Filter by:The objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SM-020 gel 1.0% in subjects with Seborrheic Keratosis (SK) compared to vehicle gel. It is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial. Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will apply their assigned investigational product twice daily for 4 consecutive weeks. Subjects will be followed for 12-weeks post final application for a total of approximately 16-weeks of required participation in the study.
This prospective study aims to evaluate the responsiveness of the validated investigator global assessment (IGA) and composite area index score for keratosis pilaris by data collection through treatment and scoring sessions held at a private practice and relevant statistical analysis.
The increasing incidence of actinic keratosis (AK), morbus Bowen (MB) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the patients with often multiple lesions and the disadvantages of invasive diagnostics show the need for an accurate non-invasive diagnostic tool for the determination of invasive growth in AK and MB. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive scanner creating cross-sectional images of the skin, to a depth of 1-1,5 mm based on light waves. Until now, OCT has been proposed as non-invasive diagnostic tool for basal cell carcinomas. Although the diagnostic value of OCT for detection and sub-typing of basal cell carcinomas has already been demonstrated, it is unclear whether OCT can discriminate between invasive and non-invasive lesions (AK, MB and cSCCs). There are some studies that describe OCT characteristics of AK, MB and cSCCs, however, these characteristics have a lot of overlap (8-13). To date there are no clearly distinctive OCT features to distinguish between AK, MB and cSCCs. This study aims to investigate the value of OCT in discriminating between the presence and absence of invasion in lesions with clinical suspicion for invasion. Two experienced OCT-assessors will evaluate the OCT scans independently. The OCT assessors are blinded to the histological diagnosis of the lesions (invasive or non-invasive), which is used as golden standard. A 5-point Likert scale is used for OCT assessment. 1. Definitely not invasive 2. Probably not invasive 3. Unknown, probably invasive/probably not invasive 4. Probably invasive 5. Definitely invasive In addition to completing the Likert-scale, assessors are asked to describe the presence/absence of predefined OCT characteristics (a.o. hyperkeratosis and the presence of the dermo-epidermal junction) In case of disagreement between the independent assessors, the OCT scan will be re-assessed in a consensus meeting.
The evaluation on the diagnostic accuracy of actinic keratosis recognition by general practitioners before and after participation on an e-learning program.
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.
This study investigates 5-fluorouracil cream prescription trends by general practitioners for the treatment of field changes of actinic keratosis over the years 2016-2021. The aim is to analyse whether the publication of the multidisciplinary guideline on suspect skin lesions for general practitioners in 2017 has made an impact in the prescribing behaviour of general practitioners.
This blinded controlled 2-year study on 120 patients with 2 or more actinic keratoses, compare the efficacy and tolerability of pulsed dye-laser- mediated photodynamic therapy compared to conventional photodynamic therapy and fractional-laser assisted daylight photodynamic therapy compared to daylight photodynamic therapy.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled intervention trial on patients with actinic keratosis.
Actinic keratosis (AK), also known as solar keratosis, is a common skin condition characterised by abnormal growth of skin cells caused by long-term sun exposure. AK is considered to be a precancerous lesion, and is therefore commonly treated to reduce the risk of malignant transformation into skin cancer. The trial is a randomised, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, dose-comparison trial in which adult subjects with AK grade 1 or 2 will be treated with AVX001 silicone-based gel in doses of 1% or 3% or with a gel vehicle for a 4-week field-directed treatment period. Subjects will be followed up for 8 weeks after the treatment period. The primary objective is to evaluate the local tolerability of daily applications of AVX001 gel in doses of 1% or 3% and compare with vehicle.
This is a first-in-humans adaptive design open label trial to explore the safety and efficacy of SM-020. Multiple dosing cohorts will be enrolled. The first cohort will have a two-week treatment period of twice daily applications followed by a four-week follow-up period. Based on the results at any time from the first and subsequent cohorts, additional cohorts will explore different dosing regimens.
