Active clinical trials for "Keratosis"

This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of solamargine of SR-T100 gel. As safety parameters, adverse events, and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature) will be recorded.

This trial will be conducted to explore the biological effects in the skin following treatment with PEP005 Gel, 0.05% administered for two consecutive days, assessed by histology.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AO+ Mist administered daily for 4 weeks to improve the appearance of skin afflicted with keratosis pilaris.

The aim is to evaluate efficacy and safety of three different dosing regimens of Limtop in a study involving 96 patients with actinic keratosis on the head or face.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of prospective patient education on patient satisfaction with administration of topical 5% 5-fluorouracil cream for the treatment of actinic keratosis involving the face, scalp, upper chest, dorsal hands and forearms. Specifically, this study aims to determine if prospective patient viewing of an educational video delineating treatment effects and expectations improves patient satisfaction and treatment completion rates.

Transient local skin reactions with topical Actinic Keratosis treatments such as 5-FluoroUracil (5-FU) often lead to non-adhesion from patients and thus to treatment failure. In regards to 5-FU treatment, these local reactions are related to the pharmacological action of the molecule. The current therapeutic challenge is to reduce the local reactions induced by 5-FU without interfering with its efficacy, in particular by the use of an emollient cream. The aim of the present study is to investigate how the use of an emollient, namely Dexeryl, could improve the local skin reactions occurring during 4 weeks of a 4% 5-FU treatment.

This trial will be conducted to explore the biological effects in the skin following treatment with PEP005 Gel, 0.05% administered for two consecutive days, assessed by reflectance confocal microscopy.

The purpose of this phase 1 trial is to investigate the local tolerability on the finger following exposure to PEP005 Gel 0.015% or 0.05% and hand washing once daily, for 2 or 3 consecutive days.

Actinic keratoses (AK) are common cutaneous lesions associate with chronic ultraviolet radiation exposure. While most authorities consider AK as a pre-malignant lesion, some consider it as an incipient squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Among the current therapies for the treatment of AK are excisional surgery, cryosurgery, electrodesiccation and curettage, topical chemotherapy and light therapies. Cryosurgery is considered the gold standard for therapy, however as with other lesion-directed therapies, cryosurgery does not treat subclinical lesions in the surrounding skin. Ingenol mebutate is the active compound in the sap from Euphorbia peplus L. (E. peplus). Topical ingenol mebutate treatment has been approved for the treatment of AKs. The goal of AK therapy for all physicians is to provide an effective, tissue-sparing treatment with good cosmetic results. Ingenol mebutate gel 0.015% has shown to not only have a high clearance rate but also a transient localized inflammatory skin response that resolves quickly without sequelae. However, one common fear about ingenol mebutate is that it's mechanism of action is purely destructive to both AKs and healthy skin, and that retreatment would produce an equally, if not more, caustic result on the skin such as severe erosion, scaling, and erythema. It is our hope to debunk this misconception and demonstrate that reapplication of a second cycle of ingenol mebutate would result in lower LSR scores compared to the LSR in the first cycle of application. We plan to treat 20 subjects. Each qualifying subject will have at least 4-8 non-hypertrophic AKs in a 25 cm2 treatment area on the face or scalp. All subjects will be treated with two cycles of ingenol mebutate 0.015%. The first cycle will be started on Day 1, and the second cycle will be started on Day 29 (four weeks apart). Subjects will utilize the once daily for three days regimen for both cycles.

The purpose of this study is to correlate pathological features from specimens in order to determine if this new molecular diagnostic technique can be used to detect risk of skin cancer.
