Treatment and study plan

Hemoporfin PDT

Drug

Photodynamic therapy is performed using hemoporfin under general anesthesia. Hemoporfin(5mg/kg)is infused for 20 minutes, followed by light illumination at 10 minutes from the start of infusion. Different light dose of PDT is applied to the patients.

Primary outcomes

  1. Response rate

    Time frame: week 8

    proportion of patients achieving at least some improvement (color blanching from the baseline >= 20%)

  2. Incidence of adverse events and adverse reactions

    Time frame: up to 24 weeks after the treatment
