简要总结
The aim of this study is to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of field-directed photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 10% aminolevulinic acid gel (Ameluz®, BF-200 ALA) in combination with one of the narrow spectrum red light RhodoLED lamps in comparison to vehicle treatment for actinic keratosis (AK) on the extremities and neck/trunk.

入选标准
- •Willingness and ability of subjects to provide informed consent and sign the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) form. A study-specific informed consent and HIPAA form must be obtained in writing prior to starting any study procedures.
- •4 - 15 mild to moderate clinically confirmed AK lesions according to Olsen either on the extremities or on the neck/trunk with a diameter of ≥ 4 mm that must be present in the treatment field (defined as AK target lesions). In addition, non-target AK lesions may be present in the treatment field, including up to two severe AK lesions ≥ 4 mm. For each severe AK lesion (≥ 4 mm), a biopsy must be taken for confirmation of diagnosis. The treatment field (continuous or in several patches) totaling approx. either 80 cm², 160 cm² or 240 cm2 must be within one effective illumination area of the BF-RhodoLED® XL but may require up to three illuminations with the BF-RhodoLED®. All AK target lesions and, if applicable, severe AK lesions ≥ 4 mm located in the treatment field should be clearly distinguishable, without restrictions on the distance between lesions, and should have a minimal distance of 1 cm to the border of the treatment field.
- •All sexes, ≥ 18 years of age.
- •Willingness to undergo a 2 mm punch biopsy for each (up to two) severe AK lesion ≥ 4 mm, if applicable, at the screening visit.
- •Willingness and ability to comply with study procedures, particularly willingness to receive up to 2 PDTs within approximately 12 weeks.
- •Subjects with good general health or with clinically stable medical conditions will be permitted to be included in the study.
- •Willingness to stop the use of moisturizers and any other non-medical topical treatments within the treatment field at least 24 h prior to the next clinical visit.
- •Acceptance to abstain from extensive sunbathing and the use of a solarium or tanning beds during the treatment phase.
- •For female subjects with reproductive potential: Negative serum pregnancy test.
- •For female subjects with reproductive potential: Effective contraception at screening visit and throughout the treatment phase of the study (until Visit 4 or Visit 6).

- •Dosing day exclusion criteria:
- •At Visit 2 (baseline, PDT-1)
- •Subjects with sunburn or other possibly confounding skin conditions (e.g., wounds, irritations, bleeding, or skin infections) inside or in close proximity (< 2 cm distance) to the treatment field. Reassessment of subjects is allowed once if the sunburn or other confounding skin conditions is/are expected to resolve within 2 weeks.
- •At Visit 4 (PDT-2)
- •Subjects with sunburn or other possibly confounding skin conditions (e.g., wounds, irritations, bleeding, or skin infections) inside or in close proximity (< 2 cm distance) to the treatment field. Rescheduling of PDT-2 can be performed once at the earliest possibility after resolution, but rescheduling should not exceed 2 weeks.
