Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a widely used and effective treatment for actinic keratoses (AKs). However, cure rates are significantly reduced for AKs on acral sites. We compared the sequential regimen of topical calcitriol and methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) daylight-PDT (CAL-DL-PDT) versus placebo and MAL-DL-PDT (P-DL-PDT) on acral AKs in an intra-individual, randomized trial.

Abstract

Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a widely used and effective treatment for actinic keratoses (AKs). However, cure rates are significantly reduced for AKs on acral sites. We compared the sequential regimen of topical calcitriol and methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) daylight-PDT (CAL-DL-PDT) versus placebo and MAL-DL-PDT (P-DL-PDT) on acral AKs in an intra-individual, randomized trial.
