SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 50, 90

Efficacy will be evaluated in terms of the number of lesions cured at D50 (D1 is the first day of treatment) with no relapse by Day 90. Complete clinical respoonse is defined as 100% re-epithelialization of the index lesion by Day 50 or a \> 50% re-epithelialization by Day 50 followed by complete re-epithelialization on or before Day 90, with no relapse ever having occurred from Day 50 through Day 90.
