Long-term use of a new topical formulation containing piroxicam 0.8% and sunscreen: efficacy and tolerability on actinic keratosis. A proof of concept study

Abstract: Our experience suggests that 6 month topical piroxicam 0.8% is efficacious and well tolerated in A.K. Clinical efficacy is maintained 1 year post-treatment. The main limitation of our study is that it was an open label non-controlled trial. Future controlled trials are warranted in order to compare the efficacy and tolerability of this topical piroxicam preparation with standard treatments in the management of A.K.

“…There are two different and effective treatments for AKs: lesion-directed and field-directed therapies. The lesion-directed treatments aim to destroy or remove atypical keratinocytes, whereas the field-directed therapies not only act against the lesion, but also against areas with subclinical atypical keratinocytes within a field of chronic sun exposed and damaged skin, the so-called field of cancerization 1012. Among the latter novel therapies, ingenol mebutate gel, an extract from the plant Euphorbia peplus , induces swelling of mitochondria of dysplastic keratinocytes and cell death by primary necrosis.…”

“…A number of additional studies have been conducted to determine whether COX-2 inhibitors might be effective preventive agents for KCs 93, 94 ; two of these report incidence of KC as endpoints 95, 96 . Elmets et al reported a double-blind trial in which 240 participants with 10–40 AKs at baseline and a prior histological diagnosis of at least one AK or KC were randomized to receive celecoxib (200 mg twice daily) or placebo.…”

“…Infolgedessen hat das hier verwendete Zweikomponentenprodukt möglicherweise den Vorteil, dass es die Therapieadhärenz der Patienten verbessert. Die klinische Wirksamkeit von P+SS in der Behandlung von AK wurde in 2 kontrollierten multizentrischen Studien [26,27], an denen insgesamt 108 Patienten teilnahmen, untersucht. Die Behandlung mit P+SS in diesem klinischen Setting führte zu einem Rückgang der AK-Läsionen um mehr als 55%.…”
