aminolevulinic acid and Multiple Primary Neoplasms

aminolevulinic acid has been researched along with Multiple Primary Neoplasms in 6 studies

Aminolevulinic Acid: A compound produced from succinyl-CoA and GLYCINE as an intermediate in heme synthesis. It is used as a PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY for actinic KERATOSIS.
5-aminolevulinic acid : The simplest delta-amino acid in which the hydrogens at the gamma position are replaced by an oxo group. It is metabolised to protoporphyrin IX, a photoactive compound which accumulates in the skin. Used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt)in combination with blue light illumination for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratosis of the face or scalp.

Trial Outcomes

Overall Objective Response

The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 will be used to determine treatment response. In order to be considered evaluable for response, a patient must have completed at least 1 cycle of therapy. Patients who do not complete a cycle of therapy can be replaced. (NCT01474551)
