- Immunocompetent male or non-pregnant and non-lactating female. Each female subject
of childbearing potential (excluding women who are surgically sterilized or
postmenopausal for at least 2 years), in addition to having a negative urine

control during the study. For the purpose of this study, the following are considered
acceptable methods of birth control: oral contraceptives, contraceptive patches,

method of birth control if the subject becomes sexually active. Subjects entering
the study who are on hormonal contraceptives (oral contraceptives, patches and
injection) must have been on this method for at least 3 months (90 days) prior to the
study and continue the method for the duration of the study. Subjects who had used
hormonal contraception (oral contraceptives, patches and injection) and stopped must
have stopped no less than 3 months (90 days) prior to baseline. Subjects entering
the study using contraceptive implants and intrauterine contraceptives must have been
on this method for at least 6 months (180 days) and continue for the duration of the
study and if they stopped must have stopped no less than 6 months (180 days) prior to
baseline.

palpable AK lesions, each at least 4 mm in diameter, in an area that exceeds 25 cm2
on either the face (excluding ears) or balding scalp, but not both face and scalp.

- In general good health and free from any clinically significant disease, other than
AK, that might interfere with the study evaluations.
