Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Patients with localized basocellular carcinoma of the skin, will receive oral Itraconazole, 200 mg twice daily, for 60 days, prior to curative intent surgery.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Itraconazole 200 mg
N/A

Detailed Description

Patients with localized basocellular carcinoma of the skin, will receive oral Itraconazole, 200 mg once daily, for 60 days, before surgery with curative intent.

Tumor area regression will be measured through dermatologic evaluation and photographic documentation on baseline and at the end of the 60 day treatment period.

The activity of the Hedgehog pathway will be measured on tissue samples obtained at the time of diagnosis and at the time of curative intent surgery, through the measuring of the Ki67 index.
