Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the dose-response relationship of two concentrations of A-101 solution when applied to individual seborrheic keratosis (SK) lesions (target lesions) compared with a matching A-101 Solution Vehicle.

Detailed description

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the dose-response relationship of two concentrations of A-101solution when applied to individual seborrheic keratosis (SK) lesions (target lesions) compared with a matching A-101 Solution Vehicle. Each subject will have 4 target lesions on the trunk/extremities. A further objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two concentrations of A-101 solution and its matching vehicle when applied to SK target lesions on the trunk/extremities.

Mean Change From Baseline to Visit 8 in the Physician's Lesion Assessment

Change from baseline PLA will be calculated for each lesion first, then per-subject mean changes from baseline will be calculated. The PLA is a score on a four scale from 0 to 3 with 0 being clear and 3 being the most severe, a lower score indicating a better result. For the mean change in this score, a larger mean change is a better result.
