Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Malignant Neoplasms
To assess changes in skin cancer signaling pathway activation levels pre-solar simulated light exposure (baseline) and 5hr and 24hr post-solar simulated light exposure in sun damaged skin.
Secondary outcome measures
Exploratory Endpoint: To assess the correlation between skin sun damage level and the magnitude of solar simulated light-induced pathway activation.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: TLR4 and TOPK/PRPK Signaling in Sun Damaged Human Skin Acutely Exposed to Solar Simulated LightExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
We have one arm, which consists of participants with a broad range of sun damage on the forearm. Based on the standardized clinical photodamage scale (Hu C, Curiel-Lewandrowski C. Archives of Dermatology, 2011; 147(1):31-36), we will include mild (N=12), moderate (N=12), and severely (N=12) sun damaged skin.
