Histopathologic Effect of Calcium Electroporation on Cancer in the Skin

Histopathologic Effect of Calcium Electroporation on Cancer in the Skin

All
Phase 2

In this non randomized phase II study, we will explore histopathological tumour cell death mechanisms in 12 patients with breast cancer metastases and 12 patients with other cutaneous or subcutaneous malignancy. The primary endpoint of the biopsy study is to evaluate differences in tumour infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) population in tissue samples from treated cancer tumours two days after calcium electroporation treatment compared to samples taken on the day of treatment before the calcium electroporation procedure. TIL content in biopsies will be evaluated by pathological examination and specified in percent of cells. Patients will be followed up to 3 months and depending on number of treated tumors, biopsies will be taken at different timepoints after one or two treatments with calcium electroporation. Other analyses will include differences regarding tumour type, immune marker expression levels over time, vascular effects and regressive changes as well as examining changes in systemic immunological markers.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
