Detailed Description
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with methyl-aminolevulinate (MAL) is effective in the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK). Many strategies have been studied to improve the production of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), to improve efficacy of PDT. Pre-treatment of the skin with fractional laser resurfacing is a novel alternative technique to improve the efficacy of PDT for AK. The investigators' previous studies showed that ablative fractional laser primed PDT (AFL-PDT) offered higher efficacy than conventional MAL-PDT in the treatment of AK. But, reduced response rates are also observed in thicker skin lesions, which may be due to insufficient PpIX accumulation within the target tissue.
Cellular differentiation leads to increased synthesis of PpIX from MAL and consecutively, differentiation therapy enhances photosensitization effect. Topical calcipotriol is a well-known pro-differentiation hormone and was demonstrated to influence the effect of PDT on keratinocytes.
The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy of topical vitamin D in AFL-PDT for AK treatment. Consequently, the investigator compared efficacy, recurrence rate, cosmetic outcome and safety between VitD - AFL-PDT and conventional AFL-PDT.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: GroupA (Vit-D pretreated AFL-PDT group )
Group A was treated with topical VitD-assisted AFL-PDT
|
Calcipotriol ointment 50 mcg/g (Daivonex, Leo Pharma, Denmark) was applied twice for daily on treatment area for 15 consecutive days.
For AFL pre-treatment, lidocaine/prilocaine (5%) cream (EMLA; Astra Pharmaceuticals, LP, Westborough, MA, USA) was applied to the treatment area under occlusion for 30 min
After the anaesthetic cream was removed, AFL therapy was performed using a 2940-nm Er:YAG AFL (Joule; Sciton Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) at 300-550 µm ablation depth, level 1 coagulation, 22% treatment density and a single pulse
Immediately after AFL treatment, an approximately 1- mm-thick layer of MAL (Metvix, PhotoCure ASA, Oslo, Norway) was applied to the lesion and on 5 mm of surrounding normal tissue.
Incubation time is 3 hours
After 3 hours of application with MAL, saline wash was performed and fluorescence imaging analysis was performed with ultraviolet examination light (model 31602,356 nm; Burton Medical Products Crop.) at 10 cm height above the base of each lesion.
The red fluorescence (610 nm-700 nm) was separated and extracted by ImageJ program and then used to measure the amount of 633 nm fluorescence of protoporphyrin IX.
After incubation for 3 hours, the dressing and cream were removed, and the area was cleansed with saline.
The area was irradiated with a red light-emitting diode lamp (Aktilite CL 128; PhotoCure ASA, Oslo, Norway) with peak emission at 632 nm, placed 5 cm away from the skin surface, and a total light dose of 37 J/cm-2.
All patients wore protective goggles during illumination.

Active Comparator: GroupB (Conventional AFL PDT group )
Group B was treated with conventional AFL-PDT
|
For AFL pre-treatment, lidocaine/prilocaine (5%) cream (EMLA; Astra Pharmaceuticals, LP, Westborough, MA, USA) was applied to the treatment area under occlusion for 30 min
After the anaesthetic cream was removed, AFL therapy was performed using a 2940-nm Er:YAG AFL (Joule; Sciton Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) at 300-550 µm ablation depth, level 1 coagulation, 22% treatment density and a single pulse

placebo cream (indistinguishable from calcipotriol cream by visual and physical appearance and sense of smell) was applied twice for daily on treatment area for 15 consecutive days.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Differences of short-term complete response rates between VitD-AFL-PDT and AFL-PDT
Time Frame: Short-term complete response rates were evaluated at 3 months after treatment
|
Lesion responses were classified as either a complete response (complete disappearance of the lesion) or a noncomplete response (incomplete disappearance)
|
Short-term complete response rates were evaluated at 3 months after treatment
|
Differences of long-term complete response rates between VitD-AFL-PDT and AFL-PDT
Time Frame: Long-term complete response rates were evaluated at 12 months
|
In all cases of complete response, the patients were reviewed at 12 months to check for recurrence.
Recurrence was assessed by inspection, dermoscopy, photography, palpation, and histologic findings.
For the histopathologic evaluation of treatment response, at the 12-month follow-up visit, a 3-mm punch biopsy of the treated AK lesion was performed in all cases of clinically incomplete response.
