[0002] Non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are the most common forms of skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a form of skin cancer that develops due to the uncontrolled proliferation or growth of squamous epithelial cells. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a form of skin cancer that develops when there is uncontrolled proliferation or growth of basal skin cells. BCC is estimated to affect 3.6 million people in the United States each year. BCC develops as a result of mutations in the epidermis, often from UV exposure. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0063] overview In various embodiments, provided herein are compositions comprising Compound 1 or a salt thereof (as a compound capable of inhibiting Akt or inhibiting other kinases) and methods of using these compositions to treat or prevent skin diseases, conditions, or disorders. The compositions may be administered topically, orally, systemically, intralesionally, intradermally, or subcutaneously to treat or prevent skin diseases, conditions, or disorders. Skin diseases, conditions, or disorders include any one of carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, benign tumors, malignant tumors, melanoma, parasites, skin viruses, immune diseases or disorders, and bacterial, fungal, or microbial infections. In particular, topical compositions are useful for treating or preventing basal cell carcinoma. Specifically, mutations in Akt1 or mutations affecting the regulation of Akt have been shown to be involved in tumor growth in BCC and SCC. Melanoma is one of the most deadly forms of skin cancer, caused by uncontrolled proliferation or growth of melanocytes. Multiple pathways, including dysregulation of the Akt pathway, are involved in melanoma growth. Therefore, compositions that inhibit these mutations may result in the prevention or treatment of BCC, SCC, and / or melanoma.

[0386] Example 1: Preparation of the composition Exemplary topical compositions of the present disclosure can be prepared according to the procedures provided below, where the compositions are for use in treating or preventing BCC. Reaction conditions, steps, and reactants not provided in the procedures below will be apparent and known to those skilled in the art.
[0387] Excipients (i.e., C 2-6 Alcohol, organic solvent and / or penetration enhancer, antioxidant, preservative, and / or water) were dispensed or weighed into individual containers to form a mixture.
[0388] [ka] Compound 1, represented by the formula: was added to the mixture to achieve the desired concentration. A gelling agent (e.g., HPC) was then added accordingly. In some compositions using a pH adjuster (e.g., citric acid), the pH of the formed mixture was adjusted to the desired apparent pH (e.g., about 5.5-6.5) with an aqueous citric acid solution (e.g., a 0.1 M, 0.5 M, or 1 M solution). In some compositions, a second addition of water (if present) was finally used to titrate the composition to 100% by weight. The final mixture was then thoroughly mixed to form the composition.
[0389] Example 2: Various compositions with / without Compound 1 The following compositions for use in the treatment or prevention of BCC were prepared according to the general procedure using the excipients in Tables 1 to 7.
[0390] [Table 3]
[0391] [Table 4]
[0392] [Table 5]
[0393] [Table 6]
[0394] [Table 7]
[0395] [Table 8]
[0396] [Table 9]
[0397] Example 3: 14-day skin tolerance study in Göttingen minipigs overview The objective of this study was to determine the topical dermal tolerability of four (4) compositions of Compound 1, and their respective placebos (Sepineo in Table 2, Anhydrous Sepineo in Table 3, High Transcutol Gel in Table 4, or Low Transcutol Gel in Table 5) for use in the treatment or prevention of BCC, after 14 days of cutaneous administration once daily or every other day to Göttingen minipigs.
[0398] material and method The test article and placebo (Sepineo in Table 2, Anhydrous Sepineo in Table 3, High Transcutol Gel in Table 4, or Low Transcutol Gel in Table 5) were administered via dermal application to the left side of each animal once daily for 14 days during the study. Starting on day 2 (days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14), the test article and placebo were administered via dermal application to the right side of each animal once every other day. Compound 1 dose concentrations were 0.01% and 0.1% (first animal / sex) or 0.1% and 1% (second animal / sex) and administered in a dose volume of 0.5 mL / site. The day before the first dose administration, hair was clipped from the back of the animals. Repeated clippings were performed as necessary. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin. Each exposure site was marked at the corner with an indelible marker. The test article and placebo were distributed to individual sites (6 / side), each 1.4 x 1.4 inches, on the dorsal surface by gentle injunction with a glass stirring rod or suitable instrument (e.g., a stainless steel spatula). The test article and placebo were applied evenly to the test sites with a thin, uniform film of the appropriate dosing material. The sites were not occluded.
[0399] Sites were observed for gross signs of irritation (i.e., erythema and edema, lesions) and other signs of local or systemic effects and ranked on a scale of 0 to 5, with 0 corresponding to "no effect." Clinical observations unrelated to application site observations were recorded as unscheduled observations, as needed.
[0400] On Day 14, after dosing (2-4 hours post-dose), all animals were euthanized for skin biopsy sample collection. Prior to collection, the dosing site was gently cleaned with a 10% soap solution (e.g., Dawn dish soap) followed by rinsing with lukewarm water using Wypall® or equivalent. A low-pressure stream of lukewarm tap water was used with a hose to facilitate rinsing, followed by tape stripping to remove residual composition and punch biopsy. Full-thickness samples were collected from each dosing site (including placebo sites) and a single naive site per animal via a 5 mm circular or oval punch biopsy device or by incision with a surgical blade.
[0401] Results, interpretation, and conclusions All compositions and placebo were generally well tolerated after 14 days of cutaneous application once daily or once every other day. All test substances and placebo were generally well tolerated. Signs of irritation were observed only in male 1002. Following daily administration, very slight erythema was present at Site 3 on Days 12-14 (Ex. 2D-1% in Table 4) and at Site 6 on Days 4 and 7-14 (Ex. 2E-1% in Table 5). Edema was not present in any animal at any time point.
[0402] Figures 1A-1D show the local skin tolerability of four compositions containing Compound 1 and their respective placebos after cutaneous administration once daily or once every other day to Göttingen minipigs for 14 days, as measured by erythema and edema scores. The four (4) compositions correspond to the compositions in Tables 2-5, as follows:
[0403] [Table 10]
[0404] Example 4: Further optimization of compositions containing high Transcutol The compositions of Table 4, containing approximately 47-48% Transcutol P (2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol), were further tested with the addition of antioxidants (e.g., butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and / or butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), or propyl gallate), preservatives (e.g., phenoxyethanol), and / or pH adjusters (e.g., aqueous citric acid). The compositions are therefore shown in Tables 8 and 9.

[0409] Example 5: Induction of apoptosis in seborrheic keratosis overview Using a non-clinical ex-vivo human SK explant model, a composition containing 1% Compound 1 was tested to induce apoptosis in SK specimens. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of topically applied compounds to suppress cell viability in SK. The use of human explants allowed the assay of compositions and the effect of pharmaceutical agents on local penetration to be evaluated in an environment that closely mimicked the clinical setting. Shaved biopsies of SK were taken from patients undergoing SK resection for clinical purposes. 3-4 mm 2 Biopsy specimens measuring 100 μg were embedded in culture medium and agar for the experiment. The protruding sample surface was treated with 2.5 microliters (ml) of a composition containing 1% Compound 1 (e.g., Ex. 4-6a or Ex. 5-1%), vehicle alone, or left untreated. The explants were then incubated for 72 hours (hr) and fixed for staining and histological evaluation. The 72-hr time frame was used as the efficacy endpoint, and at the end of the experiment, relative apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL staining. The resulting images were qualitatively evaluated by visual inspection and showed more observable apoptosis in explants treated with Compound 1 compared with those treated with vehicle or left untreated. This non-clinical explant study was designed to build confidence in the use of 1% Compound 1 for the treatment of SKs, and indeed, when applied to SK explants, it induced an observable increase in apoptosis.
[0410] material and method Materials required for tissue culture included RPMI 1640 (Thermo Fisher, 11875093), human serum (GeminiBio #100-110), amphotericin B (Thermo Fisher, Cat. No. 15290018), and penicillin-streptomycin (5,000 U / mL, Thermo Fisher, Cat. No. 15140-122), agarose (Sigma, CAS 9012-36-6) DMSO Sigma Aldrich (#D8418), Transwell Permeable Supports, and 12-well plates (Corning 12 mm Transwell®, 3.0 μm PorePolycarbonate Membrane Insert, Sterile Cat. #3402).
[0411] Compositions containing Compound 1 and the corresponding vehicle were used in the study, as shown in Table 10.
[0412] [Table 13]
[0413] Ex vivo studies were performed to determine whether Compound 1 in compositions containing high levels of Transcutol (e.g., Ex. 4-6a or Ex. 5-1% in Example 4) could penetrate human skin lesions and result in increased apoptosis as measured by the TUNEL assay. Human seborrheic keratosis biopsies were collected and immediately prepared for drug treatment as described in the experimental model section.
[0414] A total of five seborrheic keratoses were collected from patients who provided informed consent under an IRB-approved protocol. Each collected SK was divided into pieces for use in different treatment groups. Two separate experiments were performed at different time points. In the first experiment, two keratoses were collected and each divided into two pieces. A section of each sample was treated with 1% Compound 1, and another section was treated with vehicle. The treatment groups were 1) 1% Compound 1 (N=2), and 2) vehicle (N=2).
[0415] In the second study, three seborrheic keratoses were collected and divided into three sections, each of which was treated with 1% Compound 1, vehicle only, or left untreated. Treatment groups were 1) 1% Compound 1 (N=3), 2) vehicle (N=3), and 3) untreated (N=3). In both experiments, either 1% Compound 1 (Ex. 5-1%) or vehicle in the composition reduced the area by approximately 3.5 mm. 2 The drug was applied topically to partially immersed tissue samples. Specifically, 2.5 microliters (μl) of the Ex.5-1% composition (containing 1% Compound 1) was added to the sample, as described above, or 2.5 μl of vehicle was added to the sample as a control. In a second experiment, three additional SKs were left untreated for comparison. The drug or vehicle was added topically to each sample by pipetting onto the exposed surface area immediately after plating. After 72 hours of incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2, the samples were fixed in 10% formalin for 24 hours and then transferred to 70% ethanol for TUNEL staining.
[0416] Results, interpretation, and conclusions All seborrheic keratoses (n=5) treated with the Ex. 5-1% (containing 1% Compound 1) composition showed a relative increase in apoptosis as measured by TUNEL staining compared to vehicle (n=5) and untreated samples (n=3). One vehicle-treated sample also showed increased apoptosis compared to untreated, while the remaining four vehicle-treated samples had similar apoptosis levels compared to untreated controls. Figure 2 shows the explant TUNEL assay images.
[0417] It can be concluded that a single ex-vivo topical application of the composition (e.g., Ex. 5-1%) can result in increased keratinocyte apoptosis in seborrheic keratosis 72 hours after application.
[0418] Example 6: Short-term stability of the composition of Example 4 The compositions in Tables 8 and 9 for use in the treatment or prevention of BCC were subjected to short-term physicochemical stability testing after storage for up to 8 weeks at 25° C. and 40° C. Parameters evaluated were compound (i.e., Compound 1) content and purity, apparent pH, macroscopic observations, and microscopic observations.
[0419] Compound content and purity The content and purity of Compound 1 in the compositions after storage for up to 8 weeks are detailed in Table 11 and Table 12, respectively (Note: only Ex.4-1a and Ex.4-6a were further extended to t=8 weeks).
[0420] Percentage recovery (%) compares the response of the drug peak to a standard of known concentration, while peak purity (% area) compares the area of the drug peak to the sum of the areas of all peaks in the chromatogram. The change in % purity of Compound 1 in the compositions from t=0 to 8 weeks after the stability study is detailed in Table 13.
[0421] [Table 14-1]
[0422] [Table 14-2]
[0423] [Table 15-1]
[0424] [Table 15-2]
[0425] [Table 16-1]
[0426] [Table 16-2]
[0427] The content of Compound 1 in all seven aqueous gels was within the range of 95-105% at t = 0 to 2 weeks. However, after 4 weeks of storage, there was a maximum 5% decrease in drug recovery in Ex. 4-4a (94.25% at t = 4 weeks, 2-8°C) and Ex. 4-6a (95.91% at t = 4 weeks, 40°C). At t = 0, the purity of Compound 1 in all seven aqueous gels was greater than 97 area%. After 4 weeks of storage, the drug purity of the compositions decreased by approximately 0.36-2.64 area% at 25°C and approximately 0.88-4.13 area% at 40°C. The decrease in drug purity was lower in compositions stored at 2-8°C (0.18-0.38 area%). The relative purity of Compound 1 in all seven aqueous gels remained greater than 95% for up to 4 weeks at both 25°C and 40°C. Ex. 4-4a (without preservatives, antioxidants, and pH adjusters) and Ex. 4-6a (based on Ex. 4-4a with BHT) were stable for up to 8 weeks at both 25° C. (less than 1 area % loss in purity) and 40° C. (less than 1.5 area % loss in purity). The addition of antioxidants and preservatives (without adjusting the pH) appeared to further stabilize the compositions (see Ex. 4-6a).
[0428] Apparent pH The apparent pH at t=0 and 4 weeks (2-8° C., 25° C., and 40° C.) for compositions with and without Compound 1 are shown in Table 14.
[0429] [Table 17]
[0430] At t=0, the apparent pH of the compositions containing the pH adjuster ranged from 5.94 to 7.67, with no significant differences (±>1 pH unit) in pH between the placebo and the corresponding active compositions. After 4 weeks of storage, pH values ranged from 5.52 to 6.86 (2-8°C), 5.54 to 8.06 (25°C), and 5.48 to 7.67 (40°C), which were consistent with the pH values at t=0. The pH of the gel compositions that were not adjusted for pH remained at about pH 9: Ex. 4-1a (active) (9.13 at t = 0, 9.21 at t = 4 weeks, 2-8°C, 9.15 at t = 4 weeks, 25°C, and 9.11 at t = 4 weeks, 40°C) and Ex. 4-6a (active) (9.42 at t = 0, 8.94 at t = 4 weeks, 2-8°C, 8.82 at t = 4 weeks, 25°C, and 8.79 at t = 4 weeks, 40°C).
[0431] Macroscopic Observation Macroscopic appearance and macroscopic images against light and dark backgrounds were evaluated for all seven compositions, including Compound 1 and the corresponding vehicle.
[0432] At t=0, all compositions (both active and vehicle) were clear, with medium viscosity and smooth application. The placebo compositions appeared colorless, while the active compositions had a light beige coloration. There were no obvious changes in the compositions when stored at 2-8°C, 25°C, and 40°C for t=4 weeks, except for a slight discoloration observed in Ex. 4-4b (vehicle) at t=4 weeks (40°C), indicating the presence of propyl gallate in the compositions.
[0433] microscopic observation Microscopic appearance and microscopic images (unpolarized and polarized) were evaluated for all seven compositions, including Compound 1 and the corresponding vehicle.
[0434] There was no evidence of drug particulates in all compositions (both active and vehicle) throughout the experimental period (t = 0-4 weeks, 2-8°C, 25°C, and 40°C). Most of the compositions tested were free of excipient particulates, but excipient particulates were observed in three placebo compositions (Ex. 4-4b, Ex. 4-7b, and Ex. 4-8b) and Ex. 4-8a (active) at t = 0 and 2 weeks. At t = 4 weeks, excipient particulates were observed in Ex. 4-1a (active) (40°C), Ex. 4-1b (vehicle) (25°C), Ex. 4-2a (active), and Ex. 4-2b (vehicle) (2-8°C), Ex. 4-4a (active) (40°C), and Ex. 4-7a (active) (t = 2 and 4 weeks, 25 and 40°C). It should be noted that the microparticle morphology was not consistent across time points, potentially indicating non-hydrating gelling agent (HPC), and that the gelling agent required a longer hydration time, which will be further optimized during process development.
[0435] Compositions Ex.4-6a (active) and Ex.4-6b (vehicle) were observed to be free of particulates of both drug and excipients over the experimental period (t = 0 to 4 weeks, 2 to 8°C, 25°C, and 40°C).
[0436] viscosity The viscosities of Ex. 4-4a (1.00 wt / wt% Compound 1) (as Ex. 6-4a - 1%), the same composition (0.10 wt / wt% Compound 1) (as Ex. 6-4a - 0.1%), and Ex. 4-4b (vehicle) (as Ex. 6-4b) were monitored for three months, as shown in Table 15.
[0437] [Table 18]
[0438] Example 7: Human demonstration of topical application for the treatment of seborrheic keratosis overview Promising in vitro and explant studies prompted further investigation of the benefits of Composition Ex.5-Compound 1 in human clinical trials for the treatment of SK. This study is a first-in-human, open-label, adaptive design study to explore the safety and efficacy of Composition Ex.5-Compound 1 at concentrations of 1.0% or 0.1% using a vehicle topical gel in patients with seborrheic keratosis (SK).
[0439] method The study enrolled up to 35 subjects, each with four SK target lesions (SKTS), across six cohorts with different treatment regimens. Subjects participated for approximately 12 to 16 weeks.
[0440] All three completed cohorts had truncal SK treated with Composition Ex 5 - Compound 1: Cohort 1 was treated with 1.0% twice daily (BID) for 14 days, Cohort 2 was treated with 1.0% BID for 28 days, and Cohort 3 was treated with 1.0% pulse BID, 4 days on / 4 days off, for 28 days. All subjects were followed for a minimum of 4 weeks after their last dose, at which point all four SKTL lesions were scored using the PLA scale. The primary and secondary analyses included 43 lesions. As defined by the protocol, 17 lesions were excluded, 3 lesions were biopsied as non-responsive SK without 4 weeks of follow-up after treatment, and 14 lesions were histologically confirmed as not SK (6 nevi, 4 verrucous keratoses, and 4 lentigos).
[0441] The primary and secondary efficacy endpoints were based on PLA scoring, which had a 4-point scale, with 3 indicating SK greater than 1 mm thick, 2 indicating SK less than 1 mm thick, 1 indicating mostly clear but residual surface changes suggestive of SK, and 0 indicating no visible surface changes remaining.
[0442] Results, interpretation, and conclusions Across all three combined cohorts, 81% of lesions had at least a 1-point improvement in Physician Lesion Assessment (PLA) scores, with 74% of SK lesions clear (PLA0) or almost clear (PLA1), and 44% completely clear (PLA0). This study demonstrated early dose-response efficacy, with the highest SKTL improvement rates in cohorts 2 and 3, the 28-day treatment regimen. For both cohorts, the SKTL improvement rate with at least one PLA improvement was 100%, the clear or almost clear improvement rate was 79% and 100%, respectively, and the completely clear improvement rate was 57% and 46%, respectively. The treatment was well tolerated, with no serious adverse events or adverse events, and only mild (16.7%) or moderate (3.3%) irritation in a small proportion of lesions.

[0462] Figures 3A-5C provide time-to-event KM plots, as described in the figure briefs. Figure 6 shows representative photographs illustrating the response of Composition Ex.5-Compound 1 to SK in Cohort 1 (14 days, twice daily administration) and background lentigo in Cohort 2 (28 days, twice daily administration), respectively. Table 22. There were no SAEs or AEs in the first three cohorts of the study. Pain, pruritus, erythema, edema, and scabbing were rated as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3).
[0463] [Table 38]
[0464] These data demonstrate that Composition Ex.5 - Compound 1 is an effective, selective, and safe treatment for SK, improving upon current treatment methods.
[0465] Example 8: Human demonstration of topical application for the treatment of facial and obliterative seborrheic keratoses overview Promising in vitro and explant studies prompted further investigation of the benefits of Composition Ex.5-Compound 1 in human clinical trials for the treatment of SK. This study is a first-in-human, open-label, adaptive design study to explore the safety and efficacy of Composition Ex.5-Compound 1 at 1.0% or 0.1% concentrations using a vehicle topical gel in patients with seborrheic keratosis (SK). Cohorts will have a two-week treatment period with twice-daily applications, followed by a four-week follow-up period. Based on results from the initial cohort and subsequent cohorts at any time point, additional cohorts will explore different dosing regimens.
[0466] method This study will enroll up to 35 subjects across seven cohorts with different treatment regimens, each with four SK target lesions (SKTLs). Subject participation lasted approximately 12 to 16 weeks. Cohorts 4, 5, 6, and 7 were enrolled or planned to be enrolled in Part 2 of this adaptive design study (results from Cohorts 1, 2, and 3 are described in Example 7). All cohorts had SKs treated with Composition Ex.5 - Compound 1.
[0467] Each subject in Cohort 4 (n=5 subjects) will receive Composition Ex. 5-1.0% Compound 1 applied twice daily (BID) to four facial seborrheic keratosis lesions (SKTLs). Composition Ex. 5-1.0% Compound will be applied twice daily to the facial SKTLs for 28 days.
[0468] Each subject in Cohort 5 (n=5 subjects) will receive Composition Ex.5-1.0% Compound 1 QD (once daily) / TIW (three times weekly) under Tegaderm occlusion on four seborrheic keratosis lesions (SKTLs) on the trunk and extremities. Composition Ex.5-1.0% Compound 1 will be applied once daily, three times weekly, and maintained under occlusion.
[0469] Each subject in Cohort 6 (n=5 subjects) will receive a 28-day application of Composition Ex.5-1.0% Mixture 1 to four seborrheic keratosis target lesions (SKTLs) on the trunk (including intertriginous areas) or extremities. Composition Ex.5-1.0% Compound 1 will be applied twice daily for 28 days.
[0470] Each subject in Cohort 7 (n=5 subjects) will have four seborrheic keratosis lesions (SKTLs) on their face treated with Composition Ex.5-0.1% Compound 1 applied twice daily for 28 days.
[0471] All subjects were followed for a minimum of 4 weeks after the last dose. All four SKTL lesions were scored using the PLA scale at each visit.
[0472] The primary and secondary efficacy endpoints were based on PLA scoring, with a 4-point scale, where 3 indicated SK greater than 1 mm thick, 2 indicated SK less than 1 mm thick, 1 indicated near-absence but residual surface changes suggestive of SK, and 0 indicated no visible surface changes remaining.
[0473] In particular, the primary outcome measures are: 1. Percentage of treated SKs with at least one grade improvement in PLA score, change from treatment period status to 4-week safety follow-up [time frame: 4 weeks after last dose]
[0474] Secondary primary outcome measures included: 2. Percentage of treated SKs with a Physician's Lesion Assessment (PLA) of 0 or 1, change from the start of the treatment period to the 4-week safety follow-up [time frame: 4 weeks after last dose] 3. Percentage of treated SKs with a PLA of 0, change from the start of the treatment period to the 4-week safety follow-up [time frame: 4 weeks after last dose] 4. Percentage of treated SKs with a PLA of 0 or 1, change from the start of the treatment period to week 12 [Time frame: week 12] 5. Percentage of treated SKs with a PLA of 0, change from the start of the treatment period to week 12 [Time frame: week 12] 6. Percentage of treated SKs with subject self-assessment (SSA) of 0 or 1, change from start of treatment period to 4-week safety follow-up [time frame: 4 weeks after last dose] 7. Percentage of treated SKs with an SSA of 0, change from the start of the treatment period to the 4-week safety follow-up [time frame: 4 weeks after last dose] 8. Percentage of treated SKs with SSA 0 or 1, change from start of treatment period to week 12 [Time frame: week 12] 9. Percentage of treated SKs with SSA 0, change from start of treatment period to week 12 [Time frame: week 12] 10. Time to treated SK achieving PLA 0 or 1, duration from baseline / day 1 (PLA 3 or 2) to PLA 0 or 1 [Time Frame: End of Study. In this adaptive design study, end of study will be 4-10 weeks after completion of the treatment period.] 11. Time to treated SK achieving PLA0, duration from baseline / Day 1 (PLA3 or 2) to PLA0 [Time Frame: End of Study. In this adaptive design study, end of study will be 4-10 weeks after completion of the treatment period.]

[0478] result The clinical trial is currently ongoing, and the results reported here are interim: Cohort 7 is fully enrolled, with participants completing visits up to Day 28; Cohort 4 is fully enrolled, with participants completing visits up to Day 14, with some participants completing visits up to Day 21; Cohort 5 has enrolled four of five potential participants, with participants completing the screening visit, with some participants completing visits up to Day 7; and Cohort 6 has not yet enrolled.
[0479] The columns in Tables 24-29 entitled "Missing" indicate whether there are any lesions for any participant or enrolled participant who has not yet completed the visit and has not been assessed on the specified date. The percentage of all predicted lesions or individuals that have not yet been scored is also shown.
[0480] Treatment was well tolerated, and analysis of all SK lesions across all treatments showed only mild local tolerance reactions, if any, and no moderate or severe reactions. The highest number of mild tolerance reactions by lesion was 8, or 15.4%, of lesions on Day 7 (Table 24); all other lesions were unresponsive. Local tolerance was also assessed at the patient level, with each patient having multiple lesions treated. The majority of patients in all treatment groups had no local tolerance reactions, and the highest number of mild tolerance reactions was on Day 7, when 3 patients, or 27.3% of patients, had mild tolerance reactions. There were no moderate or severe reactions (Table 25).
[0481] In Cohorts 4 (1% face) and 7 (0.1% face), the majority of patients (approximately 70%) showed at least a 1-point decrease in PLA score at 28 or 21 days after treatment, respectively (Figure 7, Table 27, and Table 29). In Cohort 5 (1% TIW), at least one of three patients who completed the day 7 screening showed a 1-point decrease in PLA score (Table 28).

[0488] Example 9: Composition Ex.5 - Stability of Mixture 1 at 0.1% and 1.0% The content and purity of Compound 1 in compositions Ex.5-0.1% and Ex.5-1.0% for use in the treatment or prevention of BCC after up to 6 months of storage are detailed in Table 30.
[0489] Percent recovery was determined by comparing the response of the drug peak to a standard of known concentration in the chromatogram using standard HPLC methods. Percent change in Compound 1 content in the compositions after stability testing for up to 6 months was measured starting at t=0. Three technical replicates were performed at each stability time point for each storage condition and each Compound 1 content. The Compound 1 content in compositions Ex. 5-0.1% and 1.0% did not deviate from the expected range over time. The acceptable range for Compound 1 content was 90.0% to 110.0%.
[0490] Apparent pH The apparent pH of Composition Ex.5-0.1% Compound 1 and Composition Ex.5-1.0% Compound after storage at 25° C. and 40° C. for up to 6 months is shown in Table 24. The apparent pH was measured using standard equipment and methods in the field.
[0491] The apparent pH remained consistent for 0-6 months at 25°C and 40°C for Ex. 5-0.1% Compound 1 and Ex. 5-1.0% Compound 1. The pH of Ex. 5-1.0% Compound 1 ranged from 8.49 to 8.62 at both temperatures. The pH of Ex. 5-0.1% Compound 1 ranged from 7.78 to 8.18 at both temperatures.
[0492] Macroscopic Observation After storage at 25°C and 40°C for up to 6 months, the macroscopic appearance and macroscopic images against light and dark backgrounds were evaluated for compositions Ex.5-0.1% Compound 1 and Ex.5-1.0% Compound 1 (Table 30).
[0493] At t=0, all compositions were yellow or slightly yellow, slightly hazy, had medium viscosity, and were smooth to the touch. Color, viscosity, and texture remained consistent over time and temperature. The color in Composition Ex.5-1.0% Compound 1 was scored as more intense than that in Composition Ex.5-0.1% Compound 1.
[0494] microscopic observation Microscopic appearance and microscopic images (unpolarized and polarized) were evaluated using standard microscopic methods for all compositions at the specified time points and storage temperatures.
[0495] There was no evidence of drug particles or crystals in any of the compositions (Table 30).
[0496] viscosity After storage at 25°C and 40°C for up to 6 months, the viscosities of compositions Ex.5-0.1% Compound 1 and Ex.5-0.1% Compound were evaluated (Table 24). Viscosity was measured using standard methods. The viscosities of Ex.5-1.0% Compound ranged from 22,440 cp to 29,600 cp. The viscosities of composition Ex.5-0.1% Compound 1 ranged from 12,800 cp to 28,400 cp.

[0502] Example 10: Human demonstration of topical application for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma overview Further investigation was conducted into the benefits of Composition Ex.5 - Compound 1-1% in humans for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma. Composition Example Ex.5 Compound 1-1%, containing 1.0% API in a vehicle topical gel, was found to improve basal cell carcinoma.
[0503] method Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was treated with Composition Ex.5-Compound 1-1.0%, containing a 1.0% API concentration in a vehicle gel. Lesions were treated twice daily (BID) for 28 days and confirmed as BCC by histological analysis. Lesions were followed for 6 weeks after the last dose and scored at each visit using a 4-point Physician's Lesion Assessment (PLA) scale, with 3 indicating greater than 1 mm in thickness, 2 indicating less than 1 mm in thickness, 1 indicating almost clear but with residual surface changes, and 0 indicating no visible surface changes remaining. Safety and tolerability were assessed by evaluation of signs and symptoms of local tolerance as Local Tolerability Reactions (LTR). Signs and symptoms assessed included pain, pruritus, erythema, edema, and crusting, using a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe). LTR was scored for all lesions and adverse events were assessed for all subjects. BCCs were located on the face of the subjects.
[0504] Results, interpretation, and conclusions BCC lesions visibly decreased in size and thickness from days 21 to 42 (2 weeks after the last dose of treatment). From days 56 to 96, the lesions appeared to grow back to a percentage of their original size (Figure 8). PLA scores of BCC lesions confirmed the results. At baseline, the PLA score was 2, at day 7, the PLA score was 2, at day 14, the PLA score was 2, at day 21, the PLA score was 2, at day 26, the PLA score was 1, at day 35, the PLA score was 0, at day 42, the PLA score was 0, at day 56, the PLA score was 1, at day 70, the PLA score was 2, at day 84, the PLA score was 2, and at day 98, the PLA score was 2 (Table 31).
[0505] There were no adverse events related to BCC treatment, and only mild local tolerability reactions were experienced. Mild pruritus, erythema, and crusting were noted at visit 14, mild pain, pruritus, erythema, and crusting were noted at visit 21, and mild crusting was noted at visit 28. No other LTRs were noted, and edema was never experienced.
[0506] BCCs responded clearly to treatment as measured by visual inspection and PLA scores. Only mild LTR occurred during treatment of BCCs, and no serious adverse events occurred.

[0508] Example 11: Human topical application for the treatment of seborrheic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous intraepithelial carcinoma overview Further investigations were conducted into the usefulness of composition example Ex.5-Compound 1-1.0% in humans for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma and squamous intraepithelial carcinoma.
[0509] method An open-label trial was conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of a gel containing 1.0% API in subjects with seborrheic keratosis (SK) and non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous carcinoma in situ (SCCIS)). Subjects were enrolled in one of five cohorts: Cohort 1: 1.0% API gel, BID for 28 days for superficial BCC Cohort 2: 1.0% API gel, BID for 28 days for nodular BCC Cohort 3: 1.0% API gel, BID for 28 days for invasive BCC Cohort 4: 1.0% API gel, SCCIS, BID for 28 days Cohort 5: 1.0% API gel, SK, BID for 28 days
[0510] Each cohort enrolled 5-10 subjects, with at least one eligible lesion treated. A maximum of five lesions per subject was enrolled. Although multiple or different tumor types were enrolled in each cohort, subjects were analyzed primarily for their assigned cohort tumor subtype, with secondary analyses for any alternative tumor subtypes.
[0511] Eligible subjects must have at least one and up to five qualifying lesions at screening that were histologically confirmed as seborrheic keratosis or non-melanoma skin cancer, ranging in size from 1.0 to 2.0 cm in maximum diameter. All potentially eligible lesions screened underwent biopsy (either a 2.0 mm punch or shave biopsy) at screening, removing no more than 25% of the tumor for histological confirmation and eligibility, as well as biomarker evaluation. All lesions were previously untreated primary lesions, meaning they were not recurrent lesions. All SK lesions had a PLA of 2.
[0512] All NMSC-only subjects and subjects with SK and NMSC were followed 7–14 days after excision of the NMSC until post-surgical suture removal, requiring a total of up to approximately 12 weeks of study participation (4 weeks of screening, 4 weeks of treatment, 2 weeks of follow-up due to excision, and up to 2 weeks for post-surgical follow-up and suture removal).
[0513] All subjects with seborrheic keratosis only completed the study at the 2-week follow-up visit after shave excision, requiring a total of approximately 10 weeks of study participation (4 weeks of screening, 4 weeks of treatment, and 2 weeks of follow-up with tangential shave excision).
[0514] Application site reactions (ASR) were assessed through assessment of the severity of signs and symptoms of pain, burning, stinging, pruritus, erythema, edema, exudation, erosion / ulceration, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation at each TL treatment site since the last visit, as well as review of adverse events (AEs).
[0515] Study endpoints All subjects dispensed with study IP (API gel 1.0%) and who received at least one (1) confirmatory dose of study IP will be included in the safety analysis. All consented subjects will be included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis.
[0516] The Per Protocol (PP) population was used for the primary efficacy analysis and was defined by subjects who completed the final 6-week visit assessment. Efficacy assessments were summarized descriptively by treatment group and visit. Primary efficacy endpoint: Percentage of lesions achieving a 50% reduction in maximal diameter of cohort-assigned TL(s) at week 6 compared to baseline. Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: a. Percentage of lesions achieving a 50% reduction in maximum diameter of all TL(s) at week 6 compared to baseline. b.

The association between histological healing and biomarkers such as AKT pathway activity or mutational profiling was evaluated. c. Comparison of the reduction in maximum tumor diameter at 4 weeks with the frequency and severity of ASR e. Comparison of histological healing at 4 weeks with the frequency and severity of ASR
[0517] Primary Safety Endpoint: Safety and tolerability were assessed through assessment of application site reactions (ASR): pain, burning, stinging, pruritus, erythema, edema, exudation, erosion / ulcer, signs of pigmentation, hypopigmentation, and severity of symptoms, as well as review of adverse events. Example 12: Profiling of target kinases in response to compounds for the prevention and / or treatment of skin cancer
[0518] Studies to validate the compounds described herein for inhibition of target kinases were carried out as described below.
[0519] Compounds were tested against 397 kinases using the KinSight™ Quantitative Kinome Profile screen from AssayQuant Technologies, Inc., Marlboro, MA. Briefly, the AKT1 IC50s of compound 1 and GSK690693 were determined. Compound concentrations in each kinase inhibition assay were ten times the IC50 determination, along with 1 mM ATP and the appropriate proprietary PhosphoSens® substrate in a continuous kinase inhibition assay. The Sox-based substrate allows direct quantification of the kinase's enzymatic activity and detects substrate phosphorylation throughout the reaction. The continuous assay format resulted in reaction rates for each kinase determined from dozens of data points, and progress curves were generated for each reaction well. Percent inhibition and significant observations were calculated for each compound-kinase pair, providing insight into the compound's mechanism of action and potency.
[0520] The inhibition rates of target kinases when Compound 1 was administered are shown in Table 32.
