Conditions

Actinic Keratoses

Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Metvix® natural daylight photodynamic therapy with those of Metvix® conventional photodynamic therapy in subjects with mild actinic keratoses (intra-individual comparison)

Interventions

DRUGMetvix®
PROCEDUREPhotodynamic Therapy Blue light

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that utilizes a photosensitizing molecule (Metvix) and a blue light source to activate the applied drug

PROCEDUREPhotodynamic Therapy Daylight

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that utilizes a photosensitizing molecule (Metvix) and a the day light to activate the applied drug

Mean Change From Baseline in Total Number of Treated Mild Lesions Per Side at Week 12Baseline and Week 12The number of lesions is assessed at baseline (before treatment) and 12 weeks later. The difference in lesions is recorded for each patient. The mean of disappeared lesions are then calculated for all patients.

Outcome results

Primary

Mean Change From Baseline in Total Number of Treated Mild Lesions Per Side at Week 12

The number of lesions is assessed at baseline (before treatment) and 12 weeks later. The difference in lesions is recorded for each patient. The mean of disappeared lesions are then calculated for all patients.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)Dispersion
DaylightMean Change From Baseline in Total Number of Treated Mild Lesions Per Side at Week 1219.6 number of lesionsStandard Deviation 6
Conventional TreatmentMean Change From Baseline in Total Number of Treated Mild Lesions Per Side at Week 1220.0 number of lesionsStandard Deviation 6.9
Comparison: Main analysis:~* nbDPKAdispM3 the number of KA disappeared at M3 after treatment with DPDT compared to the inclusion layer,~* nbCPKAdispM3 the number of KA disappeared at M3 after treatment with conventional blue light,~The primary endpoint is:~differenceM3 = nbDPKAdispM3 - nbCPKAdispM3 The main analysis will consist of a signed Wilcoxon rank test for matched data testing whether difference M3 is significantly different from 0p-value: 0.846Wilcoxon (Mann-Whitney)
Secondary

Lesions Disappearance Rate at 1 Months From Baseline.

The number of lesions is assessed at baseline (before treatment) and 1 month later. The difference in lesions is recorded for each patient. The rate is the quotient: difference in lesions between baseline and at 1 month /nubmer of lesions at baseline

Lesions Disappearance Rate at 6 Months From Baseline.

The number of lesions is assessed at baseline (before treatment) and 6 month later. The difference in lesions is recorded for each patient. The rate is the quotient: difference in lesions between baseline and at 6 month /nubmer of lesions at baseline
