Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether injecting ALA into the skin with a jet-injection device and activating the drug with light is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with basal cell carcinoma.

Conditions

  • BCC
  • BCC - Basal Cell Carcinoma
  • Basal Cell Carcinoma
  • Basal Cell Cancer
  • Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma
  • Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma

Interventions

DRUG

Jet injection of ALA

The Basal Cell Carcinoma/BCC tumor and a 5 mm margin will be injected with a grid of 80 microliters of 20% ALA at 5-8.5 mm between each injection (30-50% overlap).

PROCEDURE

Surgical excision

In the first 4 patients, the tumor will be excised according to national guidelines after 3h incubation (+/- 30 min is accepted).

PROCEDURE

Illumination

For patients 5-16,after 3h incubation (+/- 30 min), the tumor will be illuminated with red light corresponding to a dose of 75 J/cm2 570- 670 nm or equivalent dose of narrowband red light. The intervention will be repeated at after 14 days in patient 5-16. If the wound is not healed at two weeks, the treatment may be postponed to allow healing (patient 5-16).

OTHER

Incubation

After injection of ALA, the tumor will be occluded with a light proof dressing and incubated for 3h (+/- 30 min).
