Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive both NEO101 0.95% gel and vehicle-containing placebo gel. Treatment (blinded to treatment assignment) will be administered to paired target surface areas twice daily for 7 days. A 14-day safety and efficacy assessment period will follow the treatment period.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 3187 0
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and local tolerability of twice-daily topical application of NEO101 gel for 7 days in adult subjects treated with curettage and electrodessication for superficial basal cell carcinomas of the trunk and extremities.
Timepoint [1] 3187 0
Safety and local tolerability will be assessed during the 7-day treatment period and through the 14-day follow-up period. Physical examinations will be performed at Screening and on Days 1, 8 and 22.
Secondary outcome [1] 5315 0
1) To make a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of bid topical application of NEO101 in the eradication of wound bioburden by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci, Proteus or Pseudomonas species, and Escherichia coli or Klebsiella species.
Timepoint [1] 5315 0
Cultures will be performed on Days 1, 2, 8 and 15

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria

Minimum age
30 Years
Maximum age
80 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Have concomitant dermatologic or medical condition(s) which may interfere with the investigator's ability to evaluate response to treatment; have immunocompromised status; have a history of malignancy not in remission for at least 5 years excluding basal cell carcinoma; have an active intercurrent infection or poorly controlled medical condition; have used topical antibiotic or antibacterial soap between Screening Visit and Day 1; have used systemic antibiotic within 1 week prior to Day 1; have received systemic corticosteroid treatment within 1 week prior to Day 1; have a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to parabens, sodium sulfite or other ingredient in the vehicle formulation.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Once a subject is identified as eligible to be randomized into the study, he/she will be assigned a unique subject number, which will correspond to the randomization code indicating which site (paired treatment sites A or B) is to be treated with NEO101, while the other site is to be treated with vehicle. Each study clinic location will be supplied with blinded numbered study drug kits and a drug dispensation list. Subjects will be randomized to treatment site using the order established on the drug dispensation list. Blinding of treatment assignment is achieved using vials distinguished by a green-colored label (to be used ONLY for Treatment Site A application) and a blue label (to be used ONLY for Treatment Site B application).
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects will be assigned a unique subject number, which will correspond to the randomization code indicating which site (paired Treatment Site A or B) is to be treated with NEO101, while the other site is to be treated with vehicle. Each study clinic location will be supplied with blinded numbered study drug kits and a drug dispensation list. Subjects will be randomized to treatment site using the order established on the drug dispensation list. The randomization schedule was developed using a blocked randomization scheme, stratified for the two planned study sites.
