BioCis Pharma Reports Positive Phase IIa Clinical Results in Atopic Dermatitis

Date:7/3/2009

TURKU, Finland, July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- BioCis Pharma Ltd., a privately held drug development company with its headquarters in Turku, Finland, announced positive results from its Phase IIa clinical trial of ProtoCure(TM) emulsion cream, the company's novel topical drug for dermatology.

Physician assessments, such as Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) were also evaluated. ProtoCure emulsion cream was superior to placebo in decreasing skin redness and improving skin barrier function. Statistically significant improvement was observed as early as day 10 after begining treatment. There was also a significant improvement in EASI score over the whole treatment period for ProtoCure emulsion cream as a sign of positive treatment effect. The EASI score difference did not reach statistical significance when compared to placebo, mainly due to the small number of patients studied.

"We are very pleased with the promising results of this study," says Lasse Leino, CEO of BioCis Pharma. "Skin barrier dysfunction is now recognized as a hallmark feature of atopic dermatitis. Any drug showing capacity for restoring this disturbance has signi
