Frequently asked questions about Mapracorat

What is Mapracorat used for?

Mapracorat is an investigational topical small molecule developed for inflammatory skin conditions, specifically atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. It has been studied as an ointment applied to affected skin in adults with atopic dermatitis and in plaque psoriasis. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does Mapracorat target?

Mapracorat targets NR3C1, the glucocorticoid receptor, and acts as an agonist at that receptor. This receptor mediates the anti-inflammatory effects associated with corticosteroid drugs. By binding and activating NR3C1, mapracorat is designed to reduce skin inflammation in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Who makes Mapracorat?

Mapracorat is developed by Bayer AG, which trades over the counter in the United States under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer sponsored the clinical studies of the compound in dermatology indications, including the atopic dermatitis and psoriasis trials conducted in Germany, South Africa, and Japan.

What phase is Mapracorat in?

Mapracorat is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or any other indication. All reported trials of the drug have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is Mapracorat in?

Completed studies include NCT01359787, a Phase 2 trial of different mapracorat ointment concentrations over four weeks in atopic dermatitis with 197 patients, plus two Phase 2 HPA axis studies, NCT01408511 in South Africa and NCT01407510 in Japan. A Phase 1 psoriasis plaque test, NCT03399526, was also completed in Germany.

Is Mapracorat the same as ZK 245186 or BAY 86-5319?

Yes. Mapracorat is also known as ZK 245186 and BAY 86-5319, which are earlier and alternate identifiers for the same Bayer compound. Searches using any of these three names refer to the same investigational topical glucocorticoid receptor agonist studied in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
