| E.1.2 | Classification code | 10000614 |
| E.1.2 | Term | Actinic keratosis |

| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
In this three-armed dose-finding trial 3 ibuprofen-gels (5%, 7.5% and 10% concentration of the active agent) shall be investigated with respect to safety and efficacy in order to identify the optimal ibuprofen concentration in the gel formulation. The main objective of the trial is to determine the optimal concentration of the active agent in the gel formulation as quantified by the change of the number of keratosis (assessed by the target lesion number score - TLNS) in pre-defined areas in a time period from inclusion in the trial until the end of treatment (3 months) or prior complete healing.
|
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
| Secondary objectives are the change of visible keratosis during the treatment period as assessed by the investigator global improvement index (IGII) and the patient global improvement index (PGII) using a scale ranging from -2 (serious worsening) to +4 (healed) as well as the local skin/ dermal tolerance of the IMP and, if so, adverse events. |
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Age: ≥ 18 years - Gender: male and female - Actinic Keratosis (Olsen grade I/II) - at least 5 aktinic keratoses on the scalp, forehead, face, extremities, and/ or decolleté - no treatment of the actinic keratoses within the previous 3 months before inclusion in the study - histologic confirmation of the diagnosis actinic keratosis by biopsy - good general condition - normal laboratory values (creatinine, urea, GOT, GPT, GGT, LDH) and blood count at study start not higher than 1.5 x upper norm limit - Female patients must be tested negative for pregnancy before inclusion in the trial. During the trial, female patients have to apply a generally accepted form of birth control (i.e. oral estrogen- and gestagen-containing contraceptives; estrogen containing skin plaster/ tape, hormone implant, hormone contraceptive coil, sterilisation; sexual abstinence) or being post-menopausal for at least 2 years. - Willing and able to participate in the screening and all trial specific procedures in compliance with the protocol - Signed written informed consent |
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Known allergy against nonsteriodal antiphlogistics and/ or against excipients of the IMP - Presence of immunsuppression - Treatment with 5-fluorouracil, cyclosporine, retinoids, glycolic acid, imiquimod, trichloroacetic acid during the trial or 12 weeks before inclusion in the trial - Continuous treatment with nonsteroidal antiphlogistics with the exception of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (100 mg) for inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation - Planned treatment with photodynamic therapy during participation in the trial - Pregnancy or lactation - Participation in another clinical trial within 3 months before inclusion in the current trial |
