Medicus making its move with basal cell carcinoma candidate

6 March 2025

USA-based Medicus Pharma (Nasdaq: MDCX) has announced a positive-trending interim analysis for the SKNJCT-003 Phase II study, which aims to treat non-invasively basal cell carcinoma of the skin (BCC).

SKNJCT-003 is currently underway at nine clinical sites in the USA, and is expected to randomize 60 patients. The interim analysis was conducted after more than 50% of the targeted 60 patients in the study were randomized.

The proportion of subjects with complete clinical clearance is at more than 60%. The analysis also shows the investigational product, D-MNA was well tolerated for both dose levels, a low-dose group receiving 100ug of D-MNA and a high-dose group receiving 200ug of D-MNA in all participants so far enrolled, with no dose-limiting toxicities or serious adverse events.
