About this trial

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined approach of cryotherapy and tirbanibulin for the treatment of actinic keratosis of the scalp and forehead, repeated every 4 months. A higher rate of complete response is expected with this combination compared to cryotherapy alone, as well as a better response with repeated treatment cycles.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject over 18 years old presenting with ≥ 8 typical actinic keratoses (AK), clinically visible or palpable, grade I or II, with at least 4 AK per hemiscalp,

Participants who, in the investigator's judgment, are in good general condition (ECOG ≤ 2),

The AK must be distributed in 2 non-overlapping areas, and of similar grades,

Patient capable of understanding and adhering to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements,

Disqualifiers

Clinically atypical and/or rapidly evolving actinic keratoses (AK) in the treatment area, and grade 3 AK according to Olsen classification,

Located somewhere other than the scalp and/or forehead,

Within 5 cm of a wound that is not fully healed or a lesion suspicious for carcinoma,

Prior treatment with tirbanibulin,

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete clearance of actinic keratosis

Complete clearance rate of actinic keratoses at 8 months. A complete response corresponds to the absence of clinically detectable actinic keratosis in the treated area.

Time frame
8 months

Secondary outcomes

1

To determine the 12-month effectiveness of a combined approach using cryotherapy and tirbanibulin.

Complete Clearance of Actinic Keratosis at 12 months. A complete response corresponds to the absence of clinically detectable actinic keratosis in the treated area.

Time frame
12 months
2

To evaluate the reduction in the number of actinic keratoses after 2 treatment cycles.

Partial clearance rate (75% reduction in the number of actinic keratoses) at 8 months.

Time frame
8 months
3

To evaluate the reduction in the number of actinic keratoses after 3 treatment cycles.

Partial clearance rate (75% reduction in the number of actinic keratoses) at 12 months.

Time frame
12 months
4

To evaluate the reduction in the need for cryotherapy with tirbanibulin.

Number of cryotherapy sessions performed over the entire follow-up period.

Time frame
12 months
