  Purpose

The DIMUVA study aims to evaluate the correlation between cutaneous phototype and the nature and quantity of damage caused to cutaneous DNA after exposure to UV-A radiation.

Official Title: Damage to DNA Caused by UV-A Irradiation: Photochemical Mechanism and Cutaneous Parameters Involved in the Formation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers

Further study details as provided by University Hospital, Grenoble:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Phototype determination according to the Fitzpatrick classification Number of CPD and oxidative lesions determinated by the analysis of DNA from the skin biopsies after their ex-vivo exposure to UV-A - The CPD / Oxidative lesions ratio [ Time Frame: Day 0 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of CPD and oxidative lesions determinated by the analysis of DNA from the skin biopsies after their exposure ex-vivo to UV-B. [ Time Frame: Day 0 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • UV-A radiation exposure: Minimal erythemic dose - Number of CPD and oxidative lesions - CPD / oxidative lesions ratio [ Time Frame: Day x ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • UV-B radiation exposure: Minimal erythemic dose - Number of CPD and oxidative lesions - CPD/oxidative lesions ratio [ Time Frame: Day 0 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • antioxidant status and quantity of CPD, oxidative lesions after exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiations [ Time Frame: day 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 24
Study Start Date: March 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
phototype 2: Experimental
Volunteers with cutaneous phototype 2
Radiation: UVA and UVB irradiation
  • 4 cutaneous biopsies for Ex-vivo irradiation
  • Determination of the minimal erythemic dose of UVA and UVB for each volunteer
phototype 4: Experimental
Volunteers with cutaneous phototype 4
Radiation: UVA and UVB irradiation
  • 4 cutaneous biopsies for Ex-vivo irradiation
  • Determination of the minimal erythemic dose of UVA and UVB for each volunteer

Detailed Description:

Due to their capacity to damage Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation is one of the causes of skin cancers.

Until recently, the genotoxic effects of UV-A radiation, were poorly identified, in particular their capacity to lead to the dimerization of pyrimidine bases . It is well known that the response to UV-A and UV-B radiations is different depending on the cutaneous phototype.

Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the correlation between cutaneous phototype and the quantity and nature (CPD or oxidative lesions) of damage caused to cutaneous DNA after an ex-vivo exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiations.
