The purpose of this study is to determine if Levulan Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is safe and effective in the treatment of actinic keratosis when applied to broad areas on the face and scalp for 1, 2 and 3 hours.

Short-incubation Levulan Photodynamic Therapy Versus Vehicle for Face/Scalp Actinic Keratosis (AK)

A Phase II Study of Photodynamic Therapy With LEVULAN® Topical Solution + Blue Light Versus LEVULAN® Topical Solution Vehicle + Blue Light Using Spot and Broad Area Application and Incubation Times of 1, 2 and 3 Hours for the Treatment of Multiple Actinic Keratoses on the Face or Scalp

The proportion of subjects in each treatment group with a count of zero lesions in the Treatment Area

the proportion of subjects in each treatment group with a count of zero lesions in the Treatment Area

proportion of subjects with 75% or more reduction in the AK count in the Treatment Area as compared to baseline.

AK Clearance Rate (AKCR) for a subject is defined as:

100% x \[1 - (Number of AK lesions in the Treatment Area at follow-up visit/Number of AK lesions in the Treatment Area at Baseline)\]

0 = no improvement or worsening (not satisfied at all)

OOZING/VESICULATION/CRUSTING Grade 0 = None Grade 1 = Minimal - a single area of oozing, vesiculation or crusting 3 mm diameter or less in size Grade 2 = Mild - two to four areas of oozing, vesiculation or crusting 3 mm diameter or less in size OR a single area larger than 3 mm diameter in size Grade 3 = Moderate - more than a single area of oozing, vesiculation or crusting larger than 3 mm diameter in size or more than four areas of 3 mm diameter or less in size Grade 4 = Severe - any degree of oozing, vesiculation or crusting greater than (3) above
