Exclusion criteria: - Known allergy against nonsteriodal antiphlogistics and/ or against excipients of the IMP - Presence of immunsuppression - Treatment with 5-fluorouracil, cyclosporine, retinoids, glycolic acid, imiquimod, trichloroacetic acid during the trial or 12 weeks before inclusion in the trial - Continuous treatment with nonsteroidal antiphlogistics with the exception of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (100 mg) for inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation - Planned treatment with photodynamic therapy during participation in the trial - Pregnancy or lactation - Participation in another clinical trial within 3 months before inclusion in the current trial

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change of visible keratosis during treatment period as assessed by the Investigator Global Improvement Index (IGII) and the Patient Global Improvement Index (PGII) - Tolerance of the investigated medicinal product - Adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During treatment period (90 days)

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: In this three-armed dose-finding trial 3 ibuprofen-gels (5%, 7.5% and 10% concentration of the active agent) shall be investigated with respect to safety and efficacy in order to identify the optimal ibuprofen concentration in the gel formulation. The main objective of the trial is to determine the optimal concentration of the active agent in the gel formulation as quantified by the change of the number of keratosis (assessed by the target lesion number score - TLNS) in pre-defined areas in a time period from inclusion in the trial until the end of treatment (3 months) or prior complete healing. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are the change of visible keratosis during the treatment period as assessed by the investigator global improvement index (IGII) and the patient global improvement index (PGII) using a scale ranging from -2 (serious worsening) to +4 (healed) as well as the local skin/ dermal tolerance of the IMP and, if so, adverse events.;Primary end point(s): Change of Target Lesion Number Score (mean) during treatment period;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During treatment period (90 days)
