Active clinical trials for "Keratosis"

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 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 trial is to investigate the prevention of actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinomas by local application of MD-3511356 in comparison to standard sun protection measures in immunosuppressed solid organ transplant recipients.

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.

At the end of the study, safety and efficacy outcome measures will be compared to determine a) if dosing with Generic Imiquimod cream, 5% is therapeutically equivalent to the currently marketed Aldara (imiquimod) cream, 5% and b) if both imiquimod 5% creams are superior in comparison to the Vehicle cream.

Actinic keratoses on the face are often numerous and widespread. The application of Methylaminolevulinate (MAL) on individual lesions followed by the application of a plastic film on each lesion is difficult and takes time for subjects with many actinic keratoses. The waiting period of 3 hours between MAL cream application and red light exposure is also long for patients. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with MAL with a shorter cream application time (90 minutes) and when MAL is applied on the entire face without the plastic film.

This Phase IIb study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of 0.005%, 0.01% and 0.015% PEP005 Topical Gel when applied to an area of skin, containing 4-8 AK lesions on the face or scalp.

This Phase II study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of PEP005 (ingenol mebutate) Gel, 0.05% when applied in a maximal use setting to the dorsal aspect of the forearm in patients with actinic keratoses

Primary objectives: effect of IDEA-070 compared to placebo on pain and inflammation induced by PDT. The primary objective is to detect a statistically significant difference of pain and inflammation induced by PDT in test areas treated with IDEA-070 compared to placebo-treated areas.
