Figure 1 Subject disposition at each study phase as
of February 16, 2004.
Figure 2 Average maximum severity of LSRs at each
visit as assessed by the investigator, (A) summarizes
erythema, edema, induration, and vesicles, whereas (B)
summarizes erosion, ulceration, scabbing/crusting, and
flaking/scaling.
Figure 3 A representative subject demonstrating the
overall therapeutic cycle for imiquimod 5% cream when used 5 ×/week
for 6 weeks. Photo (A) shows a superficial basal cell
carcinoma (sBCC) on the right upper back prior to treatment with
imiquimod cream, whereas (B) is the same subject after 6
weeks of treatment showing moderate edema and mild erythema,
induration, erosion, and scabbing/crusting. At the 12-week
posttreatment visit (C), this same subject showed moderate
erythema and clinical clearance of the treated sBCC. Photo
(D) is the same subject at month 3 of follow-up showing mild
erythema, edema, and scabbing/crusting. At month 6 of follow-up
(E), only mild erythema was reported. At month 24
(F), all LSRs had resolved and the subject continues to be
clinically clear of sBCC.
