Clinical Trial Summary

Specific Aim 1: To determine the impact of spectral composition of the VL+UVA1 source on the associated biologic effects. Specific Aim 2: To investigate differential responses of subjects with different skin phototypes to VL+UVA1, including immediate and delayed erythema and pigmentation, and photodamage.

Description:

The design of the study consists of a total of 4 visits within a two week period. The first visit consists of VL+UVA1 irradiation with different light source on the opposite site of patients' back. A combination of non-invasive measurements (e.g., photography, redness and color changes of the skin using colorimetry and diffuse reflectance spectrometry) will be conducted throughout the 4 visits. Biopsies will be taken at various time points.

Primary	Erythema assessment for all 14 participants	Both colorimetry and DRS non-invasively provide quantitative objective information regarding changes in skin color by quantifying skin hyperpigmentation and erythema as L* and a* by colorimeter, and as melanin, oxy-hemoglobin concentration by DRS respectively. ITA can be derived from L* and b* by using ITA = [arctan (L* - 50)/b*] X 180/?)].; Colorimetry: Decrease in L* and ITA indicates greater pigmentation. Increase in a* indicates increase in Erythema. All these parameters are relative with arbitrary units DRS: Increase in Melanin content will indicate increase in pigmentation and increase in oxy-hemoglobin will indicate increase in erythema.
