NCT00308867

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate how the efficacy and tolerability of PD P 506 A-PDT relate to the commonly used cryosurgery in the treatment of mild to moderate AK lesions located on the head. To be able to quantify the effect the patient will be allocated to one of three treatments: PD P 506 A-PDT, cryosurgery or placebo-PDT.
