Niacinamide cream for skin cancer prevention in transplant patients
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a daily cream with 5% niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can help prevent skin cancer in people who have had an organ transplant. You will apply the cream to your skin and also use sunscreen every day.

This early trial tests whether adding vitamin A and niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can help people with a history of certain skin cancers reduce new disease. It is designed for adults with specific prior skin cancer or skin lesion treatment patterns.
This study tests a new sunscreen (Anthelos Fluide 100 KA+ UVMune 400) to see if it can protect skin and prevent further sun damage in people who already have multiple actinic keratoses (precancerous spots). It may help reduce the risk of new spots or skin cancer.
This trial tests a very short course of immunotherapy (nivolumab) before standard surgery for patients with certain types of advanced or hard-to-treat skin cancer (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma). The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the need for extensive or disfiguring surgery.
This trial tests an immunotherapy drug called cosibelimab for patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who have either had a kidney transplant or have a blood cancer like lymphoma or myeloma. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors when surgery or radiation is not an option.
This trial tests how a new drug works in people with actinic keratosis (rough, scaly patches caused by sun damage) on their upper arms or face. You will receive the treatment and have blood samples taken to see how your body processes the medication.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D before a special light therapy (photodynamic therapy) can help your body fight nonmelanoma skin cancers like basal or squamous cell cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery to remove a skin tumor.
