It allows reduced intra-patient and inter-patient variability for both the patients and prescribers while enabling predictable clinical response, and also limits drug quantity to generate required therapeutic blood levels.

The open-label, Phase IIb clinical trial involved 13 patients afflicted with BCCNS displaying basal cell carcinoma (BCC) target tumours with ten surgically eligible lesions, and had experienced surgical removal of ten BCC tumours.

The patients were administered with SUBA-Itraconazole dosing for 16 weeks.

Results displayed no further increase of the size of the tumour, and a reduction in its size has been observed.

BCCNS causes development of multiple basal cell carcinomas requiring surgery and leading to disfigurement, particularly while treating facial tumours.

HPPI believes that a reduction or complete obliteration of the tumour can delay or eliminate the requirement of surgery, hence avoiding disfigurement.

HPPI’s dosing regimen additionally demonstrated tolerability with Grade 1 or no toxicity reported in most of the patients.
