NCT00644384 NMSC Oral acitretin With history of NMSC Rate of new NMSC; surrogate biomarkers 130 No results published
NCT00003611 NMSC Oral acitretin With history of skin cancers with organ transplantation Rate of new NMSC; surrogate biomarkers 70 Acitretin showed benefit but not significant; the patients who received acitretin reported significantly more mucositis and skin toxicities compared to the patients who received placebo [21].
NCT00007631 NMSC Topical tretinoin With history of NMSC Rate of NMSC 1131 High-dose topical tretinoin was ineffective at reducing risk of NMSC [22,23,24].
NCT00847912 NMSC 5-FU topical Veterans with history of NMSC Rate of NMSC 954 Risk of SCC reduction was seen in the first year only; risk of BCC reduction in the first year was not significant [25].
NCT00021294 NMSC Topical DFMO combined with triamcinolone Patients with AK Rate of NMSC 102 The low-dose topical drug interventions were effective in reducing skin biopsy nuclear abnormality [26].
NCT00601640 Other DFMO combined with diclofenac Individuals with skin sun damage Nuclear marker 156 The addition of topical DFMO to topical diclofenac did not enhance its activity [27].
NCT00204789 Other Oral DFMO Organ transplant recipients Safety; targets of DFMO 52 No significant effect for DFMO [28]; oral DFMO at 500 mg/m2/day was safe and tolerable and resulted in significant inhibition of phorbol ester-induced skin ODC activity [29].
NCT01032343 Skin immunity Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) Healthy volunteers Nickel contact hypersensitivity 79 Oral PUFAs abrogated photoimmunosuppression in human skin, providing additional support for their chemopreventive role [30].
