What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Severity Assessment Score

    Change in Physician's Severity Assessment score based on blinded assessment of subject photographs by a panel of independent dermatologists.

    Blinded Physician's Severity Assessment (min=1;max=4); Higher scores mean worse values

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Physician's Global Assessment (Blinded)

    Before and after subject photographs were presented to a panel of independent dermatologists. The panel was blinded to treatment parameters and the photograph time points. Each dermatologist was asked to select the baseline photograph and then rate improvement in Poikiloderma of Civatte in the post-treatment photograph using a 5-point improvement scale.

    Physician's Global Assessment (min= -1; max=4) Higher scores mean better outcome

    Measured: 24 weeks
