"The final study visit for the last subject is expected early in April 2016, with top-line data anticipated approximately four weeks later.

"The completion of this study of Prurisol will mark another important milestone for Cellceutix. I am very eager to see the unblinded data, as we structured this trial to give us a broad view of the activity of Prurisol in humans," commented Edward Walters, Head of Clinical Operations at Cellceutix. "The goal is to show the compound is safe and effective, while pointing us to an optimal dosing regimen for a late-stage trial. For the good of the millions of people suffering from psoriasis, we hope that Prurisol can one day provide a much-needed option to often-used biologics that are known to have side effects and contraindications, while eventually losing effectiveness in many patients."
