Cemiplimab for advanced basal cell carcinoma
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests cemiplimab, an immunotherapy drug, as a first treatment for advanced basal cell carcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if it can shrink or control the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had prior immunotherapy or targeted therapy for this cancer
- You are in generally good health with normal blood counts, kidney, and liver function
- You do not have a significant autoimmune disease or active infection

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a drug (cemiplimab) injected directly into early-stage skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) to see if it can shrink or cure the cancer before surgery. It may help patients avoid more extensive surgery or reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
This trial tests combining a skin cream (imiquimod), a laser treatment, and an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) before surgery for high-risk basal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors enough to make surgery less disfiguring or damaging to nearby functions.
This early-phase study tests cemiplimab (an immune therapy that helps your immune system attack cancer) given before surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with Merkel cell cancer or certain locally advanced skin squamous cell cancers (CSCC).
This trial tests a drug called cemiplimab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced lung cancer that has high PD-L1 levels. It uses a simple blood test to track how well the treatment is working.
This Phase 1 trial tests the drug cemiplimab given before and after surgery to reduce the chance that high-risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer comes back. You may be a candidate if your cancer is high-risk on pathology or imaging and is planned for surgical removal.
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
