Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Clinical diagnosis of minimum 10 previously untreated not pigmented, non-hyperkeratotic AK lesions of Grade I and II of the forehead and/or scalp (according to Olsen et Al. JAAD 1991, cf. REF 31) where other therapies are unacceptable or considered medically less appropriate with a symmetrical repartition on both side of the forehead and/or scalp. The diagnosis of AK will be determined upon clinical evaluation (i.e. visual inspection and palpation) by the investigator.
  • No treatment for the AKs in the previous 30 days.
  • Symmetrical areas in terms of number and severity of lesions. The axis of symmetry between the two areas will be defined by the investigator according to the distribution of lesions.
  • The two areas to be treated should not be coalescing. A minimum distance of 10 mm is required between the lesions located on the 2 symmetrical areas. A minimum distance of 2 mm is required between the lesions on the same side.
  • Minimum 5 lesions with similar dimensions at both symmetrical areas will be treated. If the number of lesions is >7, only 7 lesions on each side will be considered.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with porphyria.
  • Patients immunosuppressed for idiopathic, disease specific or therapeutic reasons.
  • Use of topical corticosteroids to lesional areas within 2 weeks before PDT.
  • Patients receiving local treatment (including cryotherapy and curettage-electrocoagulation, any PDT treatment) in face / scalp area within the last 30 days.
  • Patients receiving topical treatment (including imiquimod, 5-FU and diclofenac, Picato) in face / scalp area within the last 30 days.in
  • Use of topical retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids, systemic retinoids, chemotherapy or immunotherapy within 30 days of PDT.

  • Pigmented AK lesion(s).
  • Known allergy to Metvixia/Metvix, a similar PDT compound or excipients of the cream including arachis oil, or to peanut or soya.
  • Participation in other clinical studies either currently or within the last 30 days.
  • Female subjects must be of either:
  • Non-childbearing potential, i.e. post-menopausal or have a confirmed clinical history of sterility (e.g. the subject is without a uterus) or,
  • Childbearing potential, provided there is a confirmed negative urine pregnancy test or blood analysis prior to study treatment, to rule out pregnancy.
  • Any condition which may be associated with a risk of poor protocol compliance.
  • Patients currently receiving regular ultraviolet radiation therapy.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Evaluating the Non-inferiority and Better Tolerability of the Device PHOS-ISTOS Compared to the Conventional Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

This study aims to compare the efficacy and tolerance of a new photodynamic therapy device (PHOS-ISTOS) with the conventional PDT device (Aktilite®) for the treatment of actinic keratosis of the scalp

Read the detailed description

The study is an intraindividual comparison of two methods. The number of subjects to be enrolled is 47. Patients will receive both treatments in a single visit: A first period of 2.5 hours of illumination with Phos-Istos device followed by a continuous red light spectrum (between 7 and 10 minutes) with Aktilite® after an appropriate incubation of MAL (methyl aminolevulinate). Patients will complete a pain assessment scale after receiving both treatments. 3 follow-up visits will be then scheduled

Being tested
Aktilite® Galderma, PHOS ISTOS PDT
Keywords
PDT, Methyl Aminolevulinate, light emitting textile
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Aktilite® GaldermaDevice

    Also called Conventional PDT

    preparation of the lesions, Metvixia application + occlusive dressing during 3 hours + illumination: 7 to 10 minutes

  • PHOS ISTOS PDTDevice

    preparation of the lesions, Metvixia application + occlusive dressing during 30 minutes + illumination: 2.5 hours

What is being measured

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

  1. Treated lesion response rate

    Each treatment area will be counted, graded with Clinical grade of AK, mapped and photographed

    Measured: up to Month 6

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Visual analog scale of pain

    measure the pain and local tolerance graduation range 0 to 10.

    Measured: at Day 1 and Day 7

  2. Scale for clinical assessment of the subject's skin aspect

    4-point scale that ranged of Excellent :No scarring, atrophy or induration, and no or slight occurrence of redness or change in pigmentation compared to adjacent skin Good: No scarring, atrophy or induration but moderate redness or change in pigmentation compared to adjacent skin Fair: Slight to moderate occurrence of scarring, atrophy or induration Poor : Extensive occurrence of scarring, atrophy or induration

    Measured: at Month 3 and Month 6

  3. Rate of patients with at least 75% of reduction of the lesions

    The response rate is calculated in relation to the initial number of lesions: Response rate is validated if rate ≥ 4 lesions destroyed for 5 initial lesions, ≥ 5 for 6 lesions and ≥ 6 for 7 lesions

    Measured: at Month 3 and Month 6

  4. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI )

    The questionnaire of 10 questions is completed by the patient to evaluate his quality of life

    Measured: at day 1 , Day 7, Month 3 and Month 6

  5. Satisfaction autoquestionnaire

    The questionnaire is created by investigator to evaluate the comfort of device.

    Participants will answer 9 questions on a 5-point scale that ranged from Not embarrassing,few embarrassing, Embarrassing, Very embarrassing, Don't know

    Measured: at Day 7, Month 3 and Month 6
