E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The study aim is to assess the immunological and clinical response in BCC treated with AFL or intratumoral nivolumab as monotherapy and compare with BCC treated with combination-therapy of AFL and the anti-PD1-drug Nivolumab (intratumoral).
Primary objectives
1. To investigate the immunological response of AFL or intratumoral nivolumab as monotherapy and AFL+Nivolumab (intratumoral) in BCC
2. To investigate the clinical response of AFL or nivolumab (intratumoral) as monotherapy and AFL+Nivolumab in BCC |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives:
• Tolerability of AFL+Nivolumab evaluated as local skin reactions
• Detection of intra-tumoral Nivolumab evaluated by ELISA with anti-anti-PD1
• Analysis and quantification of PD-L1 expression (tumor cells and TILs) evaluated by IHC
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients 18 years or older
• Histologically verified BCC, irrespective of histologic subtype with diameter ≥7 mm at baseline.
• Signed informed consent.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential* must be confirmed not pregnant by a negative pregnancy test prior to study treatment and must use a safe contraceptive method.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Concomitant treatment with 5-FU or imiquimod
• Concomitant chemotherapeutic treatment
• Concomitant systemic immunotherapeutic treatment
• Pregnant or lactating women
• Allergies to anti-PD1
• Patients with a tendency to form keloids
• Other skin diseases or tattoos in the treatment area.
