Biofrontera Inc. Announces Last Patient Out in Phase I Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability in Treating Actinic Keratosis Using 3 Tubes of Ameluz(R)

WOBURN, MA / ACCESSWIRE / April 26, 2023 / Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ:BFRI), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the commercialization of dermatological products, today announced that that the last patient in a Phase I study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ameluz® - PDT for treatment of mild to severe actinic keratosis on the face and scalp in the expanded treatment field using 3 tubes of BF-200 ALA 10% gel (Ameluz) has now completed the study. This Phase 1 clinical study is being conducted by Biofrontera Bioscience GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Biofrontera AG. Top line results from the study are expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.

"We are pleased to announce the completion of the last patient visit in this Phase I study, which represents an important advancement in the treatment of AK with Ameluz - PDT," said Erica Monaco, Chief Executive Officer of Biofrontera, Inc. "We look forward to reviewing the top line results and anticipate that with FDA approval, AK treatments using 3 tubes of Ameluz can have benefits for both patients and physicians through treatment of a wider affected area while potentially requiring fewer office visits."

About Actinic Keratosis

Actinic keratosis (AK) is the most common pre-cancerous skin lesion caused by chronic sun exposure that may, if left untreated, develop into life-threatening skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. AKs typically appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, bald scalp, arms or the back of the hands. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, in the U.S. AK affected approximately 58 million people in 2020 and an estimated 13 million AK treatments were performed.
