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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
