At the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Summer Meeting, data from a pilot study of Samcyprone (diphenylcyclopropenone ointment) in the treatment of common warts was presented. Overall, 38.1% of subjects saw a greater than 50% clearance over seven weeks compared to 6.7% in the placebo arm (p=0.051). On a per-protocol basis, 47.6% saw greater than 50% clearance (p=0.011). A Phase IIa with an improved formulation and 10-week treatment period was initiated in December 2015, with enrolment expected to be completed by year-end 2016.
