Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Study to Evaluate Cellular and Molecular Events During Four Weeks of Treatment for Actinic Keratosis With Aldara (Imiquimod) Cream, 5%


The primary objective of this study was to assess apoptosis by examining the gene expression
profiles of actinic keratosis (AK) lesions that were treated with imiquimod 5% cream or
vehicle cream once daily 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Secondary objectives were to assess
the utility of confocal microscopy (CM) to visually track cellular response to treatment
with study cream compared with clinical and histological evaluations, and to evaluate the
safety of treatment with imiquimod in subjects with AK on the balding scalp.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Have actinic keratoses on balding scalp

- Discontinuation of tanning bed use

- Discontinuation of moisturizers

- Avoidance of retinol products

Exclusion Criteria:

- Uncontrolled, clinically significant medical condition

- Dermatologic disease other than actinic keratosis in treatment area
