1 PDT in Medical and Aesthetic Dermatology: An European Perspective Rolf-Markus Szeimies Recklinghausen, Germany

2 DISCLOSURE OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY Rolf-Markus Szeimies, MD PhD F066 Photodynamic Therapy in Medical and Aesthetic Dermatology DISCLOSURES Almirall, Biofrontera, Galderma, LEO Pharma: Advisory Board Honoraria Almirall, Biofrontera, Galderma, Janssen Pharmaceuticals: Speaker Honoraria Biofrontera, Galderma, LEO Pharma, photonamic: Investigator Grants

3 FURTHER DISCLOSURE Rolf-Markus Szeimies, MD PhD F066 Photodynamic Therapy in Medical and Aesthetic Dermatology All drugs and procedures/combinations presented here in this talk are not approved in the U.S. by the FDA

4 Why is there pain with conventional PDT? Szeimies RM (2018) Pain perception during Photodynamic Therapy Why is Daylight PDT with MAL almost pain free? G Ital Dermatol Venereol 153: AK: application of MAL under occlusion Enrichment of protoporphyrin IX also in adjacent tissue during 3- hrs-incubation period Szeimies Upon illumination irritation of free nerve endings by reactive oxygen species (ROS) -> pain induction

5 56-yrs old patient with field cancerization Images from original publication 3 mo following MAL conventional PDT (with scalp block) Klein A. et al, BJD 2015

6 Daylight-PDT for Actinic Keratoses Wiegell S et al., Br J Dermatol 2008; 158: PDT for AK is painful, especially in field cancerized areas of face & scalp Better tolerability, when light at lower intensity is used for illumination? Comparison of conventional MAL-PDT (3 h incubation, LED 37 J/cm²) vs. daylight exposure (30 min MAL incubation followed by 2.5 h sun exposure) Image from internet

7 Less pain with MAL-daylight PDT Szeimies RM (2018) Pain perception during Photodynamic Therapy Why is Daylight PDT with MAL almost pain free? G Ital Dermatol Venereol 153: MAL-application, followed by daylight illumination for 120 min; Synthesis & continuous photoactivation of PPIX already within the mitochondria with the consequence of localized necrosis/apoptosis Consumption of PPIX by the photodynamic process ( photobleaching ) prevents from sensitization of adjacent nerves Szeimies

8 Noninferiority of DL-PDT to cpdt in AK Tomás-Velázquez A, Redondo P. De la terapia fotodinámica convencional a la terapia fotodinámica con luz de día en el tratamiento de las queratosis actínicas: revisión sistemática y metaanálisis. Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2017;108:

9 Natural Daylight PDT Recklinghausen Style Szeimies Chemical sunscreen SPF min before Lesion preparation (in case of crusty AKs) Application of photosensitizer thin layer no occlusion start of light exposure within 30 min light exposure outside for 2 h minimum LUX: 2,300; period between Apr-Oct (latitudedependent) minimum temperature: 10 C / 50 F

10 DL-PDT vs. cpdt in patients with face & scalp AK Sotiriou E, Evangelou G, Papadavid E et al. (2018) JEADV 32: pat., non-hyperkeratotic AK on face & scalp single tx, randomized split-face DL-PDT vs. c-pdt with MAL 3/12-month follow-up DL-PDT c-pdt Complete AK clearance at 3 months 77.9% 80.6% Complete AK clearance at 12 months 71.2% 73.7% Recurrence at 1 year 8.7% 8% Local adverse events more intense with cpdt Patients' preference was more for DL-PDT compared to cpdt

11 Long term efficacy of DL-PDT in AK with MAL Sotiriou E et al. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol Apr;32(4): Images from original publication

12 MAL vs. ALA-Nanoemulsion for DL-PDT of AK Räsänen JE et al.

17 MAL vs. ALA-Nanoemulsion for cpdt of AK Serra-Guillén C et al. (2018) Br J Dermatol 179: MAL more selective for AK lesions, ALA more unspecific fluorescence pattern and therefore more pronounced local skin reaction

18 MAL-PDT with light-emitting fabric (LEF) Vicentini C et al. (2018) Br J Dermatol, Oct 26. doi: /bjd Randomized, controlled phase II clinical study, non-inferiority design, intraindividual comparison in 25 pat. with symmetrical AKs (Olsen s type I-II, 154 vs. 156 lesions) Primary endpoint lesion complete response rate at 3 mo

22 Calcipotriol-assisted MAL-PDT for AK Torezan L et al. (2018) Br J Dermatol 179: Baseline day 5 post PDT day 90 post PDT CAL-PDT CAL-PDT CAL-PDT Images from original publication

23 Calcipotriol-assisted MAL-PDT for AK Torezan L et al.

32 MAL-PDT vs. Imiquimod for AKs in OTRs Togsverd-Bo K et al. (2018) Br J Dermatol 178: Intraindividual study, field treatment of AK with MAL and IMIQ; 35 pat., 572 AKs (grade I-III) Similar areas on face, scalp, dorsal hands & forearms. One MAL and one IMIQ (3 weekly applications for 4 wks) session; repeat if incomplete Outcome measures: complete lesion response, skin reactions

33 MAL-PDT vs. Imiquimod for AKs in OTRs Togsverd-Bo K et al. (2018) Br J Dermatol 178: Majority of pat. (>70%) with 2 Tx. At mo 3, higher CR for MAL-PDT (median 78%) vs. IMIQ (median 61%) Fewer emergent AKs in PDT- vs. IMIQ-treated skin (0.7 vs. 1.5 AK, p=.04) Short term skin reactions higher for PDT, but faster resolution of skin reactions compared to IMIQ group (median 10 vs. 18 days, p<.01)

34 Summary Daylight-PDT with ALA & MAL serious alternative for Tx of AK Study results comparable with classical PDT and other Tx modalities Artificial light sources for c- and DL-PDT available MAL-PDT also of interest in OTR-patients with AK in respect of treatment and possible also prevention
