Active clinical trials for "Keratosis"

This study is designed to follow up patients, who have achieved complete clearance of AK lesions (lesion count of 0) at Day 57 in the PEP005-020 study, over a 12 month period to assess both recurrence of Actinic Keratosis (AK) lesions and long term safety in the selected treatment area.

The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of Levulan PDT in subjects with multiple actinic keratosis of the upper extremities who received treatment as part of the DUSA CP0108 study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for systemic exposure of aminolevulinic acid (ALA) when applied topically under occlusion, in a maximal use setting in patients with multiple actinic keratoses (AK) involving the upper extremities.

This is an observational longitudinal study, prospective, multicenter, performed in metropolitan France, on a representative sample of dermatologists. Data will be collected by physicians during 2 or 3 visits (according to their usual practice), from the patient file, questioning and clinical examination performed during these visits. Data about the patient's perception (satisfaction, perception of local skin reactions, quality of life) will be collected directly by the patient using self-administered questionnaires at inclusion visit, day 7 and 2 months later.

This is a prospective single-arm multicenter medical device study to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the treatment of actinic keratosis with a 5% potassium hydroxide solution. In total, 68 patients with actinic keratosis grade I/II, who meet all inclusion criteria and do not meet none of the exclusion criteria are to be enrolled and topically treated twice daily for up to 3 cycles of 14 days of treatment followed by 14 non-treatment days. The primary objective is treatment success at the individual end-of-treatment visit of all AK lesions present at baseline and treated with the investigational product. Beside this, adverse events will be collected at each visit and evaluated in order to investigate clinical safety.

This study is designed to follow up patients, who have participated in the PEP005-028 study and observed complete clearance of their Actinic Keratosis (AK) lesions, over a 12 month period to assess both recurrence of AK lesions and long term safety in the selected treatment area.

RATIONALE: Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum are more likely to develop skin lesions in sun-affected areas. These skin lesions, such as actinic keratoses, can develop into skin cancer. T4N5 liposome lotion may reduce actinic keratoses or other sun-induced skin damage in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum. PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to compare treatment using T4N5 liposome lotion with treatment using placebo in reducing actinic keratoses and other sun-induced skin damage in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum.

Interventional open label prospective and multicentre study conducted in Germany in subjects with thin or non-hyperkeratotic and non-pigmented multiple AKs in one anatomical area on the face (e.g., forehead or cheek or chin), excluding nose eyelids, lips and mucosa or balding scalp, using Luxerm® DL-PDT treatment.

This is a prospective, non-interventional study of adult patients prescribed topical treatment with ingenol mebutate gel (Picato®) as part of provision of care for the treatment of Non-hyperkeratotic, non-hypertrophic Actinic Keratosis (AK). Patients with complete clearance at 8 weeks will be followed for one year or until retreatment of AK in the area initially treated, whatever comes first. For patients with incomplete clearance in the treated area at 8 weeks the treatment strategy for this area will be recorded but no further follow-up will take place. The effectiveness, tolerability, adherence, patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with Picato® treatment will be evaluated.

Objective: To show how dermatologists treat actinic keratoses with imiquimod 5% cream in their daily clinical routine. Design: Prospective, non-interventional, observational, multicenter clinical study. Setting: Offices of 93 non hospital based Austrian dermatologists. Participants: Inclusion of the 463 patients into the study was solely based on the treatment decision of the dermatologist and the patients will. Interventions: No specific interventions except suggested time points of visits with pre-defined documentation forms. The therapy of actinic keratoses followed the imiquimod label (3x/week for 4 weeks, 4 therapy free weeks, another 3x/week for 4 weeks, when needed) Main outcome measure: Information about the typical imiquimod patient, therapeutic course, treatment decisions, safety and satisfaction of patients/dermatologists.
