Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete Response (CR) with Modified Visual RECIST tool
Time Frame: 12 months
To assess the proportion of lesions achieving complete response (CR) as per MODIFIED VISUAL RECIST criteria
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SKINDEX-16 QoL Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 months and 12 months
The QoL questionnaire will be scored according to the author's instructions. Change from baseline in score will be calculated. Descriptive statistics will be presented for actual score and change from baseline by timepoint, overall and by tumour type (BCC/SCC).
6 months and 12 months
Comfort of Treatment short questionnaire
Time Frame: 14 days
Comfort of treatment assessed using a short questionnaire completed by subjects post treatment with Rhenium-SCT. The frequency (and percentage) of subjects reporting each option for each question will be presented.
14 days
cosmetic outcomes by Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 12 months and 24 months
Cosmetic outcome assessed by subject and Clinician, using Visual Analogue Scale. Descriptive statistics will be presented overall and by tumour type (BCC or SCC). A mixed model will be fitted with Visual Analogue Scale as the outcome variable. Tumour type and tumour stage will be included as factors. Other relevant prognostic factors assessed at Baseline will be included. From the model the adjusted mean score will be obtained and presented with 95% confidence limits. Adjusted mean score will be estimated overall and by tumour type.
12 months and 24 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Time Frame: 24 months
Adverse events by severity and by relationship to Rhenium-SCT, including radiation dermatitis, dry skin, skin ulceration, alopecia, skin induration, hypo/hyperpigmentation, and telangiectasia. Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA and comprehensively summarised by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) overall, by severity and by relationship to Rhenium-SCT.
