Patient and Clinician Reported Outcomes for Tirbanibulin Effectiveness and Safety in Actinic Keratosis

A Prospective Cohort Study of Patients With Actinic Keratosis (AK) in the Face or Scalp Treated With Tirbanibulin and Followed for 24 Weeks Post Treatment-initiation. Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Clinical Profile of Patients Will be Gathered for Descriptive Analyses of Patient Outcomes Over the 24-week Study Observation Period

Conditions

Keratosis, Actinic

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROs) in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among subjects with actinic keratosis (AK).

Interventions

Participants will be treated with tirbanibulin ointment 1% (2.5 mg tirbanibulin in 250 mg) as 1 single-dose packet per application, for 5 consecutive days.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Domain Scores Using the Patient Reported Outcome Skindex-16 Instrument at Week 8Baseline, Week 8Skindex-16 is a validated dermatological instrument to measure dermatology-specific Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The Skindex-16 consisted of 16 items that were divided into three domains: Symptoms (four items, range 0-24), Emotions (seven items, range 0-42), and Functioning (five items, range 0-30). Participant were asked to respond on how much their skin condition bothered them in the week prior to administration of the Skindex-16. Each item was scored on a scale ranged from 0 (never bothered) to 6 (always bothered), where higher score indicated continued/more botheration. Item scores are transformed to 0 to 100 scale, and domain scores are calculated as the average of the item scores comprising the domain. Net positive changes in respective subscale scoring indicates improvement in that particular Quality of life assessment (i.e., Symptoms, Emotions, Functioning), while net negative changes in scoring indicates decrease in that particular Quality of life assessment.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Investigator Global Assement (IGA) Success at Week 8At Week 8IGA success was defined as achieving a rating of 'completely cleared' (0) or 'partially cleared' (1) in IGA of AK status at Week 8. The IGA is 5-point scale that assessed the severity of actinic keratosis, with scores ranged from 0 (completely clear) to 4 (not cleared): 0 = completely cleared (100% clearance); 1 = partially cleared (\>=75% clearance); 2 = moderately cleared (50% to 74% clearance); 3 = minimally cleared (\<50% clearance); 4 = not cleared (0% clearance), where higher score indicated higher severity.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 8

Population: FAS included all participants who received at least one dose of tirbanibulin during the study observation period of 8-weeks related to primary endpoint, as part of usual care and had at least some data pertaining to the key variables studied at relevant timepoints, post-baseline. Here, number analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable at each specified category.
