Filter by:Interventional, monocentric, national, internal placebo-controlled, prospective pilot study, consisting of two parts, A (single-blinded) and B (open) to assess Efficacy of Tirbanibulin for the treatment of AK on the back of the hand. In part A, eligible subjects receive Tirbanibulin on the left hand and placebo on the right hand for 5 d in a single-blinded manner. Safety and efficacy are assessed at day 8 (± 1 d) (3 days after the end of treatment (EoT+3) and day 57 (± 7 d) after the start of the treatment. Pictures will be taken at baseline, 8 d and 57 d (± 7 d) as per protocol and optional during unscheduled visits.
The purpose of this study is to prove the safety and efficacy of Levulan Kerastick (aminolevulinic acid HCl) for Topical Solution 20% followed by 10 J/cm2 of blue light delivered at 10 mW/cm2 or 20 mW/cm2 in the treatment of multiple actinic keratosis on the face or balding scalp (the Treatment Area), utilizing a 14-18 hour incubation period.
In this study, daylight PDT will be administered to interested patients at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center. Daylight PDT has been shown to be an effective and painless alternative to traditional PDT. Daylight PDT involves application of the photosensitizer in the physician's office followed by exposure to daylight.
This proposal describes a pilot study to gather preliminary evidence of efficacy, tolerability and toxicity of oral PLE among a high-risk skin cancer population for the prevention of Actinic keratosis (AKs) and keratinocytes (KCs) to gain insight into optimal methods for recruitment, intervention development, data collection, and promoting protocol adherence prior to conducting a fully powered trial. The primary clinical outcome is AKs as measured by a clinical dermatologist, with skin cancer as a secondary clinical outcome. The investigators will also assess histologic markers of Ultra Violet (UV) damage, which have previously been shown to be reduced with oral PLE use in human studies, namely formation of UV-induced cyclo pyrimidine dimer positive cells and number of sunburn cells among epidermal keratinocytes. Results generated from this proposal will form the foundation of a fully powered clinical trial of the effect of PLE on the risk of AKs and KCs. The results may also provide information about this promising dietary supplement which may provide extra protection for a high-risk skin cancer population.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and risk of adverse events of electrocautery versus 532 nm Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for the treatment of flat seborrheic keratoses. This study is a pilot study designed to determine feasibility of these procedures.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of ingenol mebutate compared to cryotherapy (freezing of the tissue) for the treatment of face and scalp skin lesions.
The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment of skin growths called actinic keratoses (AK) with 5-ALA PDT, an FDA-approved treatment, versus treatment with other conventionally used FDA-approved agents such as cryotherapy, Imiquimod, or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
Evaluating safety and efficacy of the use of topical retinoid with photodynamic therapy for the treatment of actinic keratoses.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of celecoxib may be an effective way to prevent actinic keratoses. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to determine the effectiveness of celecoxib in preventing skin cancer in patients who have actinic keratoses.
