Journey Medical announces results from Phase 1 trial of DFD-29

Journey Medical (DERM) announced that results from the Phase 1 clinical trial assessing the impact of low-dose oral minocycline, DFD-29, on skin, gastrointestinal and vaginal microflora in healthy adults were published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, a leading peer-reviewed publication in clinical dermatology. The clinical trial also assessed the safety and tolerability of the treatment. The results indicate that DFD-29 administration for 16 weeks had no detectable effects on skin, GI tract or vaginal microflora and it was well tolerated in healthy adults, supporting its use as a therapeutic option for patients with moderate-to-severe rosacea. “We are very pleased to see these important data published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology,” said Claude Maraoui, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Journey Medical. “This peer-reviewed validation reinforces the differentiated profile of Emrosi as an effective, low-dose oral treatment for rosacea that does not meaningfully disrupt the normal microbiota or contribute to antibiotic resistance. These results, along with the robust safety and efficacy data seen throughout all of our clinical trials, further support Emrosi’s potential for long-term use and underscore our commitment to bringing safe, innovative dermatology treatments to patients.”
