Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine whether CUV1647 implants can reduce the period of phototoxicity experienced by patients who have undergone photodynamic therapy with porfimer sodium.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect of CUV1647 treatment on the quality of life. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CUV1647 by measuring treatment-emergent adverse events.;Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy endpoint: The first day on which patients are free from dermal symptoms following evaluation of photo toxicity Primary Safety Endpoint: Type and incidence of treatment emergent adverse events.
