Abstract

Tirbanibulin (Klisyri^®) is a first-in-class Src kinase signaling inhibitor and tubulin polymerisation inhibitor being developed by Athenex in conjunction with global partners for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis, and psoriasis. Based on the data from two pivotal phase III trials the drug was recently approved for marketing in the US as a topical treatment for actinic keratosis. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of tirbanibulin leading to this first approval.
