Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to provide this investigational drug to patients who cannot be optimally treated with conventional therapies and to collect efficacy and safety data on the use of Metvix PDT in subjects with field actinic keratoses, large/multiple superficial basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) or Bowen's disease.

Metvix (methyl aminolevulinate)

Metvix (methyl aminolevulinate) (MAL), Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), cream, 160 mg/g. MAL cream will be applied for 3 hours then will be removed. The target area will then be exposed to red light (using a large-field LED light source: Aktilite 128) for 7 to 10 minutes at a dosage of 37 J/cm².

* Histologically confirmed diagnosis of Bowen's disease from a biopsy taken within 3 months
* Any subject presenting with the aforementioned lesions must not be able to be treated optimally by conventional therapies.
* Female subject of childbearing potential, using an effective birth control method (see Case Report Form) and having a negative pregnancy test at the beginning of the study, or female subject of non childbearing potential
* Subject must be willing and capable of cooperating to the extent and degree required by the protocol.
* Subject has to read Patient Information Sheet and read and sign the Informed Consent form prior to any study related procedure.

Exclusion Criteria

* 5-FU - 3 months
* Cryotherapy - 3 months
* Imiquimod - 3 months
* PDT - 3 months
* Diclofenac sodium - 3 months
* Surgery, radiotherapy, curettage, electrodesiccation, retinoids, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, salicylic acid - 3 months
* A primary superficial BCC located close to or involving a scar of SCC
* Subject with known porphyria.
* Subject with target lesions on the genitals.
* Subject with known xeroderma pigmentosum.
* Pigmented lesion(s) on the treated area.
* Morpheaform lesion(s) on the treated area.
* Infiltrating lesion(s) on the treated area.
* Female subject who is pregnant, nursing or planning a pregnancy during the study.
* Subject with known hypersensitivity to methyl 5-aminolevulinate, a similar compound or excipients of the cream.
