INV-001

Target Type of Molecule Indication Route of Administration Status
Undisclosed Repurposed drug/
Small molecule		 Scar Topical Phase II
  • Summary INV-001 is a new drug development project of topically administered small-molecule for hypertrophic scar and keloid by inhibiting collagen production in fibroblast. Phase 2 trial is completed in Korea. In the group that received the clinical drug at a high (2%) dose for 12 weeks without major protocol violations, a statistically significant difference (p<0.05, ANCOVA; Analysis of Covariance) was observed compared to the placebo, with a 24.5% reduction in scars at week 12, as confirmed through per-protocol set. ※ For business development and licensing inquiries, please contact the BD manager at bd@innovothera.com.
