Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study compares two photosensitizers, hexylaminolaevulinate (HAL) and methylaminolaevulinate (MAL), in treatment of actinic keratoses. Study is conducted using randomized split-face design. Efficacy is assessed clinically, and histologically at 3 and 12 months. Pain during and after treatments and adverse reactions at one week are recorded.


Clinical Trial Description

Study recruites 16-20 voluuntering patients with symmetrical actinic damage on face or scalp. Treatment sites are randomized to receive either hexylaminolaevulinate or methylaminolaevulinate ( 16% MAL) as photosensitizers (0.25mm-thick layer). In the first study year (2014) we use a very-low concentration 0.2% HAL, and during second study period (2015) we will continue with a low concentration 2% HAL for dose finding. Pre-treatment procedures include application of sunscreen for 15 minutes and curettage of the treatment area. Illumination is performed using 2 hours daylight-exposure. Efficacy is assessed clinically, and histologically at 3 and 12 months by blinded observers. Pain during and after treatments and adverse reactions at one week are recorded. ;
