Filter by: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.
The rationale of this study is to investigate the effects of topical diclofenac on tumor metabolism in the treatment of actinic keratoses in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Study hypothesis is that topical diclofenac lowers lactate level in skin biopsies of actinic keratoses. Planned number of patients is 38. This study is a monocenter study investigating the effects of 3% diclofenac in 2.5% hyaluronic acid gel on tumor metabolism in the treatment of actinic keratoses. Treatment duration is 3 months. Skin biopsies will be obtained before treatment, at the end of the treatment and four weeks after the treatment. Control biopsies at visit 1 and 3 are performed in healthy, sun damaged and untreated skin. Evaluation of efficacy will be performed at the end of the treatment and four weeks after the treatment. Duration of treatment is 3 months (±4 weeks). Approximately 0,5g Solaraze® 3% gel is applied on a 5cm x 5cm lesion. Solaraze® 3% gel is applied twice daily on the study lesions.
This study was to be conducted as a multi-centre, randomized, investigator-blinded, active and vehicle-controlled, intra-individual (split-face/scalp) non-inferiority (regarding efficacy) and superiority (regarding pain) study. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of NDL-PDT compared to c-PDT in terms of lesion complete response rate.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different therapies for actinic keratoses in organ transplant recipients with regard to efficacy and tolerability. The investiagtors are planning to examine treatment with Imiquimod 5% cream versus treatment with Methyl-aminolaevulinate 16% cream and subsequent irradiation with red light, so-called photodynamic therapy, in this patients' group. A secondary objective of our study is to investigate the reduction in the field cancerisation after both treatments using fluorescence diagnostic method and digital imaging.
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.
Zyclara™ (imiquimod) Cream, 3.75% is approved by the FDA for the treatment of actinic keratoses on the full face or balding scalp. Zyclara is applied once daily for two, 2-week treatment cycles separated by a 2-week no treatment applied interval. A generic imiquimod cream, 3.75% has been developed by Actavis Mid-Atlantic LLC for the topical treatment of clinically typical, visible or palpable actinic keratoses (AK) of the full face or balding scalp. The current clinical study is designed to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence of this formulation with the currently marketed Zyclara™ (imiquimod) cream, 3.75% formulation (Graceway Pharmaceuticals LLC).
The main objective of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Metvix® natural daylight photodynamic therapy with those of Metvix® conventional photodynamic therapy with Aktilite™ lamp in subjects with mild actinic keratoses (intra-individual comparison).
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, three treatment parallel study in which normal, healthy men and women (age 45-85) with actinic keratosis will be treated on the face once daily for two weeks with 5-Fluorouracil Cream 0.5%, Spear Pharmaceuticals (Generic), Carac® Cream 0.5% (Brand), or Cream Vehicle (Placebo). Actinic keratoses will be counted at the baseline visit and at the visit four weeks following cessation of treatment.
To determine and compare the safety and efficacy of broad area photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) following topical retinoid pre-treatment vs ALA-PDT with occlusion only (no pretreatment) in subjects with dorsal hand/forearm actinic keratoses, with an incubation time of 60 minutes, using blue light.
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.
