A Pilot Study of Hemoporfin PDT in Children With Port-wine Stain

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hemoporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) with different light doses for port-wine stain (PWS） in 7-14 years old children. The population pharmacokinetics of hemoporfin in children will be investigated as well.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: low light dose<br>PDT is applied to the patients at low light dose : power density of 60mW/cm2 for 20 minutes | Drug: Hemoporfin PDT<br>* Photodynamic therapy is performed using hemoporfin. Hemoporfin（5mg/kg）is infused for 20 minutes, followed by light illumination at 10 minutes from the start of infusion. Different light dose of PDT is applied to the patients.<br>|
| Experimental: high light dose<br>PDT is applied to the patients at high light dose : power density of 75mW/cm2 for 20 minutes | Drug: Hemoporfin PDT<br>* Photodynamic therapy is performed using hemoporfin. Hemoporfin（5mg/kg）is infused for 20 minutes, followed by light illumination at 10 minutes from the start of infusion. Different light dose of PDT is applied to the patients.<br>|
