A Study on Radiation Therapy Guided by the Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM)/Optimal Coherence Tomography (OCT) Device in People With Basal Cell Carcinoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if radiation therapy (RT) guided by the new reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM)/optimal coherence tomography (OCT) device is an effective treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The researchers will also look at the side effects from RT guided by the RCM/OCT device. In addition, will determine the quality of life before and after treatment by having the participant fill out questionnaires.

---|---|
Experimental: Reflectance ConfocaL Microscopy And Optical Coherence Tomography Guided RadIation TherapY If eligible, patients will undergo pretreatment RCM/OCT imaging, followed by RT. Six weeks after the completion of RT, patients will undergo post-treatment assessment with RCM/OCT and biopsy. If residual carcinoma is detected on the biopsy, surgical excision of the BCC will be performed. If no residual carcinoma is detected on the biopsy, the patient will be monitored for clinical evidence of recurrence for up to 3 years. |
Device: Reflectance ConfocaL Microscopy And Optical Coherence Tomography Guided
Patients will undergo RCM/OCT with an imaging specialist in the Dermatology Service.
This is not expected to take longer than 30 minutes. Prior to imaging, a digital photograph will be taken of the biopsy proven BCC.
Radiation: Radiation Therapy
After the completion of skin imaging, patients will undergo simulation and tumor radiotherapy. An equivalent total dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) of 45-46 Gy will be delivered for treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- histologic tumor response rate [6 weeks]
The presence of residual carcinoma on a biopsy or surgical excision specimen will be primary determinant for the primary endpoint outcome.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- frequency and severity of adverse events [up to 12 weeks]
by the Common Terminology and Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

-
Amenable to RCM/OCT and radiation therapy in opinion of investigator
-
Some anatomic locations may preclude imaging by RCM/OCT may not be amenable to RCM/OCT imaging
-
Some medical comorbidities may preclude the delivery of radiation therapy (conditions rendering patients hypersensitive to ionizing radiation, or unable to undergo treatment)
-
Able and willing to complete the Skindex 16 and Skin Cancer Index (must be able to understand English or Spanish)
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Medical contraindication to radiation therapy in the opinion of the investigator

Prior cancer radiotherapy which precludes the ability to safely deliver radiation therapy in the opinion of the investigator
-
High likelihood of protocol non-compliance in the opinion of the investigator °Patients who demonstrate unwillingness to undergo protocol-defined treatment or follow-up procedures will be ineligible to participate
