Timolol eye drop solution for healing skin surgery wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying timolol (a beta-blocker eye drop) to a wound after Mohs surgery can help it heal faster. If you are having Mohs surgery for skin cancer and have a wound between half an inch and 4 inches, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for Mohs surgery to remove a skin cancer
- Your wound after surgery will be between 0.5 cm and 4 cm (about the size of a pencil eraser to a small lime)
- You can speak English and agree to follow the study plan
- You cannot be taking certain heart or blood pressure medications, or have certain heart, lung, or blood pressure conditions

This trial tests if applying timolol (a beta-blocker eye drop) to surgical wounds that are left open to heal by themselves can help them heal better and faster. It is for people who have had skin cancer removal surgery and have chosen not to have reconstructive surgery.
This trial tests a special dissolvable nasal dressing that slowly releases a steroid (mometasone furoate) to reduce swelling and polyps after sinus surgery. It may help improve healing and lower the need for additional treatments.
This trial tests if a special type of bandage (hydrocolloid dressing) helps heal wounds after eye or face surgery. The goal is to see if it improves healing and comfort.
This study tests whether a medication called timolol can help scalp wounds heal better and look better after Mohs surgery (a precise skin cancer removal procedure). Timolol is typically used for eye pressure and blood pressure, but researchers believe it may reduce scarring and improve wound healing.
This trial tests if a timolol cream can help treat painful or infected nails (paronychia) caused by certain lung cancer medications. If you have non-small cell lung cancer and nail problems from your treatment, this study may offer relief.
This trial tests if timolol eye drops, applied to the skin, can reduce red marks left by acne. It may be an option for people with acne-related redness who haven't responded to other treatments.
