  • Use of cosmetic or therapeutic products and procedures which could interfere with the assessments of the selected treatment areas

  • Clinical diagnosis/history or evidence of any medical condition that would expose a subject to an undue risk of a significant AE or interfere with assessments of safety and efficacy during the course of the trial, as determined by the investigator's clinical judgment.

  • Anticipated need for hospitalisation or out-patient surgery during the first 15 days after the first trial medication application.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite Local Skin Reaction (LSR) Score 3 Days After Treatment of Each Selected Treatment Area3 days after treatment of each selected treatment area

Composite Local Skin Reaction (LSR) score 3 days after treatment of each selected treatment area in both treatment groups (simultaneous or sequential). The composite LSR score (0 to 24), reflecting the sum of the individual LSR grades (erythema, flaking/scaling, crusting, swelling, vesiculation/pustulation, and erosion/ulceration, grade 0 to 4), was calculated for each selected treatment area at each visit.The composite LSR score ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 24 (worst possible outcome). Both affected areas were calculated together "Per Arm". Each subject could contribute with up to 2 values (1 for each treated area).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete Clearance of AKs in Each Separate Treatment Area 8 Weeks After Treatment8 weeks after treatment

Complete clearance of Actinic Keratosis lesions (AKs) analysed in each separate treatment area and presented by treatment regimen given as "percentage of participants" with complete AK clearance. Each subject could contribute with up to 2 values (1 for each treated area). Both affected areas were calculated together "Per Arm" (e.g. "averaged").

Partial Clearance of AKs in Each Separate Treatment Area 8 Weeks After Treatment8 weeks after treatment

Partial clearance of Actinic Keratosis lesions (AKs) defined as 75% or greater reduction in Actinic Keratosis lesions (AKs) from start of treatment to 8 weeks after treatment, was analysed in each separate treatment area and presented by treatment regimen given as "percentage of participatns" with complete AK clearance. Each subject could contribute with up to 2 values (1 for each treated area). Both affected areas were calculated together "Per Arm" (e.g. "averaged").

Percent Reduction in Number of AKs in Each Separate Treatment Area 8 Weeks After Treatment8 weeks after treatment

Percent reduction in number of Actinic Keratosis lesions (AKs) analysed for each separate treatment area and presented by treatment regimen. Each subject could contribute with up to 2 values (1 for each treated area). Both affected areas were calculated together "Per Arm" (e.g. "averaged").

Effectiveness Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM)8 weeks

Effectiveness TSQM After a Treatment Cycle of 8 Weeks. Measurement of the perceived effectiveness of medication, ranging from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome).

Side Effects TSQM8 weeks

Side Effects TSQM After a Treatment Cycle of 8 Weeks. Measurement of the perceived side effects of medication, ranging from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome).

Global Satisfaction TSQM8 weeks

Global Satisfaction TSQM After a Treatment Cycle of 8 Weeks. Measurement of the perceived overall satisfaction with medication, ranging from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome).

Convenience TSQM8 weeks

Convenience TSQM After a Treatment Cycle of 8 Weeks. Measurement of the perceived convenience with medication, ranging from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome).
