NCT ID: NCT03115567

Last Updated: 2023-05-17

Results Overview

To assess the difference in percentage of participants who develop a grade 2 or greater rash in the control group as compared to the case group of preemptive treatment with topical steroids (triamcinolone 0.1% cream for application to face, chest and back) when administered concomitantly for 6 weeks with erlotinib, cetuximab, panitumumab, or afatinib to prevent papulopustular eruptions.

Measure
Control
Patients in Control group will be instructed to follow a daily moisturizer and sunscreen regimen. Erlotinib, cetuximab, panitumumab, or afatinib will be administered as standard of care treatment.
Triamcinolone
Patients in the Triamcinolone group will be applying Triamcinolone 0.1% cream daily to their face, chest, and upper back, in addition to adhering to the same daily moisturizer and sunscreen regimen of the Control group. Erlotinib, cetuximab, panitumumab, or afatinib will be administered concomitantly as standard of care treatment. Triamcinolone: 6 weeks of twice daily application of 0.1% triamcinolone cream to the face, chest, and back.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

To assess the difference in change in quality-of-life due to rash at Visit 4 from Visit 1 between the two treatment groups. FACT-EGFRI 18 is an 18-question assessment for cancer patients undergoing EGFR treatment. The scoring range is 0-72, with 72 indicating more severe functional impact.
