Study summary

Prospective, multi-site, non-randomized study of up to 40 treated subjects; subjects enrolled may be greater than subjects treated.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be enrolled to ensure a minimum number of subjects by skin type participate in the study as follows: FST I-II, at least 5 subjects; FST III, at least 10 subjects; FST IV, at least 5 subjects. Additionally, up to 20 training subjects will be enrolled that will be excluded from efficacy analysis, but will be included in safety analysis.

Standardized baseline and follow-up images will be taken using the sites' preferred camera system. No pre-treatment medication prior to study treatment.

Phase I: Study subjects will receive up to three treatments with the PicoPlus with the 595nm on one hand and the 660nm on the other hand. Subjects will receive the same wavelength for all treatments on each specific hand; treatments will alternate by subjects between the left side getting treated with the 595nm and the right side getting treated with the 660nm depending on enrollment. Treatments will be 30+7 days apart up to three treatments until desired clearance has been achieved.

Phase II: Up to 2 balancing treatments may be done if needed based on the investigator's discretion to achieve equal clearance on each hand utilizing the wavelength of the investigator's choice. Phase II will not be considered for efficacy endpoints.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Healing disorders such as those caused by diabetes mellitus, connective tissue disease, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.

  7. History of keloid formation.
  8. Subjects with tattoos on the backs of the hands in the treatment area.
  9. History of surgical or cosmetic treatments in exposure area within the past six months.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Interventions

  • DevicePicoPlus

    The PICOPLUS Laser System (K173700) is indicated for use in surgical and aesthetic applications in the medical specialties of dermatology and general and plastic surgery. The 595nm and 660nm wavelengths of the Lutronic PicoPlus Laser system are used for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pigmentary Clearance

    Percentage of pigmentary clearance by each wavelength in standard photographs from the 30-day visit post the last treatment in Phase I of the study using a score of 0-4, representing poor 0-24%, fair 25-49%, good 50-74%, excellent 75-95%, and complete 95%+ improvement was given at the day 30 follow-up visit post the last treatment as determined by three blinded physician evaluators comparing the baseline vs 30-day follow-up visit photographs.

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinician Global Aesthetic Scale

    The Principal Investigator, sub-investigator or qualified clinician delegated by the principal investigator, will complete a Clinician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale assessing overall aesthetic improvement by wavelength at the 30-day visit following the last treatment visit for Phase I of the study. Scale ranging 1-Very Much Improved and 5-Worse.

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Subject Global Aesthetic Scale

    2. The subject will complete a SGAIS assessing overall aesthetic improvement by wavelength at the 30-day visit following the last treatment visit for Phase I of the study. Scale Ranging 1-Very Much Improved and 5-Worse.

    Time frame: 30 days

Other outcomes

  1. Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire

    The subject will complete a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire by wavelength at the 30-day visit following the last treatment visit for Phase I of the study. There are 4 questions.

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Pain Scale

    During all study treatments, the subject's pain levels will be monitored using a validated Numeric Rating Scale ranging from 0-10. The maximum and average pain score will be recorded by wavelength.

    Time frame: 30 days
