Full Title
A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of Topically Administered LUT014 in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients with EGFR Inhibitor Induced Acneiform LesionsPurpose
Acne-like (acneiform) rash is a very common side effect of drugs called EGFR inhibitors (such as cetuximab and panitumumab) which are used to treat advanced colorectal cancer. Patients develop small, raised bumps that can be tender and itchy. Acneiform rash can impair a patient’s quality of life and sometimes interfere with the use of an EGFR inhibitor. There is no approved treatment for this rash.
In this study, researchers are assessing two different doses of a gel called LUT014 in patients with acneiform rash caused by their treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. LUT014 may prevent the rash from forming by reversing the chemical process that allows EGFR inhibitors to cause skin problems, thereby promoting healing. Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of LUT014 or a placebo (inactive) gel.
