Registered outcomes8

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Histologically Confirmed Complete Responseup to 9 months
The histological complete response was defined as 100 percent (%) of the lesions within the participant having negative findings in the histological examination. Histological examination included evaluation of all the microscopical slides from the excised tissue for presence of malignant basal cells. Complete response was defined as complete disappearence of lesion. Number of participants with histologically confirmed complete response were reported.
SecondaryPercentage of Lesions With Histologically Confirmed Complete Lesion Responseup to 9 monthsHistological response weight means no signs of malignant basal cells in all microscopical slides containing excised tissue. The histologically confirmed complete lesion response were reported.
SecondaryPercentage of Lesions With Clinically Confirmed Complete Lesion Responseup to 9 months
Clinically confirmed complete lesion response means no signs of malignant basal cells in all microscopical slides containing excised tissue. The clinically confirmed complete lesion response were reported.
SecondaryHistological Verified Lesions With Complete Responseup to 9 months
Histological confirmed complete lesion response means no signs of malignant basal cells in all microscopical slides containing excised tissue. Number of histologically confirmed lesions with complete response were reported.
SecondaryClinically Verified Lesions With Complete Responseup to 9 months
Clinically confirmed complete lesion response means no signs of malignant basal cells in all microscopical slides containing excised tissue. Number of clinically confirmed lesions with complete response were reported.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Clinically Evaluated Complete Responseup to 9 months
The on-site investigator evaluated the lesion response by comparing to the lesion size before and after treatment. Complete response here means complete disappearance of a lesion. Number of participants for whom one or more lesions had a complete response were reported.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Cosmetic Outcome Assessed by Investigator and Participantsup to 9 months
Cosmetic outcomes were assessed with regards to occurrence of the following signs or symptoms; scarring, atrophy, induration, redness or change in pigmentation. Cosmetic outcome were graded as excellent, good, fair or poor where: excellent: no scarring, atrophy or induration, no or slight occurrence of redness or change in pigmentation compared to adjacent skin; good: no scarring, atrophy or induration but moderate redness or change in pigmentation compared to adjacent skin; fair: slight to moderate occurrence of scarring, atrophy or induration and Poor: extensive occurrence of scarring, atrophy or induration. The investigator and participants assessed the cosmetic outcome for each lesion has responded completely. Participants were asked to evaluate evaluate the cosmetic outcome according to the same categories: excellent, good, fair cosmetic outcome. Number of participants with summarized cosmetic outcomes for all symptoms as assessed by Investigator and participants were reported.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (AEs)up to 6 months
Adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, which does not necessarily have causal relationship with treatment. A serious AE was defined as an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged in participant hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. TEAEs: events between first dose of study drug that were absent before treatment/that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. TEAEs included both serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. Number of participants with AEs and serious AEs were reported.
