Biofrontera Inc. announces database lock of Phase 3 study of Ameluz-PDT

Biofrontera announced the database for the treatment phase of study ALA-BCC-CT013 has been locked. The database lock is an important milestone in the lifecycle of a clinical trial, marking the end of data collection and the point at which no further changes can be made to the trial database. The clinical data are now ready for final analysis. This Phase 3 trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ameluz-PDT in combination with the BF-RhodoLED lamp for the treatment of sBCC. It is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled multi-center study involving 186 patients with one or more clinically and histologically confirmed superficial BCCs. They each received one cycle of two PDT treatments 1-2 weeks apart, repeated after three months if required. The primary endpoint is the composite complete clinical and histological clearance of the target BCC lesion 12 weeks after the start of the last PDT cycle. Secondary efficacy parameters and drug safety were evaluated. In addition to the final study report, the FDA requires the inclusion in the submission of follow-up data obtained 1 year after the first PDT. The last patient is expected to complete this follow up by December of this year, and submission is targeted for Q1 2025.
