Tacrolimus Blood Levels After Topical Application of Tacrolimus on Healthy Skin

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Drug: topical formulation of tacrolimus
Registration Number
NCT03673527
Lead Sponsor
LEO Pharma
Brief Summary

This is a phase I trial to evaluate tacrolimus blood levels after topical application of tacrolimus twice daily on healthy skin.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety of a topical formulation of tacrolimus.

Tacrolimus is commonly used in T-cell medicated diseases. It is expected that 24 subjects will be enrolled in the trial and will be assigned to receive topical application of tacrolimus twice daily for 14 days.
