Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary endpoint of the study is to demonstrate that AK are present before they are clinically visible, i.e. in a subclinical stage. Since on the basis of the research situation also already subclinical AK can proliferate into the dermis, it is possible that on chron. light-exposed skin with the application of Imiquimod undetected PE-Ca s can be recognized and treated at the same time).;Secondary Objective: Quantification of subclinical damage present due to UV exposure by graduating the severity of the immunomodulatory-induced inflammatory response.;Primary end point(s): Percentage of subjects in whom an immunomodulatory-induced inflammatory reaction occurs on chronically light-exposed uv-damaged facial skin after two weeks.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Quantity of immunomodulatory-induced inflammatory response assessed according to 4-level scale (none, discrete, moderate, strong).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks | — |
