| NCT06027619 | Short Contact Protocols to Reduce Pain During 10% ALA Gel Red-light Photodynamic Therapy of Actinic Keratoses | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 30 | — | — | Oct 2, 2023 | Jul 8, 2024 | Oct 23, 2025 | 1 | United States |
To test the hypothesis that a short-contact PDT protocol with Ameluz and red light will produce lesion clearance outcomes that are statistically non-inferior to the traditional, painful protocol. This will be measured by Clinical Efficacy, which will be based on the AK lesion counts and lesion clearance rate after two treatments.
Pain will be reported by the participants during illumination will be measured on a subjective 11-point visual-analog scale (VAS scale 0= no pain, 10 = intolerable pain)
