This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center trial in subjects diagnosed with Actinic Keratosis (AK) where each subject serves as their own control. The trial will be conducted at 2 sites, one in Germany and one in the United States. Approximately 60 subjects will be randomized to ensure 51 subjects complete the study.
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Swift Microwave Treatment on resolution of Actinic Keratosis lesions.
The secondary objectives of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Swift Microwave treatment as a therapy for Actinic Keratosis (AK).
Eligible subjects who provide written informed consent and have 10, 12 or 14 distinct Actinic Keratosis lesions located on their scalp or hands will be randomized onto the study. Randomization of AK lesions will be stratified by side. Subjects will be randomized to treatment on half the number of AK lesions mapped located on their scalp or hands. The mapped AK lesions not randomized for treatment will receive no treatment (control).
The microwave energy applied by the Swift device will be applied to the randomized AK lesion sites for up to 2 treatments, spaced out by a 4-week interval. Follow-up is 2-months after the first treatment is administered where the AK lesions are assessed for resolution. Further follow-up visits occur at 4-months, 6-months and 12-months after the first treatment was administered where the AK lesions will be assessed for resolution or reoccurence.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microwave Treatment (Swift System) | Experimental | 3-4 Watts applied locally for up to a 3 second burst to each AK lesion, repeated 3 times per lesion. Burst is defined as a single delivery of microwave energy. There will be approximately 20 seconds between each repeat dose. |
|
| No Treatment | No Intervention | No Treatment administered |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift System | Device | Localized microwave energy applied to the distinct AK lesion. Each subject will receive treatment for a maximum of 2 visits (4-week interval between treatment). For AK lesions assessed as "Thin" AK (Olsen Grades 1 and 2): Set at 3W and apply locally for up to a 3 second burst and adjust the dose and duration. Repeat on the same AK lesion as is tolerable for the subject (3 repetitions). There will be approximately 20 seconds between each repeat dose. For AK lesions assessed as "Thick" AK (Olsen Grade 3): Set at 4W and apply locally for up to a 3 second burst and adjust the dose and duration. Repeat on the same AK lesion as is tolerable for the subject (3 repetitions). As the AK lesions may be larger than 3mm in diameter, the dose administered to one AK lesion may require overlapping applications with the applicator tip. Ensure there is approximately 20 seconds between each repeat dose administered |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

This is an open label study, however, there is a blinded site investigator at each site who will not be aware of the AK lesions that are randomized to treatment. The blinded site investigator will assess resolution and reoccurrence of the AK lesions. Photos of the AK lesions will be taken and these will be reviewed by three independent blinded assessors to assess cosmetic outcomes.

| Percentage of Actinic Keratosis lesions cleared across all study lesions following Swift Microwave treatment | 2, 4 and 6 months post first treatment |
| OCT Analysis as assessed by an AK Classification System | AK Lesions classified as Not Present, AK I (Grade I mild), AK II (Grade II, moderate) or AK III (Grade III severe) | Baseline and 2, 4 and 6 months post first treatment |
| Proportion of subjects with reoccurrence of any Actinic Keratosis lesions at 6 months, as classified by the blinded site investigator. The subject's AK lesion must be classified as completely resolved at 2 months to be considered a reoccurrence. | 6 months post first treatment |
