SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks and 8 weeks / From baseline to Week 4, and Week 8

The number of clinically visible actinic keratosis lesions (AKs) identified in the treatment area was recorded at baseline (Day 1), Week 4, and Week 8. This analysis excluded lesions identified at baseline as hypertrophic/hyperkeratotic.
