Phase IIB Randomized Study of Topical Difluoromethylornithine and Topical Diclofenac on Sun-Damaged Skin of the Forearm
TLDR
Overall, the study indicated that the addition of topical DFMO to topical diclofenac did not enhance its activity, and both agents caused inflammation on a cellular and clinical level, which may have confounded the measurement of chemopreventive effects.
