About Altrazeal® (Transforming Powder Dressing™)
Altrazeal® is a patented, amorphous dressing comprising primarily of methacrylate-based polymers similar to those used in contact lenses. Upon hydration, its granules aggregate to form a moist, oxygen permeable matrix that conforms to the wound bed. The matrix protects the wound from exogenous bacteria while allowing excess exudate to flow through it via vapor transpiration to create an optimal environment for wound healing. As the wound heals, the Altrazeal® matrix dries and flakes off.
Altrazeal® enables extended wear time of up to 30 days, allowing the wound to heal without disturbing the wound bed with frequent dressing changes. It is particularly effective in the management of complex, painful, and difficult-to-dress wounds where recurrent dressing changes can aggravate pain and increase wound exposure to contamination.

About Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL)
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is a type of cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that comes in a variety of forms and is the most common type of cutaneous lymphoma. In CTCL, T-cells, a type of lymphocyte that plays a role in the immune system, become cancerous and develop into skin lesions, leading to a decrease in the quality of life of patients with this disease due to severe pain and pruritus. Mycosis Fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS) comprise the majority of CTCL cases.
Depending on the type of CTCL, the disease may progress slowly and can take anywhere from several years to upwards of ten to potentially reach tumor stage. However, once the disease reaches this stage, the cancer is highly malignant and can spread to the lymph nodes and internal organs, resulting in a poor prognosis. Given the duration of the disease, patients typically cycle through multiple agents to control disease progression. CTCL affects men twice as often as women and is typically first diagnosed in patients between the ages of 50 and 60 years of age. Other than allogeneic stem cell transplantation, for which only a small fraction of patients qualify there is currently no curative therapy for advanced CTCL.
