E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
ACTINIC QUERATOSIS, also known as solar keratosis, is a skin disease caused by chronic exposure to sunlight. It appears as scaly lesions on the skin as a result of an abnormal growth of the cells in the most outer layer of the epidermis. There may be a single lesion or multiple lesions, and they are usually found on areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, hands, forearms and scalp. |
QUERATOSIS ACTÍNICA, Conocida también como queratosis solar, La queratosis actínica es un parche grueso y escamoso en la piel, que se desarrolla después de muchos años de exposición al sol. Comúnmente se encuentra en el rostro, cuello, el dorso de las manos, los antebrazos y el cuero cabelludo. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of Keramod® Gel (imiquimod 5%, Gel) versus Aldara® Cream (imiquimod 5%, cream), in the treatment of AK in terms of complete clearance of AK lesions at week 24 since the first treatment dose. |
Evaluar la eficacia de Keramod® Gel (imiquimod al 5 %, gel) frente a Aldara® Crema (imiquimod al 5 %, crema) en el tratamiento de la queratosis actínica (QA) en términos de eliminación completa de las lesiones de la QA 24 semanas después de la primera dosis del tratamiento |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the reduction in the number of AK lesions from baseline to weeks 8 and 16 in subjects treated with Keramod® Gel versus Aldara® Cream. • To evaluate the efficacy of Keramod® Gel (imiquimod 5%, Gel) versus Aldara® Cream (imiquimod 5%, cream). • To evaluate the safety of the topical treatment of Keramod® Gel versus Aldara® Cream. • To evaluate the treatment tolerance and patient acceptance of the treatment in subjects treated with Keramod® Gel versus Aldara® Cream. • To evaluate quality of life in subjects treated with Keramod® Gelm versus Aldara® Cream. |
- Evaluar la redución de lesiones desde la visita la visita basal hasta la semana 8 y semana 16 de tratamiento en pacientes tratados con Keramod Gel frente a Aldara - Evaluar la eficacia de Keramod Gel frente Aldara en función de las lesiones eliminadas en la semana 8 y la semana 16 - Evaluar la seguridad del tratamiento con Keramod Gel frente a Aldara - Evaluar la tolarancia y aceptación del tratamiento con Keramod Gel frente a Aldara - Evaluar la Calidad de Vida en los pacientes tratados con Keramod frente a los tratados con Aldara |
