EVen better if it works on psoriasis. Acne and psoriasis. Now that's a winning combo.

Dan, For some reason, LGND has pursued oral treatments for psoriasis. The Panretin Phase II trial has been completed and the Phase II Targretin trial is on going. When completed, LGND will decide on which oral approach will be used to move to Phase III for treating psoriasis.

On the topical front, I believe that small trials for basal and squamous cell skin cancers are being targeted for Panretin and/or Targretin gels.
