About this study

Official title: Gene Expression in Renal Transplant Patients With Field Actinic Keratosis Undergoing Metvix® PDT

The aim of this study is to determine possible molecular changes on large scale gene expression profiling after treatment with Metvix photodynamic therapy (PDT) of actinic keratoses (AK) and cancerised field in renal transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the whole target area defined by the investigator will be treated by Metvix PDT: this means that both lesions and sub-clinical lesions will be exposed to Metvix PDT. Biopsies will be performed in both regions: lesional and peri-lesional ones. This will allow us to compare pre and post treatment molecular changes that occurred in these regions and so to evaluate if Metvix PDT acts on the sub-clinical lesions.

What participants receive

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

  • Metvix PDTProcedure or surgery

    Methyl aminolevulinate cream will be applied for 3 hours on the whole target field.

    The target field will then be exposed to red light using Aktilite 128 lamp.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Lesion Count at Week 18

    Percent Change in Lesion Counts at Week 18: Week 18 count minus Baseline count divided by Baseline count multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 18.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Global Percent Change From Baseline in AK Lesion Count in the Target Field (Including New and Recurrent Lesions) at Month15

    Measured: Baseline and Month15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Metvix PDT in people with Actinic Keratosis, run by Galderma R&D at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 May 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent Change From Baseline in Lesion Count at Week 18 (time frame: Baseline and Week 18.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 May 2021.
