Lentigo Solar Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of the Tolerance and the Mode of Administration of Cyto-selective Difluoroethane-based Cryotherapy in the Treatment of Brown Spots
CRYO (N° 21D588A0001) study aims to evaluate the tolerance and adjust the mode of administration of a cyto-selective difluoroethane-based cryotherapy in the treatment of brown spots. The study is a proof of concept on a small panel of subjects and has been designed to be interventional, monocentric, randomized and double blind. The study will include three device prototypes and a CE marked device (trademark URGO CRYOBEAUTY MAINS-BRAS-JAMBES) used as reference.
Solar lentigo is a harmless patch of darkened skin. It results from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which causes local proliferation of melanocytes and accumulation of melanin within the skin cells (keratinocytes). Solar lentigos or lentigines are very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years. CRYONOVE PHARMA develops and manufactures cryotherapy-based devices to improve skin appearance and treat lentigo spot. The mode of action of CRYONOVE devices consists to "provoke a selective cell death (melanocyte & melanosome) by thermic shock induced by a rapid decrease in skin temperature via the diffusion of difluoroethane gas to the skin". In this proof of concept study, the sponsor aims to assess the tolerance and the admininistration mode of cryogenic spray which could be used for lentigo treatment on the face. The study is exploratory, interventional, monocentric, randomized and double blind. Three prototypes of devices for face are compared to a CE marking device (trademark URGO CRYOBEAUTY MAINS-BRAS-JAMBES) used as reference. Twelve subjects with at least 4 spots on face are expected to be included, in order to evaluate a minimum of 48 brown spots. Volunteers are treated at T0 only with the reference device and at T0, T2, T4, T6 weeks with the prototype devices. The patient follow-up include 10 visits from D0 to D56. ;
