An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of investigational medicinal product (IMP), whether or not considered related to the IMP.

SAR444727 5% BID per lesionEXPERIMENTALDuring the double-blinded period, 2 target lesions per participant (with difference no greater than 1 point in total sign scores \[TSS\]) were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either SAR44727 Gel 5 percent (%) or matching placebo (i.e., each participant was treated with both SAR444727 5% BID and placebo in parallel). During open-label period, participants applied SAR444727 Gel, 5% twice daily (BID) to the all atopic dermatitis (AD)-affected areas, except the scalp, palms, soles and genitals through Days 15 to 42.

Frequently asked questions about PRN473

What is PRN473 used for?

PRN473 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It is intended for topical administration in patients with mild to moderate disease. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved for any indication.

What does PRN473 target?

PRN473 targets Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a protein involved in immune cell signaling. By inhibiting BTK, the drug is designed to modulate inflammatory pathways associated with atopic dermatitis. This targeted approach is being evaluated for topical treatment of the condition.

Who is developing PRN473?

PRN473 is being developed by Sanofi, a global pharmaceutical company. Sanofi trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SNY. The company is responsible for the clinical development of PRN473, including the completed Phase 2a trial in atopic dermatitis.

What phase is PRN473 in?

PRN473 is in Phase 2 clinical development. A Phase 2a trial has been completed, and the drug remains investigational. It has not been approved by the FDA or any regulatory agency for atopic dermatitis or any other indication.

What clinical trials is PRN473 in?

PRN473 has been evaluated in one completed clinical trial: NCT04992546, a Phase 2a study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of topically administered PRN473 in patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. The trial enrolled 39 patients across the United States and Canada.

Is PRN473 the same as SAR444727?

Yes, PRN473 is also known as SAR444727. Both names refer to the same investigational small molecule developed by Sanofi for atopic dermatitis. The dual naming reflects Sanofi's internal compound designation system.
