Pharmacokinetic Study to Evaluate the Extent of Systemic Absorption of PEP005

February 11, 2015 updated by: Peplin

A Phase I, Pharmacokinetic Study to Evaluate the Extent of Systemic Absorption of PEP005, When Applied as 0.05% PEP005 Topical Gel to a 100 cm2 (5 cm x 20 cm) Contiguous Actinic Keratosis(AK) Treatment Area on the Extensor (Dorsal Aspect) Forearm.

The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of systemic absorption of PEP005 when applied topically for the treatment of actinic keratoses.

Detailed Description

Actinic keratoses (AK) is a common skin condition characterized by rough, scaly patches or sores on the top layer of the skin which if left untreated can progress to skin cancer. Current treatments can cause scarring and hypopigmentation, be inconvenient, or require long treatment duration. Non-invasive alternative therapy for treatment of AK lesions is thus being researched.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
To evaluate the extent of systemic absorption of PEP005 when applied as 0.05% Topical Gel on two consecutive days (Day 1 and Day 2) to a 100 cm2 (5 cm x 20 cm) contiguous AK treatment area on the extensor (dorsal aspect) forearm.
