Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new injection called Ronkyla Plus for treating superficial lipomas (fatty lumps under the skin). The drug forms a gel at the injection site, aiming to dissolve the fat more comfortably. The study involves 56 adults and compares Ronkyla Plus to a placebo and an existing treatment (Kybella).
