Testing Use of Topical Imipramine in Reducing Ultraviolet B Induced Microvesicle Particle Release in Photosensitive Subjects

Pilot Studies Testing Use of Topical Imipramine in Reducing Ultraviolet B Induced Microvesicle Particle Release in Photosensitive Subjects


Sponsor

Wright State University

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Jun 6, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, researchers will assess whether subjects who have clinically abnormal reactions to sunlight (photosensitivity) have increased levels of microvesicle particles (MVP) following ultraviolet B (UVB) treatment to localized area of skin. Second, researchers will assess if topical application of the medicine imipramine will block UVB-induced MVP release. Third, researchers will assess if the topical cream will block UVB-induced increased erythema reactions (reddening of the skin).
