A Comparison of Ingenol Mebutate and Cryotherapy for Treatment of Actinic Keratoses.


The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of ingenol mebutate compared to
cryotherapy (freezing of the tissue) for the treatment of face and scalp skin lesions.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Male and female subjects between 18 and 89 years old.

- Have at least a total of 10 non-hypertrophic actinic keratoses (AKs) on the face and
scalp

- The subjects are in good health

- The subjects have the willingness and the ability to understand and provide informed
consent for the use of their tissue and are able to communicate with the investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subjects under 18 years of age and over the age of 89

- Subjects who are pregnant or lactating

- Subjects with sensitivity to cold

- Subjects with use of topical medications such as corticosteroids, alpha-hydroxyacids
or retinoids 2 weeks before study entry

- Subjects who received previous treatment of target AKs

- Subjects whose target treatment area was within 5 cm of an incompletely healed wound
or within 10 cm of a suspected basal-cell or squamous-cell carcinoma

- Subjects with use of medications or other treatments that could interfere with
evaluation of the treatment area within 2 months before study entry (e.g., topical
medications, artificial tanners, immunosuppressive medications, immunomodulating
agents, cytotoxic drugs, ultraviolet B phototherapy, other therapies for actinic
keratoses, or oral retinoids)

- Subjects who are unable to understand the protocol or to give informed consent
