Provectus is currently conducting Phase 2 clinical trials of their proprietary drugs — PV-10 as a therapy for metastatic melanoma and PH-10 as a topical treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis and for atopic dermatitis. The company has received orphan drug designation from the FDA for PV-10.

Provectus announced that on September 10th 2008 CEO Craig Dees, Ph.D. will present at the Wall Street Analyst Forum 19th Annual Analyst Conference. Mr. Dees will review the results of the Phase 1 clinical trial Provectus has completed in melanoma patients. In this study, individual tumors were injected with PV-10, and in many cases the tumors began dying within 7 days and lifted off the skin within 14 days.

In the Phase 2 trials of this drug, the first 20 of 80 patients has been treated with PV-10. The trial is being conducted by renowned oncology researcher, Professor John F. Thompson, M.D., who is director of the Sydney Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney, Australia.
