A Study to Evaluate the Cutaneous Effects of Deep Ultraviolet A +/- High-Energy Visible Blue Light Exposure

December 10, 2024 updated by: Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. (J&JCI)

A Controlled, Single Center Study to Evaluate the Cutaneous Effects of Deep Ultraviolet A (UVA) +/- High-Energy Visible (HEV) Blue Light Exposure

The objective of this study is to assess the level of pigmentation following an acute exposure of skin to light regimens representative of portions of the natural sunlight spectrum and that contain Deep UVA wavelengths with or without HEV Blue Light, as compared to non-irradiated control skin.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Regimen 1: Deep UVA
Deep UVA, 380-400nm, will be used for subsites 2 to 7 of Test Sites 1 and 2.
Other: Deep UVA Irradiation
A timed series of 6 UV doses will be administered to subsites 2 to 7 within Test Site 1 and 2 using an accurately calibrated solar simulator by varying the irradiation intensity for each subsite and keeping the duration of irradiation constant for all subsites. The duration of irradiation for each test site will be 30 minutes.
Experimental: Regimen 2: Deep UVA + HEV Blue Light
Deep UVA + HEV Blue Light, 380-420 nm, will be used for subsites 2 to 7 of Test Sites 3 and 4
Other: Deep UVA+HEV Blue Light Irradiation
A timed series of 6 UV doses will be administered to subsites 2 to 7 within Test Site 3 and 4 using an accurately calibrated solar simulator by varying the irradiation intensity for each subsite and keeping the duration of irradiation constant for all subsites. The duration of irradiation for each test site will be 30 minutes.
No Intervention: Non-irradiated control
Subsite 1 in each test site (Test Sites 1-4) will be a non-irradiated control

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pigmentation level as determined by clinical evaluation
Time Frame: 15 mins and 18-22 hours Post-Irradiation
The subsites of each test site will be graded for immediate or persistent pigmentation darkening (IPD/PPD) by a trained evaluator using a 0-2 grading scale, where 0 = no pigmentation darkening and 2 = moderate to intense pigmentation darkening.The mean values will be compared between each irradiated subsite and the non-irradiated subsite within the same test site and between each subsite in Regimen 1 compared to its corresponding subsite in Regimen 2.
15 mins and 18-22 hours Post-Irradiation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pigmentation response as quantified by imaging
Time Frame: Baseline, 15 mins and 18-22 hours Post-Irradiation
Images of each test site will be analyzed to quantify the level of pigmentation using L* and b* color space values, where an increase in pigmentation corresponds to a decrease in L* values and a potential decrease in b* values or increase in a* values. Change from baseline will be calculated. The mean values will be compared between each irradiated subsite and the non-irradiated subsite within the same test site and between each subsite in Regimen 1 compared to its corresponding subsite in Regimen 2.
Baseline, 15 mins and 18-22 hours Post-Irradiation
Pigmentation response as quantified by Chromameter
Time Frame: Baseline, 15 mins and 18-22 hours Post-Irradiation
A Chromameter will be used to quantify the level of pigmentation of subsites 1 and 7 using L* and b* color space values, where an increase in pigmentation corresponds to a decrease in L* values and a potential decrease in b* values or increase in a* values. Change from baseline will be calculated. The mean values will be compared between each irradiated subsite and the non-irradiated subsite within the same test site and between each subsite in Regimen 1 compared to its corresponding subsite in Regimen 2.
Baseline, 15 mins and 18-22 hours Post-Irradiation
