Clinical Trial Summary

Comparison of treatment efficacy and safety of pretreatment with ablative fractional laser versus microdermabrasion combined with large-area photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate for actinic keratoses


Description:

For each study participant, two test areas (A and B) are demarcated in the same anatomical region, with each area containing no less than 5 actinic keratoses (AKs). Test areas are randomized to receive skin pretreatment of EITHER ablative fractional laser OR microdermabrasion prior to photodynamic therapy using methyl aminolevulinate. Efficacy, local skin reactions and safety of both test areas are evaluated over a 12-15 week follow up period.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Patients with two skin areas of at least 50 cm2 with a minimum of 5 actinic keratoses (AKs) grade I-III, chronically sun damaged "field" changes in one of the following anatomical regions: face, scalp, upper chest. - Patients who have given written informed consent and are believed to be capable of following the study protocol. - Fertile women must have a negative pregnancy test (urine-hCG) at the time of inclusion and use anti-contraception (oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, gestagen depot injection, subdermal implantation, vaginal ring, transdermal depot bandage or sterilisation) during the study. Exclusion Criteria: - Patients that have within the last month received local treatment in the test areas. - Pregnant or nursing patients. - Patients with porphyria - Patients with skin cancer, keratoacanthoma, or other infiltrating tumors within the test areas. - Patients with a tendency to develop hypertrophic scars or keloids. - Patients with a known allergy to Metvix cream - Patients that are believe unlikely to follow the study protocol.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Ablative Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser
One 50 cm2 test area was randomized to pretreatment using a fractional 2940 nm Er:YAG laser (Joule®; Sciton Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA). To remove hyperkeratosis, a fully-ablative 4 mm handpiece was optionally applied, followed by a single pass of a fractional Profrax 430 handpiece for all AKs. Subsequent field treatment consisted of a single pass of the Profrax 430 handpiece over the entire test area. Immediately after pretreatment, a 0.5 mm layer of methyl aminolevulinate (Metvix ® cream 16%; Galderma, Paris, France) was applied. After 30 minutes, patients were exposed to 2 hours of ambient daylight, according to approved procedure. After light exposure, cream was wiped off and test areas were covered for the remainder of the day.
Microdermabrasion
Another adjacent 50 cm2 test area was exposed to microdermabrasion using an MD pad with 58.5 µm-diameter particles (Ambu® Skin Prep Pads 2121M; Ambu A/S, Ballerup, Denmark). Lesion-directed treatment consisted of an increasing number of swipes concentrated to AK lesions. During field treatment, multiple swipes were applied in perpendicular directions over the entire test area. Immediately after pretreatment, a 0.5 mm layer of methyl aminolevulinate (Metvix ® cream 16%; Galderma, Paris, France) was applied. After 30 minutes, patients were exposed to 2 hours of ambient daylight, according to approved procedure. After light exposure, cream was wiped off and test areas were covered for the remainder of the day.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Complete Clearance (%) of Actinic Keratoses (AKs) Percentage clearance of baseline actinic keratoses (AKs), determined by the ratio of AK lesions that are clinically resolved 12-15 weeks after treatment compared to the AK number at baseline. 12-15 weeks post-treatment
Secondary New Actinic Keratoses (AKs) Number of new actinic keratoses (AKs) identified clinically 12-15 weeks after treatment and that were not present at the baseline evaluation. 12-15 weeks post-treatment
Secondary Severity of Local Skin Reactions (LSRs) Local skin reactions scale (min:0; better and max: 3; worse) used to grade each of the following parameters: erythema, edema, crusting, pustules, ulceration and scabbing, scaling.
The severity of each evaluated clinically on a 4-point scale where 0 = none, 1= mild, 2= moderate and 3= severe.
With 7 parameters the sum of all scores will produce a maximum composite score of 21.
Day 3-6 post treatment
Secondary Degree of Sun Damage Sun damage is evaluated clinically on a 4 point scale where 0 = none, 1= mild, 2= moderate and 3= severe sun damage. 12-15 weeks post-treatment
Secondary Treatment-related Pain Patient-reported pain during treatments is evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain. during treatment (day 0)
Secondary Treatment-related Side Effects Side effects are evaluated over the course 12-15 weeks following treatment. In addition to unforeseen adverse events, specific side effects including the clinical presence of infection, scarring, hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation are recorded. up to 12-15 weeks post-treatment
Secondary Investigator-reported Cosmesis (Clinical Evaluation) Cosmetic appearance of treated areas is evaluated by investigators clinically (scores on a scale) using a 4-point scale where 0 = none, 1= acceptable, 2= good and 3= excellent outcome. 12-15 weeks post-treatment
Secondary Patient-reported Cosmesis Cosmetic appearance is evaluated by patients at the end of the study (scores on a scale) using a 4 point scale where 0 = none, 1= acceptable, 2= good and 3= excellent 12-15 weeks post-treatment
Secondary Patient Pretreatment Preference Patients were asked to report which pretreatment they preferred: Laser, microdermabrasion, or no preference 12-15 weeks post-treatment
