Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Diclofenac Sodium 3% gel - Test

The diclofenac sodium 3% test gel is applied to lesion areas twice daily. It is to be smoothed onto the affected skin gently. The amount needed depends upon the size of the lesion site. Assure that enough Test Gel is applied to adequately cover each lesion. Normally 0.5 g of gel is used on each 5 cm x 5 cm lesion site.

Drug: Diclofenac sodium
Topical administration of approximately 0.5g twice daily to the 25 sq cm treatment area for 60 days.
Other Names:
  • Solaraze
  • Active Comparator: Diclofenac Sodium 3% gel - Reference

    The Reference diclofenac sodium 3% gel (Solaraze®) is applied to lesion areas twice daily. It is to be smoothed onto the affected skin gently. The amount needed depends upon the size of the lesion site. Assure that enough Reference (Solaraze®) Gel is applied to adequately cover each lesion. Normally 0.5 g of gel is used on each 5 cm x 5 cm lesion site.

    Drug: Diclofenac sodium
    Topical administration of approximately 0.5g twice daily to the 25 sq cm treatment area for 60 days.
    Other Names:
  • Solaraze
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo gel

    The placebo gel (contains no active ingredient) is applied to lesion areas twice daily. It is to be smoothed onto the affected skin gently. The amount needed depends upon the size of the lesion site. Assure that enough placebo gel is applied to adequately cover each lesion. Normally 0.5 g of gel is used on each 5 cm x 5 cm lesion site.

    Other: Placebo
    Topical administration of approximately 0.5g twice daily to the 25 sq cm treatment area for 60 days.
    Other Names:
  • Vehicle base
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Patients With 100% Clearance of All AK Lesions Within the Treatment Area Assessed at Day 90 [90 days]

      The primary measure of bioequivalence will be evaluated using those patients who complete the study according to the (PP) population.
