| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline in visual assessment scores at 3 months
The visual assessment evaluates seven clinical signs: erythema, edema, wheal vesiculation, ulceration, hemorrhage, purpura, and crusting. Each sign is assigned a score of 0 to 3, where a score of 0 is associated with no expression of the clinical sign and a better outcome, and a score of 3 is associated with severe expression of the clinical sign and a worse outcome.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing Ingenol mebutate and cryotherapy in people with Actinic Keratosis, run by Northwestern University.
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 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Change from baseline in visual assessment scores at 3 months (time frame: Baseline and 3 months). 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 6 Dec 2021.
