Mohs Surgery

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of EB-001 in improving wound healing and reducing scar formation in patients undergoing Mohs surgery for skin lesions in the forehead area following a single treatment of EB-001 when injected into the muscles underlying the incision area.

Detailed description

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of EB-001 in improving wound healing and reducing scar formation in patients undergoing Mohs surgery for skin lesions in the forehead area following a single treatment of EB-001 when injected into the muscles underlying the incision area. The safety objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of single treatment of EB-001 when injected into facial muscles underlying a surgical wound during Mohs surgery. The efficacy objective is to evaluate the efficacy of a single treatment of EB-001 when injected into the facial muscles (frontalis) underlying the surgical wound in improving wound healing, and reducing scar formation.

Inclusion criteria

1. Between 18 and 75 years of age, inclusive 2. Subject in good health, or with stable treated medical condition, as determined by the investigator. 3. Scheduled to undergo Mohs surgery to remove a single skin lesion in the forehead. This could be 1. Basal Cell Carcinoma 2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (non-metastatic) 3. Other suitable lesions according to the investigator opinion 4. Lesion closure size at least 2 cm in length 5. Women of non-childbearing potential must be postmenopausal (at least 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea) 6.

Willing and able to complete and comply with procedures, protocol requirements and instructions, which includes completion of all required visits 9. Willing and able to sign and date IRB-approved informed consent 10. Able to speak, read, and understand the language of the informed consent form (ICF) and study questionnaires
