study of safety, tolerability and effectiveness of a-101 in subjects with seborrheic keratosis

Conditions: Seborrheic Keratosis (SK)

Summary: evaluate the safety, tolerability of a-101 when applied to seborrheic keratosis lesions on the back of subjects.

the main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of three concentrations of a-101 25%, 32.5%, and 40%, when applied to individual seborrheic keratosis target lesions on the back compared with a matching a-101 vehicle.
