- What it's testing
- A Randomized Controlled Trial of Topical 5% Niacinamide for Skin Cancer Prevention in Organ Transplant Recipients This study is designed to evaluate whether a topical 5% niacinamide cream can help prevent skin cancer in organ transplant recipients. Individuals who have received an organ transplant have a much higher risk of developing precancerous skin growths and skin cancers because of long-term immune-suppressing medications.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Time commitment: about 12 months
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
