Clinical Trial Summary

An open-label trial to explore the safety and efficacy of SM-020 gel 1.0% in subjects with Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN). Approximately 10 subjects will be enrolled with DPNs to apply SM-020 gel 1.0%. Each subject must have a minimum of 5 eligible DPNTLs with a diameter ≥2mm but ≤5mm. A maximum of 10 DPNs per subject will be targeted for treatment. Subjects will apply the investigational product twice daily for 4 consecutive weeks. Subjects will be followed for 12 weeks post final application for a total of approximately 16 weeks of required participation in the study. A total of 5-10 eligible Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra Target Lesions (DPNTLs) will be treated per subject.

Must be free of any known disease state or physical condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of any DPNTL or which exposes the subject to an unacceptable risk by study participation. 8. Must be willing and able to follow all study instructions and to attend all study visits. 9. Must be willing to have all partial or incompletely responding DPNTLs removed surgically by shave excision during the final visit. Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion Criteria Subjects meeting any of the following criterion will be ineligible and excluded from this study: 1.

Chemotherapy; 180 days 3. Immunosuppressive therapy; 28 days 4. Biologics (e.g., interferon, interferon inducers, or immunomodulators); 28 days 5. Glucocorticosteroids; 28 days 6. Anti-metabolites (e.g., methotrexate); 28 days 7. Vismodegib; 180 days 8. Known photosensitizing medications or CYP3A inducers/inhibitors; 28 days 6. Any use of the following topical therapies within the specified period, or unwilling to meet the following washouts, prior to the Baseline visit and while on study, or in a proximity to any DPNTL, that in the Investigator's opinion could interfere with the investigational product study treatment applications or the study assessments: 1. Laser, light or other energy-based therapy [e.g., intense pulsed light (IPL), photo-dynamic therapy (PDT)]; 180 days 2. Liquid nitrogen, electrodesiccation, curettage, imiquimod, 5-flurouracil, or ingenol mebutate; 60 days 3. Retinoids; 28 days 4. Microdermabrasion or superficial chemical peels; 14 days 5. Glucocorticosteroids or antibiotics; 14 days 7. Occurrence or presence of any of the following within the specified period prior to the Baseline visit on or in the proximity of any DPNTL that, in the Investigator's opinion, could interfere with the investigational product study treatment applications or the study assessments: 1. Cutaneous malignancy; 180 days 2. Sunburn; currently 3. A pre-malignancy (e.g., actinic keratosis); currently 4. Body art (e.g., tattoos, piercing, etc.); currently 8. History of sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the investigational product. 9. Any current skin disease (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, eczema, sun damage, etc.), or other condition(s) (e.g., sunburn, excessive hair, open wounds, lupus, photosensitive disorders etc.) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might put the subject at undue risk by study participation or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations. 10. Participation in an investigational drug trial in which administration of an investigational study medication occurred within 30 days prior to the Screening visit. 11. History of hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Proportion of all DPNTLs that achieve clearance (DPNLA score of 0) The DPNLA is an Investigator assessment of DPN-variant of SK lesion severity based on presence of DPN and visibility of the DPN lesion.
0 Clear: no visible DPN lesion
Near Clear: a slightly visible DPN lesion; lesion may be macular
Small: a visible DPN lesion with a diameter of less than 3 mm
Large: a visible DPN lesion that is elevated with a diameter > 3mm
Through week 16
Primary Assessment of the severity of the Application Site Reactions and review of adverse events Signs and Symptoms of Application Site Reactions (ASRs) include pain, burning, stinging, pruritus, erythema, edema, exudation, erosion/ulceration, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation. Through week 16
Secondary Proportion of all DPNTLs achieving a DPNLA of 0 or 1 The DPNLA is an Investigator assessment of DPN-variant of SK lesion severity based on presence of DPN and visibility of the DPN lesion. Through week 16
Secondary Time to DPNTLs achieving a DPNLA of 0 The DPNLA is an Investigator assessment of DPN-variant of SK lesion severity based on presence of DPN and visibility of the DPN lesion. Through week 16
Secondary Percentage of subjects achieving clearance of all DPNTLs Through week 16
Secondary Percentage of subjects achieving clearance of at least 60% of all DPNTLs Through week 16
Secondary Percentage of all DPNTLs per subject achieving a DPNLA of 0 The DPNLA is an Investigator assessment of DPN-variant of SK lesion severity based on presence of DPN and visibility of the DPN lesion. Through week 16
Secondary Percentage of all DPNTLs with a SSA (Subject's Self-Assessment) of 0 or 1 The SSA is a subject's self-reported assessment of DPN lesion severity based on presence and visible elevation of a DPN lesion. The SSA will be determined by all subjects for each DPNTL at all study visits from Visit 1/Screening to Visit 9/Last Visit
0 No visible DPN lesion
Mild: Slightly raised DPN lesion
Moderate: Obviously raised DPN lesion
