Laser Resurfacing for Precancerous Skin Lesions

Fairborn, Ohio
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Fractionated Laser Resurfacing (FLR) procedure can protect one forearm/wrist from precancerous actinic keratosis (AKs) as well as prevent skin cancer in older subjects with active AKs. This study builds on a similar study ongoing at the Dayton Veterans Administration dermatology clinic. This study is also testing if a photograph of the skin can be used to predict where the AKs and an skin cancers will form.

Imipramine + Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratosis

Fairborn, Ohio
The purpose of this study is testing the use of topical Imipramine in combination with topical photodynamic therapy's (PDT) effect on pain following treatment. PDT is a commonly used treatment in dermatology for patients who have many pre-cancers (actinic keratosis-AKs) on their skin. These are both FDA-approved treatments, but this study is evaluating their use in combination, which has not been evaluated in the past. The investigators have been doing studies using animals that suggest that imipramine might make the PDT less painful and might help it work better. In order to participate, the subject and their dermatologist have decided that they would benefit from PDT to treat their skin due to many AK precancerous lesions. Please note that neither PDT nor imipramine are experimental treatments, but treating their skin with imipramine before PDT is a new approach.

Fractionated Laser Resurfacing for Actinic Keratosis and Skin Cancer Prevention

Dayton, Ohio
This study is following up on previous studies that have demonstrated that geriatric subjects respond different to ultraviolet B (UVB) light than young subjects. The treatment of geriatric skin with dermal rejuvenation therapies (dermabrasion, fractionated laser resurfacing) restores the appropriate UVB response. Ongoing studies have tested the ability of fractionated laser resurfacing (FLR) to assess how long this wounding effect lasts-and have found that this appears to be a durable response which lasts for at least two years. The findings that FLR protects geriatric skin at two years is the impetus for this study. This study is an interventional study to assess if FLR treatment of one forearm of geriatric subjects with multiple actinic keratosis will result in the short-term removal of actinic keratosis, and the long-term decrease in levels of future actinic keratosis and other non-melanoma skin cancers in comparison to the untreated arm. Study length and visit: The first part of the study is completed in 1 day then there are follow up visits at 90 days and every 6 months for 5 years.

Topical Imipramine for Actinic Keratosis

Dayton, Ohio
The purpose of this study is to test the use of topical imipramine in combination with topical photodynamic therapy's (PDT) effect on immunosuppression following treatment. PDT is a commonly used treatment in dermatology for patients who have many pre-cancers (actinic keratosis or "AK") on their skin. These are both FDA-approved medications, but this study is evaluating their use in combination, which has not been evaluated in the past. The investigators have been doing studies using mice that suggest imipramine might reduce immune system suppression by PDT thus allowing it to work better. Subjects whose provider has decided that they may benefit from PDT to treat their skin due to many AK precancerous lesions will be recruited for this study. Please note that the PDT itself is not experimental, only the imipramine treatment to the skin. There is a separate informed consent for the PDT.

BMX-001 for Head and Neck Cancer

West Chester, Ohio
This phase II trial compares the effectiveness of adding BMX-001 to usual symptom management versus usual symptom management alone for reducing oral mucositis in patients who are receiving chemoradiation for head and neck cancer. Oral mucositis (inflammation and mouth sores) is a common side effect of chemoradiation that can cause pain and difficulty swallowing. Usual management of these side effects typically consists of using mouth rinses and pain medications during treatment and for several weeks after completion of treatment. BMX-001 neutralizes harmful substances in the body, preventing damage to macromolecules such as DNA and minimizes free radical-related toxicity in normal tissues. Adding BMX-001 to usual symptom management may be more effective than usual symptom management alone at reducing oral mucositis in patients receiving chemoradiation for head and neck cancer.

Short Contact Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratosis

Cleveland, Ohio
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if shorter Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) treatment times will still be effective at treating actinic keratoses (AK) while reducing or eliminating the pain that patients sometimes experience during conventional PDT treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will the application of the nanoemulsion (10% ALA gel), in the absence of occlusion, still achieve significant inflammation and lesion clearance? * Will shortened incubation times of Ameluz still achieve significant inflammation and lesion clearance? * Will the new test regimens achieve reduced pain during illumination? * Will the new test regimens be safe? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment regimens, which will determine the length of time that the topical medication will incubate on the face before red light exposure in PDT treatments. The incubation period will be either 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 60 minutes.

Calcipotriene + 5-Fluorouracil for Actinic Keratosis

Saint Louis, Missouri
This phase IIA study evaluates the effects of calcipotriene plus 5- fluorouracil immunotherapy for skin cancer prevention in organ transplant recipients. Solid organ transplant recipients are at high risk of developing skin cancer. Actinic keratosis (AK), is a premalignant skin lesion that can progress to squamous cell skin cancer. In this study, solid organ transplant recipients with multiple AKs are treated with topical calcipotriene and 5-FU to evaluate how effective this therapy is against AKs and if this could lower their risk of skin cancer. Topical calcipotriene is a form of vitamin D and is used to treat psoriasis. Prior research reported immunomodulatory effects in the skin induced by topical calcipotriene. Topical 5- fluorouracil is a chemotherapy agent and is one of the therapy options for multiple AKs in specific clinical scenarios. Prior research indicates that topical calcipotriene used together with topical 5-FU was more effective in treating multiple AKs than 5-FU alone in individuals with healthy immune system. This study is investigating now if similar beneficial effects can be seen in immunosuppressed individuals who are solid organ transplant recipients.

Protoporphyrin IX Measurement for Photodynamic Therapy

Lebanon, New Hampshire
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly used to treat superficial skin lesions, such as actinic keratosis (AK) and non-melanoma skin cancers, and has been demonstrated to be an effective and safe alternative to surgery. It is performed by applying a photosensitizing pro-drug, amino -levulinic acid (ALA) and then allowing the conversion to the metabolite Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). While attempts to measure the concentration of this drug in the skin have been performed before, there remains limited research on an individuals' baseline level of PpIX which could lead to the customization of PDT. With the development of a new handheld, smart phone-associated device to measure red fluoresce intensity of PpIX, this measurement is now feasible. This is an observational single center quantitative study in which the investigators will take measurements of red fluoresce intensity of PpIX at various locations. This will then be correlated with the individuals age, oral temperature, diet, and skin type. The investigators hypothesize that the levels of PpIX will depend on all of these factors, including anatomical location. All data will be collected into the data collection form and then analyzed. The investigators will assess for how anatomical location, skin pigmentation, oral temperature, and other factors influence PpIX levels. Fitzpatrick skin type will be assessed by the provider to assess skin pigmentation. All of these factors will be correlated to the PpIX levels in 5 anatomical locations (forehead, cheeks, forearms, hands, and bald scalp where applicable) to determine which factors most greatly influence the red fluoresce intensity of PpIX.

Cryotherapy vs 5-Fluorouracil for Actinic Keratosis

Sacramento, California
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of two treatments-cryotherapy and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-for actinic keratosis, a common skin condition caused by long-term sun exposure. Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal cells, and 5-FU is a topical cream applied to the skin to treat lesions by interfering with cell growth. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * Which treatment, cryotherapy or 5-FU, is more effective in reducing the number of actinic keratosis lesions? * What are the side effects associated with each treatment? * How do these treatments impact patient satisfaction, cosmetic outcomes, and health-related quality of life? Participants will: * Undergo a baseline assessment where their demographics information such as age, sex, race, smoking status, and medical history are recorded, along with the number and severity of actinic keratosis lesions. * Receive both cryotherapy and 5-FU, with each treatment applied to different areas of their body. The area of the body to receive each treatment is decided by a random process (like flipping a coin). * Complete weekly surveys to monitor for side effects during and after the treatment period. * Return to the clinic for follow-up assessments at 3 months and 12 months.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Actinic Keratosis clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Actinic Keratosis clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Actinic Keratosis trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Actinic Keratosis is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Actinic Keratosis medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Actinic Keratosis clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Immunotherapy Creams for Skin Cancer Prevention in Organ Transplant Recipients, Pre-Transplant Immunotherapy for Skin Cancer Prevention in Organ Transplant Recipients and Imiquimod Cream for Basal Cell Carcinoma to the Power online platform.
