Palvella Therapeutics Inc. announced plans to advance QTORIN™ pitavastatin into Phase 2 trials for disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) in the second half of 2026. This follows a systematic review published in Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, which highlights treatment gaps due to the absence of FDA-approved therapies for porokeratosis. The review synthesizes evidence from 24 studies but does not present new clinical results. Future trials are planned to further investigate this treatment.
