Capecitabine or 5-FU With Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b in Unresectable/Metastatic Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
NaSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of two established anti-cancer therapies are beneficial in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Specifically, investigators want to determine if the combination of 5-FU/Capecitabine (oral pills) and Interferon alpha-2b (injection) can help people with advanced cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. For participants that are not approved for oral capecitabine, treating physicians will use continuous infusion 5-FU. Both 5-FU/Capecitabine and Interferon alpha-2b have been used separately to treat squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and are FDA approved in other cancer types.
