Safety and Efficacy of Ingenol Mebutate 0.05% Gel When Used After Cryotherapy in the Hypertrophic Actinic Keratoses

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Actinic Keratoses

In brief

Sequential therapy with cryosurgery and ingenol mebutate may optimize the treatment of hypertrophic AKs and also treat non-hypertrophic AKs in this anatomic location. Furthermore, use of ingenol mebutate will also be evaluated for potential treatment of subclinical lesions.
