NCT06778434
The purpose of this study is to test the use of topical imipramine in combination with topical photodynamic therapy's (PDT) effect on the effectiveness and pain 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.
NCT07290959
Several treatments are available for actinic keratosis (AK), many of which are hampered by local inflammation, pain, long duration, and slow healing. Indoor daylight photodynamic therapy (idl-PDT) is an effective, well-tolerated, first-line treatment for both AK and field cancerization, but the feasibility of this treatment is limited by the long time required for the illumination (2 hours). Objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of idl-PDT with an illumination time of 1 hour versus 2 hours in the treatment of scalp AK. Adult patients (age \>50 years) with multiple AK located on the scalp (at least 5 Olsen grade I or II AK in two symmetrical areas) and diagnosed according to the typical clinical appearance were enrolled at two Dermatology Units in Italy. Exclusion criteria were the followings: previous treatment for AK within 6 months; status of congenital, infectious, or iatrogenic immunodepression; known cutaneous photosensitivity; known hypersensitivity to any ingredient of Metvix® 135 mg/g cream (Galderma SA, Lausanne, Switzerland). AK lesions on the scalp were mapped photographically with the support of a transparent sheet and graded according to Olsen grading scale. Two contralateral and symmetric areas of the scalp containing at least 5 AK were identified. Randomization of the two target areas for the two illumination durations (1 hour vs 2 hours) was performed with a 1:1 allocation ratio with a computer-generated list using permuted random blocks of six to ensure allocation concealment. At baseline, the following data were recorded: age, sex, phototype, Olsen grade and number of AK per side, any previous therapies on the treated area, any previous surgical excision of malignant skin neoplasms on the treated area, and comorbidities. The skin area to be treated was prepared with a sterile gauze pad soaked in saline solution to remove scales and crusts and then a 1 mm thick layer of cream containing 160mg/g of MAL (Metvix®) was applied. After 30 minutes of application, according to clinical practice and approved protocol, exposure to the white polychromatic LED lamp (Dermaris®, Surgiris, Croix, France, 400-700nm, fixed distance 30 cm, irradiance 72.6 W/m2 156 ) was performed, for a duration of 1 hour on one half and 2 hours on the other half, according to randomization. The emission spectrum of the light source was measured with a SR 9910 spectroradiometer (Macam Photometrics Ltd, Livingston, UK). The light doses were 26.1 J/cm2 for 1 hour illumination and 52.3 J/cm2 for 2 hours illumination, and the effective light doses for PpIX photoactivation were 0.69 Jeff/cm2 160 for 1 hour illumination and 1.39 Jeff/cm2 for 2 hours illumination. The effective light dose was calculated with the normalized PpIX absorption spectrum, the spectral irradiance of the lamps and treatment duration. Patients were evaluated 3 months and 6 months after the idl-PDT session to assess the efficacy of the two illumination times. A clinical photograph of the treated area was taken after 1 hour, 24 hours, and at each of the two follow-up visits. The primary endpoint of the study was the lesion response rate at 3 months. The analysis was performed on the total number of AK and after categorization of AK according to Olsen clinical grade. The secondary endpoints were lesion response rate at 6 months, tolerability and physicians' and patients' satisfaction. Tolerability was assessed as follows: subject's assessment of maximal pain perceived according to treated side immediately after the end of the treatment on a 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS), from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain); local skin reactions (LSRs) assessed 1 hour and 24 hours after the treatment, including erythema, scaling, crusting, edema, blistering/pustulation and erosion/ulceration, each classified according to a 0-4 scale of severity (total LSR score range: 0-24). At the 3-months follow up visit, physicians rated their level of satisfaction on a 4-point scale with respect to treatment efficacy (very effective, effective, poorly effective, ineffective) and cosmetic outcome (excellent, good, poor or worse) for each treated area. In addition, patients were administered a questionnaire to globally assess convenience of the treatment (very convenient, convenient, poorly convenient, inconvenient) and overall level of satisfaction (very satisfied, satisfied, poorly satisfied, not satisfied at all) on a 4-point scale. The patient's willingness to undergo any further treatment with idl-PDT was recorded.

NCT03643744
This study is designed as a double-blinded proof of concept of feasibility study to define if the immunosuppression associated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be blocked by treatment with cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib in comparison to placebo. PDT consists of application of the photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid followed by treatment with a blue light. PDT is used to treat pre-cancerous actinic keratosis on large areas of skin. These studies are a continuation of ongoing studies that indicate that the lipid mediator platelet-activating factor (PAF) is generated in skin following PDT, and that PDT suppresses the immune system. It is hypothesized that PDT-generated PAF results in the immunosuppression associated with PDT. Therefore, it is proposed that a treatment to block that immunosuppression could protect the patient undergoing PDT. Blockers of the PAF system are not currently commercially available. However research studies done at Wright State University using mice indicate that PAF- and PDT-induced immunosuppression is blocked by treatment with COX-2 inhibitors. This study is conducted as a proof of concept. Study length and visit for subjects with actinic keratoses: The first part of the study is completed in 12 days then there are follow up visits at 6 and 12 months. There are a total of 6 separate visits to the research office. Study length and visit for control subjects: The study is completed in 10 days. There are a total of 4 separate visits to the research office.
NCT05688904
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.
NCT01966120

NCT01525329
This randomized, intra-patient comparative study is designed to investigate the combination regimen of 5-fluorouracil cream (5FU) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), versus PDT alone, for its ability to generate significantly elevated levels of the target photosensitizer, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), in lesions of actinic keratoses (AKs) and to more effectively treat and prevent recurrence of AKs. The target population comprises patients with solid organ transplants (renal, hepatic), as well as normal (immunocompetent) subjects to control for possible influences of immunosuppression.
