Clinical Study of NPC-12Y Gel in Patients With Skin Lesions Associated With TSC

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
• Interventions: Drug: NPC-12Y gel; Drug: NPC-12Y placebo gel

• Registration Number: NCT05495425
• Lead Sponsor: Nobelpharma

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NPC-12Y gel compared with placebo for skin lesions associated with tuberous sclerosis.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, placebo-controlled comparative study of NPC-12Y gel in patients with skin lesions associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Patients who meet all entry criteria for this study will apply NPC-12Y gel or placebo twice a day for 12 weeks. After the double-blind evaluation period, all patients will apply NPC-12Y gel twice a day for 52 weeks. Approximately 40 eligible patients will be enrolled
