An Investigator-initiated Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Ingenol Mebutate 0.05% Gel When Used After Cryosurgery in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Actinic Keratosis on Dorsal Hands.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ingenol mebutate 0.05% gel after cryosurgery versus cryosurgery alone for the treatment of hypertrophic and nonhypertrophic actinic keratosis on the dorsal hands.

Design

Investigator-blinded split arm study.

Setting

Academic institution.

Participants

Sixteen subjects with actinic keratoses on dorsal hands.

Results

There was a mean reduction in the number of hypertrophic actinic keratosis lesions adjusted for baseline in ingenol mebutate-treated versus control group of -4.3 versus -2.8, respectively. There was a mean reduction in the number of non-hypertrophic actinic keratosis lesions in the ingenol mebutate-treated versus control group of -3.8 versus -0.3.

Conclusion

A statistically significant and clinically meaningful difference in response was demonstrated in favor of ingenol mebutate-treated hands versus controls. No significant increase in local skin responses was noted when applying ingenol mebutate 0.05% gel on the same day as cryosurgery.

Project description:Actinic keratosis is a common skin disease that may progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. Ingenol mebutate has demonstrated efficacy in field treatment of actinic keratosis. However, molecular mechanisms on ingenol mebutate response are not yet fully understood. In this study, we evaluated the gene expression profiles of actinic keratosis lesions before and after treatment with ingenol mebutate using microarray technology. Actinic keratoses on face/scalp of 15 immunocompetent patients were identified and evaluated after treatment with topical ingenol mebutate gel 0.015%, applied once daily for 3 consecutive days. Diagnostic and clearance of lesions was determined by clinical, dermoscopic, and reflectance confocal microscopy criteria. Lesional and non-lesional skin biopsies were subjected to gene expression analysis profiled by Affymetrix microarray. Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analyses were performed using STRING database. At 8 weeks post-treatment, 60% of patients responded to ingenol mebutate therapy, achieving complete clearance in 40% of cases. A total of 128 differentially expressed genes were identified following treatment, and downregulated genes (114 of 128) revealed changes in pathways important to epidermal development, keratinocyte differentiation and cornification. In responder patients, 388 downregulated genes (of 450 differentially expressed genes) were also involved in development/differentiation of the epidermis, and immune system-related pathways, such as cytokine and interleukin signaling. Cluster analysis revealed two relevant clusters showing upregulated profile patterns in pre-treatment actinic keratoses of responders, as compared to non-responders. Again, differentially expressed genes were mainly associated with cornification, keratinization and keratinocyte differentiation. Overall, the present study provides insight into the gene expression profile of actinic keratoses after treatment with ingenol mebutate, as well as identification of genetic signatures that could predict treatment response.
