Detailed Description
In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the efficacy and safety of imiquimod 3.75% cream following cryosurgery to treat clinically typical visible or palpable AK lesions on the face was compared with that of placebo cream. Based on a 1:1 randomization, approximately 120 subjects applied imiquimod 3.75% cream daily (up to 500 mg cream daily [18.75 mg imiquimod]) and approximately 120 subjects applied placebo cream daily during two 2-week periods (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2) separated by 2 weeks of no treatment. Subjects visited the clinic 9 times-1 screening/cryosurgery visit (additional visits might be needed during the screening period to assess healing from the cryosurgery), 4 treatment visits(treatment initiation at Weeks 0 and 4 and treatment follow-up at the end of Weeks 2 and 6), and 4 posttreatment visits (4, 8, 14, and 20 weeks after the last administration of study treatment at the end of Week 6). The total study duration for a subject, including a 2-week screening period, was up to 28 weeks.
Prior to cryosurgery, subjects had to have ≥10 clinically typical visible or palpable AK lesions in an area that exceeded 25 cm^2 on the face to be eligible for participation in the study. At screening, a minimum of 5 visible lesions were not treated with cryosurgery, and 5 to 14 visible lesions were treated with cryosurgery. Subjects had to have at least 5 AK lesions after the skin healed sufficiently from the cryosurgery to be eligible for randomization to either imiquimod 3.75% or placebo cream. Subjects applied up to 2 packets of study cream (500 mg total) as a thin layer to the entire face, avoiding the periocular areas, lips, and nares; ears were excluded from both assessment and treatment. Study cream was applied prior to normal sleeping hours and removed approximately 8 hours later with mild soap and water. Rest periods from daily treatment could be approved by the investigator as needed, with treatment resumption at the investigator's discretion.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change From Baseline in Percentage of Lesion Count
Time Frame: Week 26
|
The primary efficacy endpoint was a comparison between the active and placebo treatment groups of percent change from baseline in the total AK lesion count at Week 26.
All AK lesions on the face were included in the analysis-treated and untreated AK lesions at baseline (defined as the AK lesion count just prior to cryosurgery) and new lesions that appeared post-baseline.

Week 26

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percent of Subjects With Complete Clearance
Time Frame: Week 26
|
Proportion of subjects who achieved complete clearance of all AK lesions, cryosurgery-treated AK lesions, and non cryosurgery-treated AK lesions from baseline to Week 26/EOS in the ITT population.
|
Week 26
|
Number of Participants With Any Post-baseline Local Skin Reactions (LSRs)
Time Frame: Weeks 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 20, and 26
|
LSRs were assessed independently from AEs.
The frequency and percentage of subjects, as well as the mean (SD) and median score for severity (none=0, mild=1, moderate=2, and severe=3), were summarized by treatment group and by visit for the following LSRs: erythema, edema, weeping/exudates, flaking/ scaling/dryness, and scabbing/crusting.
Erosion and ulceration were also evaluated (none=0, erosion=1, and ulceration=2).
A score of greater than 0 for the specified LSR was considered a "treatment site reaction".
