therapies for cancer or autoimmune disease treatment or prevention of organ transplant
rejection or due to an inherited condition that affects the immune system.

- Subject has at least 10 clinically typical, visible and discrete MCs within a
treatment area on either the face and/or trunk. Treatment area is defined as either:

- One contiguous treatment area of at most 100 cm2

- Two non-contiguous treatment areas totaling at most 100 cm2

- Subject must be willing to forego any other treatments of MC on the face and/or trunk,
including tanning bed use and excessive sun exposure, throughout the duration of the

- Subject is willing and able to participate in the study as an outpatient, making
frequent visits to the study center during the treatment and follow-up periods, and to
comply with all study requirements.

- Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test
prior to trial treatment.

- Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use effective
contraception at trial entry and until the last follow-up visit at Week 24.

Exclusion Criteria:

interfere with assessment of treatment, such as scabies, cutaneous lymphoma, or

efficacy during the course of the trial, as determined by the (sub)investigator's
clinical judgment.

- Known history of infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

- History of melanoma.

- History of chronic alcohol or drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening, or any
condition associated with poor compliance as judged by the (sub)investigator.
