more about the use of the pulsed dye laser in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma and early stage squamous cell carcinoma that has not invaded deep into the skin. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of the pulsed dye laser (PDL) can completely clear or regress basal cell carcinoma or early stage squamous cell carcinoma.

Pulsed dye laser is a type of laser that is commonly used to treat lesions on the skin that have a prominent blood vessel component. It has been used to treat broken blood vessels on the face, hemangiomas in children and adults, leg veins, port wine stains, and other lesions with a prominent vascular component.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PDL TreatmentProcedure or surgery

    Pulsed-dye laser (PDL) treatment at one of two settings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tumor Clearance

    Review of the pathology report showing whether there was residual tumor or not. If there was no residual tumor in the pathology report from the confirmatory excision, the laser treatment was considered successful (tumor clearance).

    Measured: 21 to 36 days after the treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PDL Treatment in people with Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Situ, run by University of California, San Diego.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Sep 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor Clearance (time frame: 21 to 36 days after the treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2019.
