Active clinical trials for "Keratosis, Actinic"

The main purpose of this trial is to demonstrate the predictive value of the clinical diagnosis of clearance of Actinic Keratoses after treatment with Ingenol Mebutate using histopathological examination as the standard.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, three treatment parallel study in which normal, healthy men and women (age 45-85) with actinic keratosis will be treated on the face once daily for two weeks with 5-Fluorouracil Cream 0.5%, Spear Pharmaceuticals (Generic), Carac® Cream 0.5% (Brand), or Cream Vehicle (Placebo). Actinic keratoses will be counted at the baseline visit and at the visit four weeks following cessation of treatment.

Once or twice daily 12 week treatment in patients with Actinic Keratosis randomized to treatment in one of four arms.

This clinical study aims aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of SDL-PDT (simulated daylight Photodynamic Therapy) using the Dermaris in patients treated for AK lesions of the scalp at our medical dermatology center using only 35 minutes low-intensity light exposure.

This study evaluates the implementation of the General Practitioners guidelines 'Suspicious Skin Lesions' and investigated whether their publication and implementation has led to a reduction in the proportion of referrals of low-risk patients with actinic keratosis to secondary care, after publication of the General Practitioners guidelines and implementation activities.

A randomised, multi-center study of daylight mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) with Metvix in patients with multiple actinic keratosis on the face and/or scalp.

The purpose of this research study is to measure adherence to the study drug (Carac) for the treatment of actinic keratoses.

Seborrheic keratoses (SK's) are very common, but harmless skin lesions that commonly appear during adult life. Patients with seborrheic keratoses frequently desire treatment due to symptoms of itching and irritation or for cosmetic purposes. Seborrheic keratoses can be easily removed and have been treated in a number of different ways. Two of the simplest and most successful ways to remove seborrheic keratoses are cryosurgery and curettage. The investigators are conducting this study to see which of these two treatments has the best result. Approximately 24-30 people will take part in this research study at the Hershey Medical Center.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the use of sunlight instead of red light during photodynamic therapy of actinic keratoses using methyl aminolevulinate

The evaluation on the diagnostic accuracy of actinic keratosis recognition by general practitioners before and after participation on an e-learning program.
