Study summary

This is a phase 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study to be conducted in up to approximately 850 subjects 6 months of age and older with molluscum contagiosum (MC). Subjects or their caregivers will apply SB206 10.3% or Vehicle Gel once daily for a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 12 weeks to all lesions identified at Baseline and new treatable lesions that arise during the course of the study.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study to be conducted in up to approximately 850 subjects 6 months of age and older with molluscum contagiosum (MC). After obtaining informed consent/assent, subjects who satisfy entry criteria will be randomized 1:1 (active:vehicle). Subjects receiving current treatment for MC at the time of the Screening Visit will enter a wash out period of up to 14 days prior to randomization.

Subjects or their caregivers will apply treatment once daily to all lesions identified at Baseline and new lesions that arise during treatment for a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 12 weeks. If the investigator determines all lesions are cleared at a visit, the treatment may stop. If treatment is stopped due to clearance, subjects will continue regularly scheduled visits through Week 24/ET2. Study drug will be dispensed through Week 12/ET1 in case of lesion recurrence between study visits. At each visit subsequent to stopping treatment due to clearance, the investigator will determine if new lesions have occurred since the last visit, and if so, the subject or caregiver will be instructed by the investigator to re-initiate treatment. If the subject or caregiver see new lesions or re-occurrence of lesions in between visits, they should treat these lesions until the next visit. No study drug will be provided after the Week 12 visit. The subject or caregiver will apply study drug to the individual lesions. Periocular lesions will be treated if the lesions are at least 2 cm from the edge of the eye. Subjects will visit the clinic in person at Screening/Baseline, Week 2, Week 4 (unless visit is performed remotely), Week 8, Week 12, and Week 24.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete Clearance of All Treatable MC at Week 12

    Percent (proportion) of subjects with complete clearance of all treatable MC at Week 12. This was measured by dividing the number of subjects who showed complete clearance by the number in that treatment group (this represents our primary outcome variable).

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. A Lesion Count of 0 or 1 of All Treatable MC at Week 12

    Percent (proportion) of subjects achieving a lesion count of 0 or 1 of all treatable MC at Week 12.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

  2. 90% Reduction From Baseline in the Number of All Treatable MC at Week 12

    Percent (proportion) of subjects achieving at least a 90% reduction from Baseline in the number of all treatable MC at Week 12

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

  3. Complete Clearance of All Treatable MC at Week 8

    Percent (proportion) of subjects with complete clearance of all treatable MC at Week 8. This was measured by dividing the number of subjects who showed complete clearance at week 8 by the number in that treatment group (this represents our secondary outcome variable).

    Time frame: 8 Weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in the Number of All Treatable MC at Week 4

    Percent change from Baseline in the number of all treatable MC at Week 4

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 26, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
