NCT ID NCT07552077
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a gel called PTX-022 (sirolimus) on people aged 6 and older with angiokeratomas, which are small, raised skin spots. The study will check if the gel is safe and helps improve the appearance of these spots. Fifteen participants will apply the gel and be monitored for side effects and changes in their skin.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sirolimus topical gel (PTX-022)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this gel could offer a non-invasive treatment option for angiokeratomas, potentially reducing the need for more aggressive procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply widely. The gel may cause skin irritation or not improve the condition significantly.
