The purpose of this study was to evaluate a polymer-based film-forming technology as a treatment for mature hypertrophic scars and keloids in a 16-week clinical trial. The product is an acetone and polymer-based skin coating that is applied to the skin as a liquid that rapidly dries (~15 – 30 seconds) to form a thin film. The polymer formulation contains no silicone…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel polymer-based topical vehicle to deliver miconazole to human skin. The current study compared the dermato-pharmacokinetic uptake/elimination profiles of miconazole nitrate in a cream vehicle and miconazole base in the novel polymer delivery vehicle. To account for the differences in weight between the base and nitrate forms of miconazole, the drug concentrations were 1.738% miconazole base in the polymer vehicle and 2% miconazole nitrate in the cream…
