Detailed Description
This study is a double-blinded, multicenter, activity, and safety study of KX01 Ointment administered topically to the face or scalp of participants with actinic keratosis. The study consists of Screening, Treatment, Follow-up, and Recurrence Follow-up Periods. Eligible participants received 5 consecutive days of topical treatment, to be applied at the study site. Activity (lesion counts) and safety evaluations is performed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of participants with complete (100%) clearance of Actinic Keratosis (AK) lesions [Day 57]
Complete clearance rate is defined as the percentage of participants at Day 57 with no clinically visible AK lesions in the treatment area.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Partial Clearance Rate of AK Lesions at Day 57 [Day 57]
Partial clearance rate of AK lesions is defined as the proportion of subjects on Day 57 with a ≥ 75% reduction in the number of AK lesions identified at Baseline (Day 1 predose) in the treatment area.
- Recurrence rate of AK lesions in subjects who achieved complete clearance at Day 57 [3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-Day 57]
For subjects who achieve 100% clearance of AK lesions in the treatment area on Day 57, a Investigator or Sub-investigator will perform a count of clinically visible AK lesions (lesion count) during the Recurrence Follow-up Period at the 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month visits. In principle, the Investigator or Sub-investigator performing the lesion count should be the same Investigator or Sub-investigator who evaluated the subject previously during the study.
- Number of participants with local skin reactions (LSR) in the treatment area [Baseline (Day 1 predose), Days 5, 8, 15, 29 and 57]
At Baseline (Day 1 predose), LSRs on the treatment area will be assessed by the Investigator or Sub-investigator. The same Investigator or Sub-investigator will conduct the LSR assessment at all visits for an individual subject. LSR signs on the treatment area include the following: erythema, flaking / scaling, crusting, swelling, vesiculation / pustulation, and erosion / ulceration. These signs will be assessed using a 4-point grading scale.
- Number of participants with pigmentation and scarring in the treatment area [Baseline (Day 1 predose), Days 5, 8, 15, 29 and 57]
At the time of LSR assessment, hypo- and hyper-pigmentation and scarring on the treatment area will be assessed by the Investigator or Sub-investigator as being present or absent. Pigmentation and scarring will be assessed at Baseline (Day 1 predose). In principle, the same Investigator or Sub-investigator will assess pigmentation and scarring at all visits for an individual subject.
- Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), events of special interest [From Baseline (Day 1 predose) up to Day 57]
- Number of participants with AEs within the treatment area after Day 57 up to 12 months post-Day 57 [After Day 57 up to 12 months post-Day 57]
