Scientific titleAn open phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of topical SR-T100® gel in the treatment of human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease)
Study objectivesIn our preliminary animal study to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of topical SR-T100® gel, using an approved protocol of ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced hairless mouse (HRS) cutaneous cell carcinoma, 35 of 40 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) disappeared within 10 weeks of treatment (once-daily). Besides the high complete response rate (87.5%) as compared with the conventional therapy, the most significant result was that no undesirable side effects were associated with the use of SR-T100® gel.

We hypothesise that SR-T100® gel can be a potential alternative treatment for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease).
Ethics approval(s)Human Experiment and Ethics Committee of National Cheng Kung University Hospital approved on the 20th July 2007 (ref: HR-94-72).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHuman cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (actinic keratosis and Bowen’s disease)
InterventionOnly one lesion will be selected for treatment and assessment in each patient. SR-T100® gel will be applied once daily on the targeted lesion and covered with an occlusive dressing. Patients will be instructed to apply the study gel to the entire area of target lesion including its peripheral normal skin approximately 1 cm around the tumour. Treatment will be continued until tumour is clinically cleared or until 16 weeks of treatment completed. The 16 week treatment is chosen on the basis of maximum duration treatment of topical drug on actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease previously reported.

Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)SR-T100® gel
Primary outcome measureTo assess the response rate of SR-T100® in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease), defined as the proportion of patients whose lesion size (length x width x height) is reduced greater than 75%. Measured until tumour is clinically cleared or until 16 weeks of treatment completed.
Secondary outcome measures1. Complete clearance rate, defined as the proportion of patients with no clinically visible actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease lesions in the treatment area
2. Partial clearance rate, defined as the proportion of patients with at least a 75% reduction of actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease lesion size (length x width x height) in the treatment area
3. Histological response rate: proportion of patients with biopsy proven clearance of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease)
4. The safety profile of SR-T100® gel

Measured until tumour is clinically cleared or until 16 weeks of treatment completed.

2. Patients must have histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma in situ (actinic keratosis or Bowen's Disease) for the target lesion
3. Patients must have a measureable lesion 5 mm or larger for actinic keratosis of 10 mm or larger for Bowen's disease
