Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride

First Phase 3 PDT study in patients with sBCC in the United States. Primary and secondary endpoints all highly statistically significant p Correlates to data seen in Europe where sBCC is already incorporated in the Summary of Product Characteristics. BCC is the most common skin cancer in the US, with more than 3 million cases each year1. Oct. 31, 2024 -- Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq: BFRI) (“Biofrontera” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and commercialization of PDT, today announced top-line results in its Phase 3 study of the use of Ameluz® with the BF-RhodoLED® lamp in the treatment of sBCC (study ALA-BCC-CT013). The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center study evaluated safety and efficacy in 187 patients with one or more clinically and histologically confirmed superficial BCCs. They each received one cycle of two PDT treatments (either Ameluz®-PDT or placebo-PDT) 1-2 weeks apart, repeated after three months, if required. The primary endpoint was a composite of complete clinical and histological clearance of one preselected “main target” BCC lesion per patient 12 weeks after the start of the last PDT cycle. Ameluz®-PDT achieved 65.5% success (95/145 subjects) in this rigorous target, compared to 4.8% success (2/42 subjects) achieved with placebo-PDT (p® arm, compared to 19.0% (8/42) with placebo. Complete clinical clearance was achieved in 83.4% (121/145) of patients treated with Ameluz® compared to 21.4% (8/42) with placebo. The results for all other secondary efficacy parameters were equally highly significant (p®-PDT patients achieving total clearance of all sBCC lesions compared to only 4.8% of those treated with placebo-PDT. Most patients who received Ameluz®-PDT rated the overall treatment satisfaction and esthetic outcome as very good (64.3%) or good (22.2%).” “We are delighted that these highly significant results mirror those found in the European studies,” stated Dr. Hermann Luebbert, CEO and Chairman of Biofrontera. He added, “Once we finish the one-year follow up phase in December, we will be in a position to submit our dossier to the FDA around the end of Q2 / early Q3 of 2025”. “I have used Ameluz®-PDT in my practice for many years for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis, and we were pleased to be a part of such an extensive and rigorous study to examine its use in patients with superficial BCC,” said Dr. David Pariser of Virginia Clinical Research and Pariser Dermatology, and Coordinating Investigator for the study. “I am excited that the potential FDA approval may provide me with a new non-invasive option for my patients that may not involve potential scarring, or repeated office visits for ionizing radiation, and which could therefore lead to reduced patient burden and a beneficial cosmetic outcome,” commented Dr. Todd Schlesinger, board certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, and main contributor to the study. BCC is the most common form of skin cancer and the most frequently occurring form of all cancers. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 3.6 million cases are diagnosed each year, a subset of which is superficial basal cell carcinoma. BCCs arise from abnormal, uncontrolled growth of basal cells at the bottom of the epidermis. They rarely spread beyond the original tumor site but, if untreated, can become locally invasive, grow wide and deep into the skin, and destroy skin, tissue and bone.1 1 https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/basal-cell-carcinoma/ Biofrontera is a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company specializing in the treatment of dermatological conditions with a focus on PDT.

Data from a wide range of the Sun Pharma dermatology portfolio, including data on alopecia areata, psoriasis, acne and actinic keratosis products, will be highlighted during the meeting. MUMBAI, India and PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (Reuters: SUN.BO, Bloomberg: SUNP IN, NSE: SUNPHARMA, BSE: 524715 (together with its subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies, "Sun Pharma") today announced it will present more than a dozen posters at the 44th Annual Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, being held October 24-27, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The presentations will include data from across the Sun Pharma dermatology portfolio, including study results for LEQSELVI™ (deuruxolitinib), WINLEVI® (clascoterone), ILUMYA® (tildrakizumab-asmn), ODOMZO® (sonidegib) and LEVULAN® KERASTICK® (aminolevulinic acid HCl) + BLU-U® (blue light photodynamic therapy). "As an organization dedicated to supporting the dermatology community, the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference offers a vitally important forum to present new data and highlight how Sun's innovative dermatology portfolio can support those living with alopecia areata, psoriasis, acne and other skin-related diseases," said Marek Honczarenko, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Development at Sun Pharma. "We look forward to sharing data from across our portfolio with the dermatology research community and our esteemed industry colleagues." Six abstracts, accepted for poster presentations, will highlight clinical efficacy and safety data of LEQSELVI™ (deuruxolitinib). Approved earlier this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata, LEQSELVI™ is an oral JAK inhibitor that interrupts the pathways thought to contribute to hair loss in severe AA and delivered statistically significant efficacy at 24 weeks across two Phase 3 clinical trials. LEQSELVI™ data being presented at Fall Clinical showcase pooled long-term results for ongoing clinically meaningful improvements in scalp hair regrowth in adults with alopecia areata. Additionally, two posters will present patient and clinician preferences for the treatment of alopecia areata. The WINLEVI® poster presentations will include new data showing significant reductions in casual facial sebum levels from baseline, stability in the presence of other commonly prescribed acne medications, and efficacy and safety from a pilot study in patients with skin of color. The conference will also feature data from three additional WINLEVI® studies.
