Indoor Daylight Photo Dynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand better if indoor daylight Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) can provide effective lesion clearing versus conventional red lamp light therapy.

Detailed Description
Subjects who enroll into this research study, their participation in this study will last up to 6 months. They will be asked to return to the clinic 3-4 times.
Subjects will be randomized into one of two study arms:
Arm 1 - Indoor Daylight PDT Therapy Arm 2 - FDA Approved Standard Light Therapy Treatment
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Indoor Daylight PDT Therapy Ameluz will be applied to skin. This will be followed by a 30-minute incubation period. Subsequently, you will be exposed to natural sunlight through a window for 2 hours. Post-treatment assessments will be performed and you will be given instruction on appropriate sun protection methods. |
Other: Amulez and sunlight
Amulez and sun exposure for 2 hours

Active Comparator: FDA Approved Standard Light Therapy Treatment Ameluz will be applied to skin. This will be followed by a 30-minute incubation period. Subsequently, you will receive Red Light Treatment for 10 minutes. Post-treatment assessments will be performed and you will be given instruction on appropriate sun protection methods. |
Other: Amulez and red light treatment
Amulez and red light treatment for 10 minutes

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Changes or clearing of the lesions [Baseline, immediately post-procedure (2 hours) and one and 6 months]
The primary aim of this study is to study if indoor daylight PDT can be as effective as regular lamp light PDT. This study can be confounded by the amount of PpIX produced in the lesions as well as the clearing of lesions at one month and six months.
- Change in the amount of PpIX in the lesion [Baseline and immediately post procedure]
Secondary diagnostic study to determine if low-cost cellphone-based skin dosimetry in PDT can facilitate objective measurement of drug levels.
