NOVA-II Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new ointment to see if it's safe and effective for treating hand-foot skin reaction, a common side effect of cancer treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with cancer who are being treated with VEGFR inhibitors and have developed moderate to severe Hand-Foot Skin Reaction (HFSR). They should be able to perform daily activities (ECOG ≤ 2), use topical medications, and complete questionnaires. Pregnant women, those on certain other cancer drugs or skin treatments, or with uncontrolled illnesses are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests OQL011 ointment's safety and effectiveness against a non-medicated ointment in treating HFSR caused by cancer treatment drugs. It aims to find the best dose for future studies and understand how the body processes OQL011.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of OQL011 aren't listed here, common side effects from topical medications may include skin irritation, redness, itching or rash at the application site.
