ACRS announced FDA Fast Track designation for modzatinib (ATI-2138) to treat moderate-to-severe LP, including oral erosive LP, cutaneous LP, and lichen planopilaris. The program will begin a phased, multi-part Phase 2b trial in Q4 2026, with rolling review and potential Priority Review under Fast Track.
