Alteration of the Immune Microenvironment in Basal Cell Carcinoma Following Photodynamic Therapy (NCT05020912)

Alteration of the Immune Microenvironment in Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Following Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to better understand the immune response to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) treated with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in order to develop new methods of treating BCC. Previous research suggests that PDT alters the immune response, possibly in a way that could promote better tumor clearance when combined with other treatments. Overall, participation in this study will help the study team better understand the anti-tumor immune response when BCC is treated with PDT.
