Indero Announces Breakthrough Method for Early-Phase Evaluation of Topical Drugs Using Quantitative Gene Expression13.11.2025 00:00:00 CET | Press release
Indero is proud to announce the successful completion of an internally funded study that introduces a novel approach to evaluating topical new chemical entities (NCE) in early-phase clinical research. This innovative method leverages quantitative gene expression analysis to assess drug efficacy rapidly and cost effectively. Dr. Robert Bissonnette, Executive Chairman and Founder of Indero, who initiated and led the study, shared his excitement about the results: “Our goal was to rethink how to study topical drugs in early phase studies. The results of this study demonstrate that microdosing for only 3 days can provide meaningful efficacy signals. Within just 24 hours, we observed alterations in gene expression after applying a microdose of mid-potency corticosteroid on the skin of patients. By 72 hours, Th2, Th22 and Th17-specific biomarkers were significantly reduced. This outcome is exactly what we hoped for and opens the door to faster, smarter drug development strategies, demonstrat
