Complete clinical clearance (CCC) per fieldDay 42
Change in AK-FAS (AK field assessment scale)Day 42AK Grade 0-IV, the higher the number the more % area covered by AK
Investigator global score (IGS) of each fieldDay 126This is a 7 point scale from -2 (significantly worse) to +4 (completely cured), higher values represent a better outcome
