The takeover of Ameluz® clinical trials in the US is a strategic move that could accelerate product development and market expansion. This direct control allows for more efficient trial management and potentially faster regulatory approvals. The launch of the FDA-approved RhodoLED® XL lamp is another positive development, expanding Biofrontera's product portfolio in photodynamic therapy.
The combination of Ameluz® with RhodoLED® XL creates a synergistic product offering, potentially enhancing treatment efficacy and market penetration in dermatology.
