About
Currently the first line treatment for BCCs on exposed areas such as the face and neck is Mohs Surgery which becomes increasingly challenging and leads to permanent scarring and disfiguration. As patients age as they may undergo hundreds of surgeries. Inhibitor believes that itraconazole has clinically meaningful effects on the BCCs, which led us to recruit a team of five experienced Mohs surgeons to form a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to critically review the outcomes of Inhibitor's phase 2b trial in BCCNS. They are academically affiliated, well-respected leaders in the practice of treating basal cell carcinomas and other skin cancers The purpose of the SAB is to assess the clinical benefits of adding itraconazole to the therapeutic options for the basal cell carcinomas in these patients.
