Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Subjects were screened in 20 sites—16 in the United States of America (U.S.A.) and 4 in Canada. Screening began on 01 Jun 2009 and the last subject was enrolled on 03 Aug 2009.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Subjects had to have ≥10 AK lesions in an area the face to participate in the study. At screening, at least 5 visible lesions were not treated with cryosurgery, and 5 to 14 visible lesions were treated with cryosurgery. Subjects needed at least 5 AK lesions after the skin healed sufficiently from the cryosurgery to be eligible for randomization.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
A treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) was an AE that began or worsened in severity after the first application of study drug. TEAEs were summarized for each treatment group by overall incidence, descending order, relationship to study drug, and severity.
