About DIPEXIUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (NASDAQ:DPRX)

Dipexium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a late-stage pharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of Locilex (pexiganan cream 0.8%), a first-in-class, broad spectrum, topical antibiotic. Locilex is focused on the treatment of mild infections of diabetic foot ulcers (Mild DFI). As a topical antibiotic, Locilex affects only the area to which it is applied, and does not spread to the entire body through the bloodstream, which is host to a number of different bacteria other than bacteria causing the skin infection. It is conducting over two Phase III clinical trials of Locilex for the treatment of Mild DFI (DPX-305 and DPX-306) in the United States. The Company has conducted over two separate Phase I skin irritation and skin sensitization studies. Locilex has demonstrated statistical non-inferiority to a systemic antibiotic in a randomized, active-controlled double blind, multi-center clinical study in patients with Mild or Moderate DFI.
