Novan’s Phase 2 SB206 Study Published in Journal of American Academy of Dermatology

Novan  (NASDAQ:NOVN) has announced that its Phase 2 molluscum study has been published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

As quoted in the press release:

In this Phase 2 study, SB206 demonstrated clinical efficacy with a favorable safety profile.

“The publication of this Phase 2 study through a prestigious platform such as JAAD underscores Novan’s innovative nitric-oxide technology and provides exposure to the results that supported our decision to progress into a Phase 3 molluscum program. There remains an unmet medical need for an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment that can be applied at home by patients or caregivers,” commented Tomoko Maeda-Chubachi, M.D., Ph.D., Novan’s Vice President of Medical Dermatology. Dr. Maeda-Chubachi further commented, “We look forward to reporting out the results from our Phase 3 B-SIMPLE pivotal program in the near future.”
