Active clinical trials for "Keratosis, Actinic"

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PDT for treatment of mild to severe actinic keratosis on the face and scalp in the expanded treatment field using 3 tubes of BF-200 ALA 10% gel (Ameluz®) in conjunction with the BF-RhodoLED® XL PDT lamp.

In this clinical one-site investigation the performance and safety of a skin preparation device will be evaluated for removing hyperkeratotic skin prior to further medical treatment. Comfort and pain during skin preparation, as well as performance and safety of device, will be compared to comparators on separate skin areas for every subject.

Guidelines for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of actinic keratosis recommend pretreatment with curettage. The impact of curettage on the treatment effect is, however, not known. The present study aimed to evaluate whether daylight-PDT without curettage would reduce treatment effect compared to daylight-PDT with curettage.

This study evaluates the potential usefulness of photodynamic therapy with PD P 506 A in patients with actinic keratosis on the upper extremities for the first time.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BF-200 ALA (Ameluz) versus placebo in the field-directed treatment of mild to moderate actinic keratosis with photodynamic therapy (PDT) when using the BF-RhodoLED lamp.

The purpose of this study is to compare safety and efficacy of Perrigo's drug product compared to an FDA approved drug product in the treatment of actinic keratosis.

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 in subjects with mild actinic keratoses (intra-individual comparison)

Sequential therapy with cryosurgery and ingenol mebutate may optimize the treatment of hypertrophic AKs and also treat non-hypertrophic AKs in this anatomic location. Furthermore, use of ingenol mebutate will also be evaluated for potential treatment of subclinical lesions.

Background: 5% 5-fluorouracil cream (5-FU) is a well-established treatment for actinic keratosis (AK) and ingenol mebutate gel (IMB) is a new topical field therapy. Objective: To compare tolerability and safety of IMB with 5-FU for the treatment of facial AKs. Methods: Open-label, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial with 100 patients with AKs within 25-cm2 contiguous field on the face. IMB was applied daily for three consecutive days. 5-FU was applied twice a day for four weeks. Treatment effect was evaluated at baseline and on days 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36 and 43, considering ITT populations.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Levulan photodynamic therapy (PDT) is safe and effective in the treatment of actinic keratoses (AK) on the face, following treatment with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.
