Selected treatment area lesions that have atypical clinical appearance (e.g., hypertrophic, hyperkeratotic or cutaneous horn) or recalcitrant disease (e.g., did not respond to AK treatment in the previous) 3. History of SCC, BCC, malignant melanoma or other neoplasia in the selected treatmentarea 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of daily application for 3 consecutive days of ingenol mebutate gel 0.015% with the efficacy of diclofenac sodium gel 3% for 90 days in subjects with AK on the face or scalp.;Secondary Objective: To compare the efficacy of up to two treatment courses of ingenol mebutate gel 0.015% (daily application for 3 consecutive days) with the efficacy of diclofenac sodium gel 3% for 90 days in subjects with AK on the face or scalp.;Primary end point(s): Complete clearance of all AKs in the treatment field at Week 8 for ingenol mebutate gel 0.015% and Week 17 for diclofenac sodium gel 3%;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation at week 8 for ingenol mebutate gel 0.015%. Evaluation at week 17 for diclofenac sodium gel 3%.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): As secondary response criteria, complete clearance at Week 17 for diclofenac sodium gel 3% will be compared with the following three measures of complete clearance in the ingenol mebutate 0.015% group: - Complete clearance of all AKs in the treatment field after one or two ingenol mebutate treatment courses. Subjects receiving only one treatment course are evaluated at Week 8 and subjects receiving two treatment courses are evaluated at Week 17. - Complete clearance of all AKs in the treatment field at Week 17 - Complete clearance of all AKs in the treatment field at Week 17 following only one ingenol mebutate treatment course. Subjects receiving a second ingenol mebutate treatment course are considered non-cleared.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation at week 17 for diclofenac sodium gel 3% (all secondary endpoints). For ingenol mebutate gel 0.015%: 1st secondary endpoint: Evaluation at week 8 for subjects receiving one treatment course, evaluation at week 17 for subjects receiving two treatment courses. 2nd secondary endpoint: Evaluation at week 17. 3rd secondary endpoint: Evaluation at week 17 for subjects receiving one treatment course, evaluation at week 8 for subjects receiving two treatment courses.
