A Pharmacokinetic Study of Levulan Kerastick (Aminolevulinic Acid HCl) for Topical Solution, 20% Under Maximal Use Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for systemic exposure of
aminolevulinic acid (ALA) when applied topically under occlusion, in a maximal use setting
in patients with multiple actinic keratoses (AK) involving the upper extremities.
