Active clinical trials for "Keratosis, Actinic"

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common disorder of keratinization. There are different treatment modalities for KP with variable results. Nd:YAG laser and chemical peels are among these treatment modalities, however, there is no enough evidence in the literature regarding their efficacy. The aim of this study is to assess and compare the efficacy of long pulsed Nd:YAG laser and trichloreacetic acid 20% in treatment of keratosis pilaris.

The KOHDIAK study is a prospective, three-armed, randomised, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of mild and moderate actinic keratosis with a 5% potassium hydroxide solution (Solcera, medical device) versus placebo and investigator-blinded comparison with 3% diclofenac gel (Solaraze, medicinal product). It is performed in accordance with both the laws in force for clinical trials with medical devices and those with medicinal products.

This study is open to individuals with Actinic Keratoses (skin lesions that have the potential to turn into skin cancer), who are receiving photodynamic therapy (PDT) as part of their clinical care. The purpose of this study is to test and demonstrate that vitamin D pre-treatment can enhance PDT efficacy in the treatment of Actinic Keratoses. Participants will be asked to take vitamin D supplements prior to their standard of care PDT treatment. Participation in the research will last about 3-4 months.

Nodular Basal Cell Carcinomas: Compare the efficacy and safety of conventional versus fractional laser assisted PDT for difficult to treat nodular cell carcinomas in the face. Actinic keratosis: Compare the efficacy and safety of conventional versus fractional laser assisted PDT for moderate to severe actinic keratoses located in the face and on the hands.

The main objective of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Metvix® natural daylight photodynamic therapy with those of Metvix® conventional photodynamic therapy with Aktilite™ lamp in subjects with mild actinic keratoses (intra-individual comparison).

Studies of SR-T100 gel and its clinical relevance in the treatment of AK, providing adequate measured outcomes for skin lesion treatment. In addition to the high complete response rate (90.0%) as compared with the conventional therapy, the most significant result was that no undesirable side effects were associated with the use of SR-T100 gel. The result also shows approximately 80% of study subjects had a complete response in phase II clinical trial conducted in Taiwan; hence, result from our study model suggested SR-T100 gel offers beneficial therapeutic values in treatment of AK is harmless to the skin as well as high tolerance level displayed by majority of patients.

This Phase II study is to evaluate the efficacy of SR-T100 gel with 2.3% of SM in Solanum undatum plant extract in patient with Actinic Keratosis (AK).

Zyclara™ (imiquimod) Cream, 3.75% is approved by the FDA for the treatment of actinic keratoses on the full face or balding scalp. Zyclara is applied once daily for two, 2-week treatment cycles separated by a 2-week no treatment applied interval. A generic imiquimod cream, 3.75% has been developed by Actavis Mid-Atlantic LLC for the topical treatment of clinically typical, visible or palpable actinic keratoses (AK) of the full face or balding scalp. The current clinical study is designed to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence of this formulation with the currently marketed Zyclara™ (imiquimod) cream, 3.75% formulation (Graceway Pharmaceuticals LLC).

Study Hypothesis: Safety and Tolerability will differ when treating multiple contiguous 25 cm2 treatment areas, as compared to individual 25 cm2 treatment areas.

The purpose of this study is : To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for PEP005 Topical Gel in patients with actinic keratoses. To evaluate patients for clinical safety To determine the systemic absorption of PEP005 Topical Gel
