PG - 249-257 LID - 10.1007/s40261-017-0608-y [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ingenol disoxate (LEO 43204) is a field therapy in development for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK) on areas between 25 and 250 cm(2). We evaluated the systemic exposure and safety of ingenol disoxate under maximum-use conditions. METHODS: This was a phase I, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter trial. Patients >/= 18 years of age with >/= 15 clinically typical, visible, discrete AK lesions in a treatment area on the full face or approximately 250 cm(2) on the arm or scalp were treated once-daily for 3 consecutive days with ingenol disoxate 0.018, 0.1, or 0.037% gel, respectively. RESULTS: The trial included 58 patients. Median age (range) of patients was 68 years (42-89) [face, N = 18], 66 years (43-88) [arm, N = 21], and 67 years (37-83) [scalp, N = 19]. The highest quantifiable ingenol disoxate level was observed in the arm group (0.33 nM, area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last data point [AUC(tlast)] 3.12 nM.h). Mean composite local skin response scores peaked at Day 4 and declined towards baseline by Day 15 in all treatment groups. Most adverse events (AEs) were of mild or moderate intensity; the most common treatment-related AEs were application-site pain (face, 88.9%; arm, 57.1%; scalp, 100.0%) and application-site pruritus (face, 50.0%; arm, 52.4%; scalp, 42.1%). CONCLUSION: Very low systemic exposure to ingenol disoxate was observed when applied to the face, arm, or scalp in patients with AK under maximum-use conditions. No new safety signals were identified. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02424305.
