Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma Phase-One Trial

Scientia Clinical Research is recruiting adults (aged 18 to 85 years) with untreated nodular basal cell carcinoma to participate in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial. The study is evaluating FLD-103, a novel intralesional Hedgehog pathway inhibitor. This treatment may offer a less invasive alternative to surgery.

Researches from UNSW appreciate referrals of potentially eligible patients who are aged 18 to 85 years and have a diagnosis of untreated nodular basal cell carcinoma.
