Improvement of Pigmented Skin Lesions in Patients With Mastocytosis After Performing 2 Sessions of Pigment Laser (LaserMasto)

September 23, 2020 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse

Evaluation of the Improvement of Pigmented Skin Lesions in Patients With Mastocytosis After Performing 2 Sessions of Pigment Laser : Pilot Study Conducted at a Reference Centre Mastocytoses (LaserMasto)

Cutaneous mastocytosis can be isolated or associated with systemic involvement. Urticaria pigmentosa affects around 80 to 85% of adult patients with cutaneous mastocytosis. It is also frequently present in patients with mastocytosis associated with systemic involvement (80% of patients in our experience).

This skin damage is one of the causes of deterioration in quality of life in patients with mastocytosis, through the loss of self-esteem, due to the appearance of lesions. However there are not treatment for urticaria pigmentosa.

Skin involvement in mastocytosis is linked to the accumulation of abnormal mast cells in the dermis. However, the mast cells are not pigmented and the brown-brown color characteristic of Urticaria pigmentosa is explained by melanin pigmentation of the epidermal basal layer.

Detailed Description

Cutaneous mastocytosis can be isolated or associated with systemic involvement. Urticaria pigmentosa affects around 80 to 85% of adult patients with cutaneous mastocytosis. It is also very frequently present in patients with mastocytosis associated with systemic involvement (80% of patients in our experience).

This skin damage is one of the causes of deterioration in quality of life in patients with mastocytosis, through the loss of self-esteem, due to the appearance of lesions. However ,there is not a treatment for urticaria pigmentosa.

Skin involvement in mastocytosis is linked to the accumulation of abnormal mast cells in the dermis. However, the mast cells are not pigmented and the brown-brown color characteristic of pigmentary urticaria is explained by melanin pigmentation of the epidermal basal layer. This characteristic is often described on skin biopsies of pigmentary urticaria analyzed in hematoxilin-eosin.

The 532 nm Q-Switched laser is known to improve lesions characterized by the presence of melanin pigment in the basal layer of the epidermis, with very little risks. This later is explained by the reduced penetration of light at 532 nm into the skin and the emission time of the laser light which is very low (of the order of a few nanoseconds) for Q-Switched lasers. In the literature, 2 case reports report an efficiency of the laser at 532 nm in this indication in adults.

The hypothesis of this study is that 2 sessions of Q-switched laser could improve the skin lesions of urticaria pigmentosa, leading to an improvement in self-esteem.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
