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) and protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) when applied topically under
occlusion, in a maximal use setting in patients with multiple actinic keratoses (AK)
involving the upper extremities.
