  • A well tolerated non-systemic treatment option for patients which preserves fertility and avoids the morbidities of invasive surgery
  • Results of the Phase 2b trial are significant
  • Statistically significant HSIL (CIN2,3) regression in the FDA agreed phase 3 patient population (p=0.004)
  • Statistically significant virologic clearance of oncogenic HPV at 9 months after first treatment (p=0.045)

program. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy
and safety of hexaminolevulinate (HAL) photodynamic therapy (PDT), a
novel therapy for women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)
1/2, to define the appropriate population and endpoints for a phase 3.
STUDY DESIGN: This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-
controlled, dose-finding study that induded a total of 262 women
with biopsy-confirmed CIN 1/2 based on local pathology. Patients
received 1 or 2 topical treatments of HAL hydrochloride 0.2%, 1%, 5%
clear dose effect with a statistically significant response in
the HAL 5% group of 95% (18/19 patients) compared to 57%
(12/21 patients) in the placebo group $\langle P < .001 \rangle$ was observed at
3 months in women with CIN2, including an encouraging 83% (5/6)
patients) dearance of HPV 16/18 compared to 33% (2/6 patients)
in the placebo group at 6 months. The treatment was easy to use
and well accepted by patients and gynecologists. Only local self-
limiting adverse reactions including discharge, discomfort, and
spotting were reported.
