Primary outcomes
- Percentage of Participants With Complete Response 12 Weeks After the Last Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), ITT — 12 weeks after the last PDT, up to 24 weeks after the first treatment
An overall complete responder was defined as a subject in whom all treated lesions were cleared (all lesions showing complete remission) 12 weeks after the last PDT. The outcome measure considered complete responders who were completely cleared 12 weeks after the first PDT and responders who were completely cleared 12 weeks after the second PDT if a re-treatment was necessary (in case of partial- or non-responding lesions 12 weeks after the first PDT) - Percentage of Participants With Complete Response 12 Weeks After the Last Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), PP — 12 weeks after the last PDT, up to 24 weeks after the first treatment
An overall complete responder was defined as a subject in whom all treated lesions were cleared (all lesions showing complete remission) 12 weeks after the last PDT. The outcome measure considered complete responders who were completely cleared 12 weeks after the first PDT and responders who were completely cleared 12 weeks after the second PDT if a re-treatment was necessary (in case of partial- or non-responding lesions 12 weeks after the first PDT) - Percentage of Participants With Complete Response 12 Weeks After the Last Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Illuminated With Narrow Spectrum Devices Only — 12 weeks after the last PDT, up to 24 weeks after the first treatment
Subgroup analysis of patients treated with a narrow spectrum device for PDT Illumination (\~630 nm). An overall complete responder was defined as a subject in whom all treated lesions were cleared (all lesions showing complete remission) 12 weeks after the last PDT. The outcome measure considered complete responders who were completely cleared 12 weeks after the first PDT and responders who were completely cleared 12 weeks after the second PDT if a re-treatment was necessary (in case of partial- or non-responding lesions 12 weeks after the first PDT)
