This early phase I trial studies the side effects of ketoconazole and how well it works in treating participants with ongoing EGFR inhibitor-induced rash. Ketoconazole may reduce the symptoms related to EGFR inhibitor therapy and improve EGFR inhibitor-induced rash.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03471364.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To demonstrate that topical ketoconazole, an anti-androgen, palliates EGFR inhibitor-induced rash within a group of racially diverse cancer patients.
II. To explore the role of ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing to identify other targets that might be used at a later date for rash palliation.
III. To evaluate toxicities associated with topical ketoconazole.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Participants apply ketoconazole topically twice daily (BID) on days 1-28.
ARM II: Participants apply placebo topically BID on days 1-28.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 1 week.
