Management to Host Conference Call at 8:00 AM ET today

Wayne, PA – March 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –

Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACRS), a dermatologist-led biopharmaceutical company committed to identifying, developing, and commercializing innovative therapies to address significant unmet needs in aesthetic and medical dermatology, and immunology, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 and provided an update on its clinical development and commercial programs.

“2017 was a defining year in Aclaris’ history, with the FDA approval of ESKATA™ (hydrogen peroxide) Topical Solution, 40% (w/w), the first and only FDA-approved topical, non-invasive treatment of raised seborrheic keratosis (SK). We have generated a high level of excitement around ESKATA in the dermatology community, and look forward to our official launch in the second quarter of 2018,” said Dr. Neal Walker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aclaris. “In January 2018, we announced positive topline results from two Phase 2 clinical trials (WART-202 and WART-203) of A-101 45% Topical Solution (A-101 45%) for the treatment of common warts (verruca vulgaris). We also advanced our topical Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor programs in alopecia, with results from multiple Phase 2 trials expected later this year. As our early-stage pipeline compounds advance towards the clinic, we continue to progress towards our goal of becoming a vertically integrated, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company with a robust clinical-stage pipeline and drug discovery engine.”
