ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryFrequency and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), and Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs).Through study completion, on average 6 weeks
TEAEs are defined as all AEs with onset or worsening after treatment with IMP up to Visit 5 (Final Visit). TEAEs are considered being related to IMP or medical device, if causal relationship between IMP or medical device and the TEAE is at least possible or relationship assessment is missing. If an AE occurs in different treatment areas (face, scalp, face and scalp), it is reported separately for each treatment area. Thus, some AEs are counted more than once.
PrimaryDuration of TEAEs Including the Breakdown of Severity Category (Mild, Moderate, Severe).From treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) up to Visit 5 (approx. 28 days post treatment)
The duration of TEAEs related to IMP and/or medical device which occurred in at least two subjects and with complete start and stop dates was analyzed. In addition, the proportion of the duration by severity was analyzed. Duration of severity per subject and preferred term is calculated in days counting all days and all episodes of one severity category together. Calculation is done referring to all subjects with occurrence of respective preferred term. If a severity category of a preferred term does not occur in a subject, the duration of this category is set to 0. If an AE occurs in different treatment areas, it is reported separately for each treatment area (face, scalp, face and scalp). Thus, some AEs are counted more than once for the analysis.
PrimaryAssessment of New Lesions (AK, NMSC Such as BCC, SCC or Bowens Disease, and Melanoma) if They Occur Inside the Treatment FieldFrom treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) up to Visit 5 (approx. 28 days post treatment)
Assessed were newly occuring lesions of actinic keratosis (AK), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or Bowens disease, and melanoma inside the treatment field. Cumulative number of lesions is reported.
PrimaryAssessment of New Lesions (AK, NMSC, and Melanoma) if They Occur Around the Treatment Field at a Distance of <10 cmFrom treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) up to Visit 5 (approx. 28 days post treatment)
Assessed were newly occuring lesions of actinic keratosis (AK), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or Bowens disease, and melanoma inside the treatment field. Cumulative number of lesions is reported.
PrimaryApplication Site Skin Reactions During and Post PDT, Assessed by the InvestigatorFrom treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) up to Visit 5 (approx. 28 days post treatment)
Application site skin reaction categories: discharge, erosion, erythema, exfoliation, fissure, induration, oedema, scabbing, skin flaking, ulceration, vesicles, other; severity of AE: mild, moderate or severe
PrimaryApplication Site Discomfort During and Post PDT, Reported by the SubjectsFrom treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) up to Visit 5 (approx. 28 days post treatment)Application site discomfort categories: burning, hyperaesthesia, pain, paraesthesia, pruritus, stinging, warmth, other; severity of AE: mild, moderate or severe
PrimaryApplication Site Pain During IlluminationAt treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) after end of illuminationAssessed by the subjects using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS), where a score of 0 means "no pain" and a score of 10 means "worst imaginable pain".
PrimaryChanges in Blood Pressure (Systolic and Diastolic)
All visits through study completion after Visit 1: Visit 2, baseline, treatment day; Visit 3, approx. 7 days post treatment; Visit 4, approx.14 days post treatment; Visit 5, approx. 28 days post treatment
Change from baseline is presented. The first measurement at Visit 2 (arrival at site) was considered as baseline value for all following measurements. Blood pressure was measured in mmHg. At Visit 2, photodynamic therapy was performed.
PrimaryChanges in Pulse Rate
All visits through study completion after Visit 1: Visit 2, baseline, treatment day; Visit 3, approx. 7 days post treatment; Visit 4, approx.14 days post treatment; Visit 5, approx. 28 days post treatment
Change from baseline is presented. The first measurement at Visit 2 (arrival at the site) was considered as baseline value for all following measurements. Pulse rate was measures in beats/min. At Visit 2, photodynamic therapy was performed.
PrimaryChanges in Body Temperature
All visits through study completion after Visit 1: Visit 2, baseline, treatment day; Visit 3, approx. 7 days post treatment; Visit 4, approx.14 days post treatment; Visit 5, approx. 28 days post treatment
Change from baseline is presented. The first measurement at Visit 2 (arrival at site) was considered as baseline value for all following measurements. Body temperature was measured in °F and was converted to °C in the electronic Case Report Form. At Visit 2, photodynamic therapy was performed.

PRIMARYApplication Site Pain During IlluminationAt treatment day (day 1, Visit 2) after end of illumination
For this study, concomitant medication as pain-relieving measure prior to illumination, concomitant medications given as pain-relieving measures during illumination and physical pain-relieving measures (i.e. interruption of the illumination and/or cooling with an air stream and/or nebulized water) were allowed. Subjects might have received a combination of medications (prior and/or during) and/or measures.

PRIMARYChanges in Blood Pressure (Systolic and Diastolic)
All visits through study completion after Visit 1: Visit 2, baseline, treatment day; Visit 3, approx. 7 days post treatment; Visit 4, approx.14 days post treatment; Visit 5, approx. 28 days post treatment
One subject had elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure at Visit 1 which was considered clinically significant and thus documented as relevant medical history. At Visit 2, blood pressure data was missing for one subject for the timepoint 'within 10 min prior to illumination', and for two subjects for the timepoint '60 min after illumination'. One subject missed Visit 3 and thus had no vital sign measurements at Visit 3.

At Visit 2, pulse rate data was missing for one subject for the timepoint 'within 10 min prior to illumination', and for two subjects for the timepoint '60 min after illumination'. One subject missed Visit 3 and thus had no vital sign measurements at Visit 3.

At Visit 2, body temperature data was missing for one subject for the timepoint 'within 10 min prior to illumination', and for three subjects for the timepoint '60 min after illumination'. One subject missed Visit 3 and thus had no vital sign measurement at Visit 3. For one other subject, no temperature data was available at Visit 3.
