简要总结

The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the safety and efficacy of multiple broad area photodynamic therapy treatments with aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) and vehicle (VEH-PDT) in subjects with moderate to severe facial acne vulgaris.

详细描述

This is a Phase II multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded, vehicle-controlled, parallel group light dose ranging study of photodynamic therapy in subjects with moderate to severe facial acne vulgaris.

Subjects will be randomized to one of the following four treatment groups (1:1:1:1) to receive topical Levulan® Kerastick® containing 20% aminolevulinic acid HCL (ALA, active study drug) or the Kerastick® containing vehicle ingredients only (VEH).

  • Group 1 will have ALA applied to the entire facial area 45 minutes ± 15 minutes prior to BLUE light treatment for 1000 seconds (16 minutes 40 seconds)
  • Group 2 will have ALA applied to the entire facial area 45 minutes ± 15 minutes prior to BLUE light treatment for 500 seconds (8 minutes 20 seconds)
  • Group 3 will have VEH applied to the entire facial area 45 minutes ± 15 minutes prior to BLUE light treatment for 1000 seconds (16 minutes 40 seconds)
  • Group 4 will have VEH applied to the entire facial area 45 minutes ± 15 minutes prior to BLUE light treatment for 500 seconds (8 minutes 20 seconds)

Each subject may receive up to four treatments at three week (± 2 days) intervals. The power density (dose rate) and the total fluence (light dose) used at each treatment is intended to remain constant throughout each subject's participation. If a subject meets or exceeds the criteria restricting retreatment (CRR) prior to retreatment (Section 5.6), he/she will not receive additional PDT treatment at that visit and will be asked to return for the next scheduled PDT visit 3 weeks later, if applicable.

Post-treatment follow-up visits will be scheduled to occur at 3 and 6 weeks after the subject's final PDT.

  • Subject is willing to comply with study instructions and return to the clinic for required visits.
  • Subject must have used the same type and brand of make-up, other facial products and hair products (e.g. shampoo, gel, hair spray, mousse, etc.) for at least 1 month prior to the Baseline Visit (General Skin & Hair Care). Upon enrollment, all subjects must a) use exclusively an Investigator approved facial cleanser and b) agree to continue their other General Skin & Hair Care for the entire study.

排除标准

  • Subject is pregnant, lactating, or is planning to become pregnant during the study.
