Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a contagious viral skin infection. Berdazimer gel, 10.3% (SB206 12%) is approved in the United States as the first topical, at-home MC prescription medication.
Objective
To assess safety and tolerability of SB206 12% in Japanese patients with MC.
Methods
SKN15B01 (JRCT2031230123) was a phase 2, multicenter, single-group, open-label study in Japanese patients ≥2 years old with 3-70 baseline MC lesions. Patients with only periocular MC and/or immunosuppression were excluded. SB206 12% was applied once daily to lesions for 12 weeks. Safety endpoints included adverse events and local skin reactions. Exploratory efficacy endpoints included percentage of patients with complete lesion clearance and lesion count percent change from baseline.
Results
Twenty patients (12 males, 8 females) with mean (range) age of 5.2 (3-13) years and mean (range) baseline lesion counts of 22.5 (8-44). Complete clearance and percent change from baseline at week 12 were 60% and −89.2%, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events were application site-erythema (25%, n = 5), -pain (25%, n = 5), -pruritis (25%, n = 5), and -dermatitis (20%, n = 4), all mild/moderate in severity.
Limitations
Single-group study; small sample size.
Conclusion
Safety and efficacy of berdazimer gel, 10.3% in Japanese patients were favorable and consistent with previous studies.

Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects palms and soles. Patients suffer significant pain, itching, and daily activity impairment. Guselkumab, an interleukin-23 inhibitor, has been approved for PPP treatment in Japan. However, there is no effective therapy licensed for PPP in Europe and the USA.
Objective
To explore the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in patients with moderate-to-severe PPP in the Caucasian population.
Methods
A multicenter, single-arm, phase II study involving 50 patients with moderate-to-severe PPP treated with 100 mg guselkumab subcutaneously for 24 weeks was conducted (GAP). Primary endpoint was the reduction of palmoplantar-pustulosis psoriasis area and severity index (PPPASI) at week 24 compared to baseline. Secondary endpoints included physician-assessed and patient-reported measures. Serum samples were taken for exploratory studies.
Results
The primary endpoint was met with a significant median PPPASI reduction by 59.6% at week 24 compared to baseline (P < .001). The proportions of patients achieving PPPASI-50 and PPPASI-75 at week 24 were 66.0% and 34.0%, respectively. Median dermatology life quality index dropped from 15 at baseline to 5 at week 24 (P < .001). Week 4 changes in interleukin-19 serum levels predicted week 24 clinical response.
Conclusion
Guselkumab may be a promising therapeutic option for PPP in Caucasian patients.
