Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall Patient Complete Response Rate Assessed 12 Weeks After the Last PDT
12 weeks after the last PDT (please note: 2 PDT cycles, each cycle consisting of 2 PDTs (= maximum of 4 PDTs per patient) was possible).

Overall patient complete response rate assessed 12 weeks after the last PDT. The indicated values give the percentage of overall complete responders. An overall complete responder is defined as a patient in whom all treated lesions were cleared. The PP set is the primary analysis set for the analyses of the primary endpoint.

Secondary Endpoints

Lesion Complete Response Assessed 12 Weeks After the Last PDT
12 weeks after the last PDT (please note: 2 PDT cycles, each cycle consisting of 2 PDTs (= maximum of 4 PDTs per patient) was possible).
Reduction of Lesion Area 12 Weeks After the Last PDT Compared to Baseline
12 weeks after the last PDT (please note: 2 PDT cycles, each cycle consisting of 2 PDTs (= maximum of 4 PDTs per patient) was possible).
Patient Complete Response 12 Weeks After PDT-2
12 weeks after PDT-2 (=PDT cycle 1; please note: in this study 2 PDT cycles, each cycle consisting of 2 PDTs (= maximum of 4 PDTs per patient) was possible).

Frequently asked questions about BF-200 ALA

What is BF-200 ALA used for?

BF-200 ALA is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). It is administered with photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the field-directed treatment of actinic keratosis and for non-aggressive basal cell carcinoma. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

How does BF-200 ALA work?

BF-200 ALA is a small molecule used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). It is a formulation of aminolevulinic acid that is applied to the skin and activated by light to treat actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma. The therapy targets abnormal skin cells in the treated area.

Who is developing BF-200 ALA?

BF-200 ALA is being developed by Biofrontera Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. The company is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol BFRI. Biofrontera is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BF-200 ALA for dermatological conditions.

What phase is BF-200 ALA in?

BF-200 ALA is in Phase 3 clinical development for actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma. It is an investigational drug that has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The development program includes completed Phase 3 trials evaluating its use with photodynamic therapy for these skin conditions.

What clinical trials has BF-200 ALA been in?

BF-200 ALA has been studied in four completed clinical trials. These include NCT01966120, a Phase 3 trial for actinic keratosis in Germany with 87 participants; NCT02144077, a Phase 3 trial for basal cell carcinoma with 281 participants; NCT02799069, a Phase 3 trial for actinic keratosis with 571 participants; and NCT05060237, a Phase 1 trial in the United States with 112 participants.

Is BF-200 ALA the same as Ameluz?

BF-200 ALA is also known as Ameluz. In clinical trials, it is referred to as BF-200 ALA (Ameluz) for photodynamic therapy. The drug is being studied for the treatment of actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma under this brand name.
