The main objective of this study is to evaluate the dose-response relationship of two concentrations of A-101 solution when applied to individual seborrheic keratosis (SK) lesions (target lesions) compared with a matching A-101 Solution Vehicle.

Full description

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the dose-response relationship of two concentrations of A-101solution when applied to individual seborrheic keratosis (SK) lesions (target lesions) compared with a matching A-101 Solution Vehicle.

Each subject will have 4 target lesions on the trunk/extremities.

A further objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two concentrations of A-101 solution and its matching vehicle when applied to SK target lesions on the trunk/extremities.

4. Subject has a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring

5. Subject has used any of the following systemic therapies within the specified period prior to Visit 1:

   • Retinoids; 180 days
   • Glucocorticosteroids; 28 days
   • Anti-metabolites (e.g., methotrexate); 28 days

6. Subject has used any of the following topical therapies within the specified period prior to Visit 1 on, or in a proximity to the target lesion, that in the investigator's opinion, interferes with the application of the study medication or the study assessments:

   • LASER, light (e.g., intense pulsed light (IPL), photo-dynamic therapy (PDT)) or other energy based therapy; 180 days
   • Retinoids; 90 days
   • Liquid nitrogen, electrodesiccation, curettage, imiquimod, 5-fluorouracil, or ingenol mebutate; 60 days

7. Subject currently has or has had any of the following within the specified period prior to Visit 1 on or in a proximity to the target lesion that, in the investigator's opinion, interferes with the application of the study medication or the study assessments:

   • A cutaneous malignancy; 180 days

   • Body art (e.g., tattoos, piercing, etc.); currently
   • Excessive tan; currently

8. Subject has a history of sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the study medications

9. Subject has any current skin disease (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, eczema, sun damage, etc.), or condition (e.g., sunburn, excessive hair, open wounds) that, in the opinion of the investigator, might put the subject at undue risk by study participation or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations
