Numerous clinical trials evaluate the therapeutic application of tirbanibulin (KX2-391) across Phase 1 through Phase 4 investigations, primarily targeting actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and cutaneous warts. Sponsored by both pharmaceutical entities and academic institutions, these studies range in recruitment status from not yet recruiting to active and completed protocols. Together, they reflect the ongoing global assessment of the drug's topical safety and efficacy across diverse dermatological indications.
