An open-label study to evaluate the safety and the ability of Imiquimod 5% cream, applied topically, to clear superficial basal cell carcinoma and to keep it clear for 5 years of follow-up.
Evaluate the long-term sustained clearance rate, defined as the proportion of those subjects clinically clear of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) at the treated superficial BCC (sBCC) target tumor site at the 12-week posttreatment visit who remain clear during a 5 year follow-up period.
