Assessing the Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy for Preventing Surgical Site Infections
This is a randomised, unblinded interventional device proof of concept pilot trial in which patients undergoing nasal surgery will be selected for either photodisinfection therapy (PDT) with the Steriwave™ ND System, or control with nares swabbed with 'photosensitizer formulation' preoperatively. This trial will primarily assess the safety and efficacy of …
A Dose-escalation Clinical Study of Intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy of Glioblastoma
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of two doses of light in intraoperative PDT added to standard of care; temozolomide-based chemotherapy in male and female patients aged 18 to 75 with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. This treatment will be carried out in addition …
Efficacy and Safety of Photodynamic Therapy for Cervical and Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia
To investigate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (20% 5-amino-ketovalerate 630nm red light) in the treatment of cervical and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia in women in the real world.

Active Oxygen Releasing Gel With Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Stage III Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that can damage the tissues supporting the teeth. The standard treatment is scaling and root planing of the teeth and roots. However, in some patients, this treatment alone may not fully control inflammation and harmful bacteria. This study aims to evaluate whether adding an …
Alteration of the Immune Microenvironment in Basal Cell Carcinoma Following Photodynamic Therapy
The purpose of this study is to better understand the immune response to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) treated with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in order to develop new methods of treating BCC. Previous research suggests that PDT alters the immune response, possibly in a way that could promote better tumor clearance …
The Effect of Topical Imipramine on Pain and Effectiveness of Topical Photodynamic Therapy
The purpose of this study is testing the use of topical Imipramine in combination with topical photodynamic therapy's (PDT) effect on pain following treatment. PDT is a commonly used treatment in dermatology for patients who have many pre-cancers (actinic keratosis-AKs) on their skin. These are both FDA-approved treatments, but this …
Treatment of Non-resectable Bile Duct Cancer With Radiofrequency Ablation or Photodynamic Therapy
Bile duct cancer is often diagnosed after curative options are no longer available. Stent therapy is used to keep the ducts open and can be combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) to extend life expectancy. PDT requires an injection of photosensitizer after which light of a particular wavelength is applied endoscopically …
