218A Dose-Finding Study of Resiquimod Evaluating Safety and Efficacy in Patients with Multiple Actinic Keratosis Lesions
Prospective, randomized, partly blinded, in part placebo-controlled, multicenter dose-finding trial with patients suffering from AK. Patients were observed for efficacy, local tolerability and safety. A total of 14 sites in Switzerland and Germany enrolled male and female patients over 18 years of age with clinically diagnosed AK lesions Patients were randomized to receive resiquimod gel (Treatment Arms 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) or matching vehicle (Treatment Arms 1-Pla, 2-Pla, or 3-Pla):
Treatment Arms 1, 2 and 3: The patient was randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups and within each group there was one randomly assigned placebo patient for every two treatment patients (parallel-group randomization; 2:1 active vs placebo).
Treatment Arms 4 and 5: The patient was randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups (parallel-group randomization, 1:1).
