Study of a drug for actinic keratosis on arms or face
This trial tests how a new drug works in people with actinic keratosis (rough, scaly patches caused by sun damage) on their upper arms or face. You will receive the treatment and have blood samples taken to see how your body processes the medication.

Combination cream vs standard cream for precancerous skin spots
This trial tests if adding calcipotriol to a standard chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil) works better than the standard cream alone for treating actinic keratosis (precancerous sun-damaged skin spots). You may qualify if you have at least four spots on your face, scalp, neck, chest, or arms.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06461442Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Freezing vs. cream for sun-damaged spots

Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07335003Recruiting
Sunscreen study for preventing skin damage in older adults with actinic keratoses
This study tests a new sunscreen (Anthelos Fluide 100 KA+ UVMune 400) to see if it can protect skin and prevent further sun damage in people who already have multiple actinic keratoses (precancerous spots). It may help reduce the risk of new spots or skin cancer.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 60 years+ - NCT06648447Recruiting
Testing tirbanibulin cream for certain actinic keratoses
This study tests whether tirbanibulin (Klisyri) cream works well on specific types of actinic keratosis on the scalp or face that have a downward growth pattern. It helps doctors understand if this treatment is right for those skin spots.
Wuppertal, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05688904RecruitingPhase 1
Topical imipramine with light treatment for skin pain relief
This Phase 1 study tests whether applying imipramine cream to the skin affects pain and effectiveness when combined with a light-based skin treatment (photodynamic therapy). It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit for people with certain sun-damaged skin areas.
Fairborn, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06778434RecruitingPhase 2
Using a cream to improve light therapy for veterans' sun-damaged skin
