This pilot early phase I trial studies the role of itraconazole in treating patients with basal cell carcinoma. Itraconazole is medication commonly used to treat fungal infections that may also be able to inhibit the growth of a basal cell carcinoma.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02120677.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine antitumorigenic potential of topical itraconazole in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain preliminary safety data regarding use of topical itraconazole in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma.
OUTLINE:
Patients apply itraconazole topically on days 1-3, 1-5, or 1-7. Patients then undergo surgical excision of basal cell carcinoma per standard of care on days 4, 6, or 8.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up on day 38.
