Active clinical trials for "Lentigo"

This study will conduct a split-face and -body randomized control trial to compare lidocaine 2.5%/prilocaine 2.5% topical anesthetic (LPTA), lidocaine 7%/tetracaine 7% topical anesthetic (LTTA), and placebo vechicle (PV) on patients' pain perceptions with Q-switched 532nm laser for the treatment of lentigines and/or photorejuvenation.Subjects will fill out a pain score on a visual analog scale (VAS) with 0 being no pain and 10 being most pain after each treatment area is completed.

This phase II trial is studying how well gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

CS5_1 study aim to evaluate the tolerance and to adjust the mode of administration of 4 different conditions of cryotherapy treatments applied on the brown spots of the face and hand with 3 prototypes. Each treatment corresponds to a combination of a specific sequence of a cryogenic spray and of a frequency of application. The study will evaluate 3 prototypes : Prototype 1 : from (815-v1 001) to (815-v1 100) Prototype 2 : from (815-v1 101) to (815-v1 150) Prototype 3 : from (815-v1 151) to (815-v1 200)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two laser systems for improvement of lentigines on the hands.

This study investigates the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of lentigo maligna (LM). Hyperspectral imaging system (HIS) will be used to determine the margins of LM and to rule out possible invasion. Participants will receive photodynamic therapy three times consecutively with intervals of two weeks using 5-aminolevulinic acid nanoemulsion (BF-200 ALA, Ameluz®) as a light sensitizing cream. Four weeks after last photodynamic therapy the lentigo maligna lesion will be excised surgically from the skin. Result of the treatment is assessed with histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of removed tissue specimen.

This study evaluates the performance of "CRYOBEAUTY MAINS", a Cyto-selective Cryotherapy based on Difluoroethane as a treatment of Solar Lentigines in 30 volunteers. Only one application of "CRYOBEAUTY MAINS" in one hand (right or left hand according to the randomization code).

This phase II trial is studying how well AZD2171 works in treating patients with recurrent or stage IV melanoma. AZD2171 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Solar lentigos or lentigines are harmless patch of darkened skin, of different sizes and colors, due to the exposure to UV radiation. They are very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years old. Solar lentigines appears as clusters of similar lesions on sun-exposed sites, such as the face or the back of the hands. Conventional cryotherapy is increasingly used to improve the skin appearance and especially to treat lentigo spots. However, the application of conventional cryotherapy is followed by temporary side effects including pain at application, hypo- and hyperpigmentation, crust, scars, burns, erythema... for a few days after administration and that can persist during several months. In this context, the sponsor has developed a treatment using cyto-selective cryotherapy, that treats only the melanocytes responsable of brown spots while preserving other cells of the epidermis. Several sequences of pulverization of cryogenic gas have been designed. It seems interesting for the sponsor to study some ways of applications of the selected sequences. i.e. 5 conditions evaluated) that could be used for the treatment of lentigos with the same clinical benefit and with better safety results for patients . (CS4_2) proof of concept, interventional, monocentric, randomized and double blinded study, aims to evaluate the tolerance and the mode of administration of cyto-selective difluoroethane-based cryotherapy in the treatment of brown spots. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the tolerance and to adjust the mode of administration of 3 different cryotherapy treatments (3 prototypes) applied on the brown spots of the face. Each treatment corresponds to a specific sequence of a cryogenic spray.

To investigate the benefit of the application of topical high potency steroid on the incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after laser treatment.

This study is designed as a randomized, prospective study to test the efficacy of imiquimod plus tazarotene in the treatment of LM. Eligible and consented patients will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: 1) topical imiquimod group, or 2) topical imiquimod combined with topical tazarotene group. All patients will undergo a staged surgical excision with rush permanent sections to confirm negative histologic margins. This will be followed by a surgical repair of the defect and long-term follow-up of five years to rule out recurrences. Both groups will have a polygonal excision using 2mm margins per stage.
