Dermata Therapeutics, Inc. announced topline results from its Phase 2 trial of once-weekly topical application of DMT310 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rosacea. DMT310 is Dermata's lead product candidate, with both mechanical and chemical mechanisms of action, with positive Phase 2 data in moderate-to-severe acne and Phase 1b data in mild-to-moderate psoriasis. DMT310 is Dermata's lead product candidate and incorporates the Company's proprietary Spongilla technology to topically treat a variety of dermatological skin diseases and conditions.

DMT310 is a multifactorial natural product candidate derived from Spongilla lacustris, a unique freshwater sponge that is harvested under specific environmental conditions and then processed into a powder. The powder is mixed with a fluidizing agent immediately prior to its once-weekly application. In addition to its mechanical components which create microchannels into the dermis and promote skin turnover, DMT310's organic components contain chemical compounds that when tested in vitro have shown a dose dependent inhibition of inflammatory mediators, which they believe play a role in a variety of skin diseases.
