Official title
1% Topical Pimecrolimus Cream for the Prevention of Rash Associated With the Use of the EGFR Antagonist, Cetuximab
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
When cancer patients are treated with the drug cetuximab they very often develop a rash. Usually it appears on their face and back and other parts of the body. The rash looks like acne and is treated with skin creams or antibiotics most of the time. The rash can become very painful and cause patients to stop using cetuximab to treat their cancer, even if cetuximab was helping fight their cancer. Cetuximab is known to be a good drug to help treat cancer. This study will help us learn about the rash cetuximab causes so hopefully future patients can finish taking cetuximab for their cancer. In this study the investigators will use a cream called pimecrolimus (Elidel) to see if it will help prevent the rash or keep the rash from getting worse. The investigators also want to see how the rash affects patients and their quality of life. Participants will be in this study for about four weeks if their rash does not get worse. They will need to apply the study cream and placebo two times daily and answer quality of life questionnaires during this study. Participants will also be seen by a dermatologist and have pictures taken of their rash.
