Actinic Keratosis
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the new vehicle formulations containing ingenol mebutate are as safe and effective as Picato® gel 0.05% (it's current vehicle formulation) when applied to AK lesions on the forearm for two consecutive days.
Detailed description
This study will be run in 2 parts. The first part involves applying escalating concentrations of the new vehicle formulations containing ingenol mebutate to AKs on the forearms. Reactions and safety will be compared to Picato® (a registered and marketed ingenol mebutate gel) to ascertain if the new vehicle formulations are at least as safe and effective as Picato® . The purpose of part 2 is to select the concentration in the new formulation that produces this same, if not better response, as Picato® and with a similar or better safety profile.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety of 3 new vehicle formulations containing ingenol mebutate compared to Picato® gel applied topically once daily for two consecutive days to four separate treatment areas containing actinic keratosis on the forearm | 2 weeks | Safety data to be collected via CRF entries of AEs/SAEs and photographs. Relative skin reactions for comparison to Picato®. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate treatment responses on AK of selected concentration of ingenol mebutate containing vehicle formulation from Part 1 compared to Picato® gel as assessed by reduction in the number of selected AK lesions 2 months after treatment | 2 months | Assessed by visible and imaged lesion count |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety of the new ingenol mebutate vehicle formulation (ascertained in Part 1) compared to Picato® gel applied topically once daily for 2 consecutive days to 4 separate treatment areas containing actinic keratosis on the forearm | 8 weeks | Safety data to be collected via CRF entries of AEs/SAEs and photographs. Treatment responses assessed by Reflective confocal microscopy scoring of visible selected AK lesions |
