Exclusion Criteria
  • Location of the treatment area (full balding scalp) within 5 cm of an incompletely healed wound or within 5 cm of a suspected BCC or SCC
  • Treatment with ingenol mebutate gel in the treatment area within the last 12 months

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Complete Clearance of Actinic Keratosis (AK)At Week 8

The number of clinically visible actinic keratosis lesions (AKs) identified in the treatment area was recorded at Day 1 (baseline), Week 4 and Week 8.

Complete clearance was defined as no clinically visible AKs in the treatment area.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Partial Clearance of AKsAt Week 4

Partial clearance was defined as at least 75% reduction from baseline in the number of clinically visible AKs in the treatment area.

Percent Reduction in AK Count in the Treatment Area Compared to BaselineAt Week 8

The percent reduction at Week 8 from baseline was analysed using a negative binomial regression for the AK count at Week 8 with treatment group and pooled sites as factors and baseline count as offset variable. The table presents adjusted mean percent reduction at Week 8 from baseline.
