The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved berdazimer sodium based on evidence from three clinical trials (NI-MC301, NI-MC302, and NI-MC304) of 1,598 participants with molluscum contagiosum.[3] The trials were conducted at 121 sites in the United States.[3] Among the 1,598 enrolled participants, all of them were evaluated for efficacy and 1,596 were evaluated for safety.[3] In all three trials, participants with molluscum contagiosum were randomized to receive berdazimer sodium or vehicle applied to molluscum contagiosum lesions once daily for up to twelve weeks.[3] Efficacy was assessed as the proportion of participants achieving complete clearance at week twelve.[3] Complete clearance was defined as the subject having a total of molluscum contagiosum lesion count of zero at assessment.[3] Trial 1 enrolled 891 participants, trial 2 enrolled 355 participants, and trial 3 enrolled 352 participants.[1] Participants were randomized 1:1 in trial 1, and 2:1 in trials 2 and 3 to receive berdazimer sodium or vehicle applied to molluscum contagiosum lesions once daily for up to twelve weeks.[1]
