The enrollment criteria specified that subjects must have two comparable target AD lesions for treatment upon entry. Target lesions were randomized and treated twice daily with either FMX114 or vehicle gel. Efficacy data for the Phase 2a trial was measured based on the absolute and percent change relative to baseline in the ADSI scoring assessment1 at week 4. Mean ADSI scores for FMX114 and vehicle treated lesions were 6.6 and 6.9, respectively, at baselineMean reduction in ADSI score from baseline was -4.05 (-60.62% mean reduction) for FMX114 treated lesions compared to -3.48 (-51.32% mean reduction) for vehicle treated lesions at week 4 (p=0.228, OC, ITT) “We’re obviously very disappointed by the outcome of this trial for FMX114,” said David Domzalski, Chief Executive Officer of VYNE. “We will continue to thoroughly review the full data set and complete our analysis.
