Official title
A Phase II Placebo-controlled Intervention Trial of Oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for Protection of Human Nevi Against UV-induced Oxidative Stress/Damage in Vivo
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a phase II intervention to propose a new melanoma chemoprevention agent. The investigators believe oxidative stress/damage in nevi is a probable indication for melanoma risk, and propose that reduced melanoma risk in humans can be inferred by protection of nevi from ultraviolet light (UV)-induced oxidative changes. The investigators will 1) evaluate whether administration of NAC around the time of UV exposure will reduce melanoma risk in high-risk patient populations with genetic susceptibility to UV-induced oxidative stress, and 2) examine key genetic variants that will identify which individuals are most likely to benefit from chemoprotection.
