Study Description

This was a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study in adult participants with clinically-confirmed mild to moderate AKs on the face and the balding scalp, to be conducted at approximately 60 clinical sites in the United States. Sites were selected to ensure that diverse daylight conditions represented in the study to understand the effects of latitude, elevation, and climate.

Groups and Cohorts

Group/ CohortIntervention/ Treatment
  • MAL 16.8% Cream
    • Participants received two treatment session at least 2 weeks apart. Investigator applied a thin layer of methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) hydrochloride 16.8% cream to each lesion during treatment. At 30 minutes after cream application, participants went outside in daylight for 2 hours (Daylight photodynamic therapy [DL-PDT]). After this time, the cream was removed by investigative site personnel by washing the skin with gentle skin cleanser.
  • Drug: MAL 16.8% cream
    • Day light photodynamic therapy with MAL 16.8% cream
  • MAL Vehicle Cream
    • Participants received two treatment session at least 2 weeks apart. Investigator applied a thin layer of vehicle cream to each lesion during treatment. At 30 minutes after cream application, participants went outside in daylight for 2 hours (DL-PDT). After this time, the cream was removed by investigative site personnel by washing the skin with gentle skin cleanser.
  • Drug: MAL Vehicle Cream

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Complete Response at Week 12 [Week 12]
      Complete response was defined as clearance of all AK lesion treated, at week 12 after the last Daylight photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percent Change From Baseline in Lesion Complete Response at Week 12 [Baseline, Week 12]
      Lesion complete response was defined as percent reduction from baseline in the number of cleared treated lesions, at 12 weeks after the last DL-PDT treatment. This outcome measure was analyzed as an intra-individual comparison between MAL cream and Vehicle cream.
    2. Percentage of Participants With Partial Response at Week 12 [Week 12]
      Participants achieving partial response was defined as participants with 75% or greater reduction from baseline in the number of cleared treated lesions, at 12 weeks after the last DL-PDT treatment, comparing MAL cream with vehicle cream.
