About

A Prospective, Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Photodynamic Therapy Using Radion™-pdt in Patients with Oral Precancerous Lesion (Oral Verrucous Hyperplasia or Oral Erythroleukoplakia).

Full description

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical Radion™-pdt for treatment of patients with oral verrucous hyperplasia (OVH) or oral erythroleukoplakia (OEL).

Total duration of the study will be up to 40 weeks (from screening throughout study until completion) as follows:

• Screening (within 2 weeks before dosing)
• Treatment period (up to 14 weeks)
• Safety follow-up period (within 2 weeks after final treatment)
• Follow-up period (final treatment plus 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 16 weeks and 24 weeks respectively) All enrolled patients will receive up to 8 treatments (once every two weeks) during a maximum of 14-week study treatment period. The treated lesion will be clinically evaluated and documented (clinical photograph) at each treatment visit.

Enrollment: 25 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Patients who have a history or evidence of a medical condition that would expose them to an undue risk of a significant adverse event during the course of the trial, including but not limited to hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, neurological, hematological, gastrointestinal or psychiatric disease as determined by the clinical judgment of the investigator;

5. Patients with impaired hepatic function (defined as AST and/or ALT > 2× the upper limit of normal values), and/or impaired renal function (defined as serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL);

6. Female patient of childbearing potential who:

   • is lactating; or
   • has positive urine pregnancy test at visit -1; or
   • refuses to adopt reliable method of contraception during the study;
