A Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Two Concentrations of VBP-926 Solution for the Treatment of Chemotherapy-associated Paronychia in Cancer Patients

Brief Summary
Paronychia is inflammation of the skin surrounding the nail that leads to secondary infection. Iatrogenic paronychia has been clearly associated with cancer chemotherapies. This phase-2 trial is a dose finding study and will evaluate topical VBP-926 solution against a vehicle control.
