NCT02149342

Brief Summary

This pilot study compares two photosensitizers, hexylaminolaevulinate (HAL) and methylaminolaevulinate (MAL), in treatment of actinic keratoses. Study is conducted using randomized split-face design. Efficacy is assessed clinically, and histologically at 3 and 12 months. Pain during and after treatments and adverse reactions at one week are recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Histological Lesion Clearance

    Punch biopsies were taken symmetrically on both treatment fields from equally graded \>6 mm AKs prior to treatment and again at 3 months, blinded observer (pathologist). HE- and p53-stainings. Samples not fulfilling the criteria of an AK were defined as healthy or completely cleared. The p53 reactivity expressed as average percentage of positive nuclei in three consecutive high power fields from the region of highest reactivity (\<10 % normal)

    Baseline, 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Clinical Lesion Clearance

    Baseline, 3 months

  • Adverse Reactions

    One week

  • Pain Assesment (Visual Analog Scale)

    12 hours

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Clearance of Field Cancerization in Hyperspectral Images

    3 months

Limitations and Caveats

As the study was conducted as a single center pilot study, the results should be confirmed in a larger trial also valuing the patient complete response rates. A further limitation was we did not record light-doses.
