Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent Change in Target Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Expected Surgical Defect Area at Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) Visit [ Time Frame: Baseline, MMS visit (Week 12-14) ]
    The percent change in target BCC expected surgical defect area was defined as ([baseline expected surgical defect area - expected surgical defect area at MMS visit]/ baseline expected surgical defect area) × 100 percent (%) where expected surgical defect area was manually outlined on a digital photograph and measured by a computer (computer aided planimetry). MMS visit was defined as the visit that occurred within 2 weeks of the last study treatment.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Actual Change in Target BCC Expected Surgical Defect Area at MMS Visit [ Time Frame: Baseline, MSS Visit (Week 12-14) ]
    Actual change was defined as (baseline expected surgical defect area - expected surgical defect area at MMS visit). MMS visit was defined as the visit that occurred within 2 weeks of the last study treatment. Expected surgical defect area was manually outlined on a digital photograph and measured by a computer (computer aided planimetry).

  2. Percentage Change in Target BCC Actual Tumor-Free Margin Excision Area at MMS Visit [ Time Frame: Baseline, MMS visit (Week 12-14) ]
    Percent change in target BCC actual tumor-free margin excision area was defined as = (expected surgical defect area pre-treatment - actual tumor-free margin excision area at MMS visit) / expected surgical defect area pre-treatment) * 100%. The actual tumor-free margin excision area (includes 2 millimeters [mm] margin) was measured during MMS. The area was photographed and traced on the digital photograph then calculated by computer-aided planimetry. MMS visit was defined as the visit that occurred within 2 weeks of the last study treatment.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response [ Time Frame: MMS visit (Week 12-14) ]
    Clinical response was defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at the post-treatment MMS excision. CR was defined as no histological evidence of BCC. PR was defined as a reduction of at least 50 % in the expected surgical defect area with histologic evidence of residual BCC. MMS visit was defined the visit that occurred within 2 weeks of the last study treatment.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Skip Area [ Time Frame: MMS visit (Week 12-14) ]
    Skip area was defined as the presence of non-contiguous residual tumor at the MMS visit, as determined by an independent dermatopathologist. MMS visit occurred within 2 weeks of the last study treatment.

  5. Percentage of Participants With BCC Recurrence [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 24, and 52 weeks post MMS Visit (MMS Visit = Week 12-14) ]
