Linear and logistic regressions were employed to model any relationships between variables that may have affected PpIX accumulation and/or PpIX photobleaching during irradiation and thus clinical outcome at three months. Patient age was found to be associated with lower PpIX accumulation and photobleaching, however only a reduction in PpIX photobleaching appeared to consistently adversely affect treatment efficacy. Clinical clearance was reduced in lesions located on the limbs, hands and feet with lower PpIX accumulation and subsequent photobleaching adversely affecting the outcome achieved (OR: 0.5 (0.2, 0.9; p<0.05). If air cooling pain relief was employed during light irradiation, PpIX photobleaching was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) and this resulted in an approximate three-fold reduction in the likelihood of achieving clinical clearance (OR: 0.4 (0.2, 0.7; p<0.01). PpIX accumulation and photobleaching are therefore concluded to be important indicators of dermatological MAL-PDT treatment success and anything that adversely effects them has the potential to reduce treatment efficacy. PpIX photobleaching during the first treatment was found to be an excellent predictor of clinical outcome across all lesion types and non-invasive imaging of PpIX fluorescence during MAL-PDT continues to provide important treatment insights that can be utilised to improve treatment protocols and thus clinical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130916609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional approved PDT protocol in Europe (C-PDT) involves red-light photoactivation at irradiances higher than 60 mW/cm2 , making the treatment painful. Several clinical studies have reported similar efficacy and better tolerability when using red-light photoactivation at lower irradiances. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there is a minimum irradiance threshold for red-light photoactivation above which there is no further improvement in efficacy. A photodiode sensor connected to a power meter was used to measure the irradiance delivered to 114 AKs on the scalp and forehead of 19 patients during C-PDT using the Aktilite CL 128 (Galderma SA, Switzerland). The widely ranging measured irradiances, resulting from the heterogeneous photoactivation over the treatment area provided by the Aktilite CL 128, were cross-referenced with the clinically evaluated complete responses (CR) at 3 months. The 66 AKs in CR at 3 months received an average irradiance of 30.9 mW/cm2 (standard deviation: 16.7 mW/cm2 ) compared to 33.3 mW/cm2 (standard deviation: 17.9 mW/cm2 ) for the 48 AKs in incomplete response. No significant effect of the irradiance on the CR at 3 months was found (odds ratio for a 6 mW/cm2 -unit change, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.83 to 1.10; p=0.53). No minimum irradiance threshold could therefore be determined in the considered irradiance range. A red-light device enabling homogeneous irradiation at a lower irradiance than the Aktilite CL 128 may therefore provide similar efficacy and higher treatment tolerability than C-PDT.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116018142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Dermatology, topical PDT has been carried out with a wide variety of light sources delivering a broad range of light doses. However, these light sources do not deliver a uniform light distribution on the skin due to their structure and morphology and the complexities of the human anatomy. The development of a flexible light source able to generate uniform light on all its surface would considerably improve the homogeneity of light delivery. The integration of plastic optical fibers (POF) into textile structures offers an interesting alternative. The homogeneous light side-emission from the fabric is obtained by controlling the bending angles of POF inside the LEF due to specific architecture generated by knitting of textile structure. LEF of different surfaces can be easily manufactured (up to 500cm2 The LEF thickness is less than 1 mm. The mean irradiance is typically 2.5 mW.cm-2. W-1 with heterogeneity of 12.5% at any point of the LEF. The temperature elevation remains below 1°C. These LEF were evaluated in Dermatology for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis. Two clinical evaluation were performed. The first one was a monocentric, randomized, controlled, phase II clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03076918). Twenty five (25) patients with grade I-II actinic keratosis (AK) of the forehead and scalp were treated with methyl aminolevulinate photodynamic therapy in two symmetrical areas. One area was treated with the conventional LED panel (154 AK), whereas the other area was treated with the LEF device (156 AK). The second clinical was performed in 2 centers. This new LEF device was a more ergonomic and compact version of the original system developed for FLEXIPDT. In this clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03076892), the irradiance has been reduced from 12.3 mW/cm2 to 1.3 mW/cm2 and the light dose from 37 J/cm2 to 12 J/cm2 . Compared to Conventional PDT, the 2 protocols clearly shown that LEF are equivalent and even superior in terms of efficacy for treating AK of the forehead and scalp. However, the use of LEF resulted in much lower pain scores and fewer adverse effects. In conclusion, thanks to LEF, PDT of AK can be conducted in all weather conditions, in any geographic location, year-round and benefits from the optimal adaptability of the flexible, light-emitting, fabrics to the treatment area. At last, LEF can be easily can be easily manufactured in large series.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114999132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is attracting increasing interest for the treatment of infection. However, delivery strategies for topical PDT and PACT are still based on application of rather simplistic cream and solution formulations, with little consideration given to thermodynamics, targeting or the physicochemical properties of the active agent. Purpose-designed dosage forms for topical delivery of aminolevulinic acid or its esters include creams containing penetration enhancers and/or iron chelators, pressure sensitive patches and bioadhesive patches. Such systems aim to enhance drug delivery across the stratum corneum and keratinised debris overlying neoplastic lesions and improve subsequent protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) production. The alternative to using porphyrin precursors is the use of pre-formed photosensitisers. However, owing to their relatively high molecular weights, conventional topical application is not appropriate. Innovative strategies, such as the use of needle-free injections and microneedle arrays, bypass the stratum corneum, enabling rapid and targeted delivery not only porphyrin precursors but also pre-formed photosensitisers. This presentation will review drug delivery work published to date in the fields of PDT and PACT.
