PARSIPPANY, New Jersey, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Ingenol mebutate was proven efficacious with a once-daily application for only 2 or 3 days

Today, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published an analysis of pooled results from LEO Pharma's four Phase III clinical trials for ingenol mebutate gel, demonstrating that ingenol mebutate gel is safe and effective for the treatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) on the trunk-extremities or face-scalp with only 2 or 3 days use, respectively.[1]
