Study About Preventive Treatment of Folliculitis Induced by Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors (DIPROCOL)

July 30, 2012 updated by: Centre Oscar Lambret

Phase II Multicentric Study About Preventive Treatment of Folliculitis Induced by the EGF-R Inhibitors in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and Treated by Cetuximab or With Non-small-cell Lung Carcinoma Treated by Erlotinib

Patients will receive local prophylactic treatment (Diprosone cream) during 8 weeks from the beginning of the EGF-R inhibitors treatment, on the areas of the body susceptible to be affected by folliculitis.
