What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Metvix (methyl aminolevulinate)Drug

    Metvix (methyl aminolevulinate) (MAL), Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), cream, 160 mg/g. MAL cream will be applied for 3 hours then will be removed. The target area will then be exposed to red light (using a large-field LED light source: Aktilite 128) for 7 to 10 minutes at a dosage of 37 J/cm².
