This early-phase study tests whether delivering chemotherapy through tiny skin needles (microneedles) can shrink or control cutaneous squamous cell cancer (cSCC) that can be surgically treated. Because it’s Phase 1/2, the main goals are to check safety and find the best way to deliver the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05481658RecruitingPhase 1
DPCP plus immunotherapy for skin cancer spread to the skin
This Phase 1 study tests a skin-applied treatment called DPCP added to standard PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy for cancers that have spread to the skin. It aims to improve control of skin tumors while checking safety and how well the immune system responds.

Test ointment for small basal cell skin cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests EscharEx (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and works on a single small basal cell skin cancer on the trunk or upper arms. You might qualify if your cancer fits specific size and location rules and you have not had radiation to that spot.
Aventura, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05169814RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Microbubble treatment for certain burn and wound types
This early-stage study tests micro/nanobubbles placed on or used for certain types of difficult wounds, including burns and some pressure or diabetic foot ulcers, especially when there has been tissue injury from radiation.
