Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine maximum tolerated dose level (MTD) of PEP005 Topical Gel for the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma on the trunk

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are a common skin problem largely caused by long term sun exposure. Current treatments include surgery, curettage/desiccation and simple excision, which are often cosmetically disfiguring. Non-invasive alternative therapy for treatment of BCC lesions is thus being researched. Sap from the plant Euphorbia peplus has been used for many years in Australia as a "folk" remedy to treat a number of skin conditions. The active component of Euphorbia peplus has been isolated and made into a gel applied directly to the skin by Peplin Opeation Pty Ltd.

The proposed study follows a previously conducted 12 week study in sBCC, PEP005-003. This was a two dose schedule evaluating doses up to 0.05%. Histological clearance rate at the end of study was 71% for the 0.05% concentration on the Day 1, Day 2 schedule compared with 0% in the vehicle group.

The proposed study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose level (MTD) of PEP005 Topical Gel, in patients, when administered either as a single application or as two applications to a selected superficial basal cell carcinoma lesion with a 3 month follow up.
