NCT00204542	Comparison of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Solaraze for 3 Versus 6 Months in Patients With Mild to Moderate Actinic Keratosis Located on the Face and Head	Completed	University Hospital Tuebingen	Phase 4	2005-06-01	Topical treatment of mild to moderate actinic keratosis located on the face and head with Solaraze® is known to be a safe and efficient treatment option. However, it is unclear if an expansion of the treatment period to 6 months will increase the rate of complete responses. Therefore the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of actinic keratosis with Solaraze® applied twice daily to the face and head over 3 or 6 months of treatment.
NCT00777127	Long-term Effects of Imiquimod and Diclofenac in Actinic Keratoses	Completed	MEDA Pharma GmbH & Co. KG	Phase 4	2008-12-01	This clinical trial serves the purpose to compare the long-term effects of a treatment of actinic keratosis - your skin disorder - using Aldara® 5% cream or Solaraze® 3% gel on the face or the scalp. In particular, it should be found out whether the healing effect of these two medications on the skin lesions (i.e. the damaged skin parts) can be maintained for a prolonged period.
NCT01358045	Topical Vitamin D3, Diclofenac or a Combination of Both to Treat Basal Cell Carcinoma	Completed	Maastricht University Medical Center	Phase 2	2011-11-01	Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent malignant tumor in Caucasians and the incidence is still increasing with 3-8% each year. Since BCCs generally occur on sun-exposed areas of the skin, the rice in incidence is mainly explained by the increasing exposure to (intermittent) ultraviolet radiation. Surgical excision is still the standard treatment for (micro)nodular BCCs. The costs as well as the increased workload are stressing the health care system even further and posing BCC an important health care problem. Since half of the BCCs arise primarily on the face & (bald) head and treatment by surgical excision may result in disfiguring scars, patients often experience a dramatic decrease of their quality of life. Hence, there is an urgent medical and societal need for a simple and cheap (targeted) treatment, preferably to be performed by the patients themselves. This treatment must be safe and effective. Such treatment is not available yet. BCC tumorigenesis is complex and must be multifactorial. Genetic alterations of multiple components of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway are involved in sporadic BCC pathogenesis; inactivating mutations in Patched-1 (PTCH1) and activating mutations of Smoothened (SMO) and Suppressor of Fused (SU(FU)). With this knowledge, inhibition of the SHH pathway by SMO antagonists was successfully administered, however treatment resulted only in partial clinical response ofBCC. Recently, involvement of the Wingless (Wnt) pathway has been proven to be essential in BCC tumorigenic response. Moreover, a recent study of our own department provides the first evidence that epigenetic alterations, particularly promoter hypermethylation, influence both the SHH and Wnt pathway (own data, not published), which can serve as therapeutic targets. Both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAlDS) and vitamin D derivatives are able to directly or indirectly target the Wnt pathway. Furthermore, vitamin D3 is able to inhibit Smoothened (SMO) in vitro, resulting in inhibition of the SHH pathway. Although in vivo studies are lacking, the investigators assume that topical application of these drugs may inhibit BCC growth and/or may cure BCC and thus might provide very promising future perspectives. Calcitriol and NSAlDs ointments are both already available for other indications and save in use. Eventually, our approach may result in a systematic approach to BCC, targeting (epi)genetic changes to treat and/or prevent further tumour growth.
NCT01453179	Long-term Effects of Imiquimod and Diclofenac in Actinic Keratoses (LEIDA 2)	Completed	Accovion GmbH	Phase 4	2011-10-01	This clinical trial serves the purpose to compare the long-term effects of a treatment of actinic keratosis - your skin disorder - using Aldara® 5% cream (Imiquimod) or Solaraze® 3% gel (Diclofenac) on the face or the scalp. In particular, it should be found out whether the healing effect of these two medications on the skin lesions (i.e. the damaged skin parts) can be maintained for a prolonged period.
NCT01453179	Long-term Effects of Imiquimod and Diclofenac in Actinic Keratoses (LEIDA 2)	Completed	Siro Clinpharm Germany GmbH (until June 2013)	Phase 4	2011-10-01	This clinical trial serves the purpose to compare the long-term effects of a treatment of actinic keratosis - your skin disorder - using Aldara® 5% cream (Imiquimod) or Solaraze® 3% gel (Diclofenac) on the face or the scalp. In particular, it should be found out whether the healing effect of these two medications on the skin lesions (i.e. the damaged skin parts) can be maintained for a prolonged period.

NCT01742663	A Study Comparing Diclofenac Sodium Gel 3% to Solaraze® Gel 3% in the Treatment of Actinic Keratosis	Completed	Taro Pharmaceuticals USA	Phase 1	2012-10-01	The objective of this study is to compare the relative efficacy and safety of the test formulation diclofenac sodium gel 3% (Taro Pharmaceuticals Inc.) to the marketed formulation Solaraze® (diclofenac sodium) Gel 3% (Fougera Pharms) in the treatment of actinic keratosis. Both the test and reference formulations will also be compared to a placebo formulation to test for superiority.
