All 172 patients have now entered the 12-month follow-up phaseTrial involves larger surface areas, building on the approval in October 2024 for use of up to 3 tubes of Ameluz® per treatmentStudy results expected to form the basis of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) planned for submission in Q2 2026 WOBURN, Mass., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq: BFRI) (“Biofrontera” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and commercialization of photodynamic therapy (PDT), today announced that the final patient completed the active treatment phase of its Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ameluz® (10% 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride gel) PDT for mild to moderate actinic keratoses (AKs) on the extremities, neck and trunk on September 3, 2025. All 172 enrolled patients have now entered the 12-month follow-up phase, expected to conclude in Q2 2026. Actinic keratosis is a common precancerous skin condition found on sun-exposed areas of the body: 58 million US adults have at least one AK lesion1. If left untreated these may progress to cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas, with more than 70% originating from AK lesions2. Expanding treatment options for AKs beyond the face and scalp would therefore address a critical unmet need in dermatology. This Phase 3 study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ameluz® PDT versus vehicle gel in the treatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) on the extremities, neck and trunk. PDT was administered using a RhodoLED® or BF-RhodoLED® XL lamp following application of one to three tubes of either Ameluz® or vehicle to areas of approximately 80, 160 or 240 cm². Patients received a single PDT treatment, with a second one at 12 weeks if residual lesions remained. They are now being followed for 12 months to assess recurrence and new lesion development. In total, 172 subjects were enrolled in the study. “We are delighted to reach this stage in our clinical program,” said Dr. Hermann Luebbert, CEO and Chairman of Biofrontera Inc. “Building on the recent FDA approval for the use of up to 3 tubes of Ameluz® per treatment, today’s milestone marks another step in broadening the label and market potential for this product. Together, these developments reflect Biofrontera’s strategic progress toward leadership in PDT.” Dr. Nathalie Zeitouni, Mohs surgeon and clinical investigator at Medical Dermatology Specialists, Professor of Dermatology at the University of Arizona COM Phoenix and the coordinating investigator in the study, expressed enthusiasm about its’ potential impact. “We frequently see people with AKs on the trunk and extremities, and current treatment options are limited. Expanding the use of Ameluz® PDT to these areas would be a welcome advancement for dermatologists and our patients.” The 12-month follow-up phase is expected to be completed by Q2 2026. Pending positive outcomes, the company plans to submit a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that same quarter. About Actinic Keratosis AK is the most common pre-cancerous skin lesion caused by chronic sun exposure that may, if left untreated, develop into life-threatening skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. AKs typically appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, bald scalp, arms or the back of the hands. In 2020, approximately 58 million people in the US were affected by AK and 13 million AK treatments were performed.1 About Biofrontera Inc.
