Hi doctor:
I was searching online and I just saw that and I think might be interesting for you to see the future plan of action from Merck.
Interesting reading and thanks for sending! Keep in mind that a patent application doesn’t necessarily mean this is something that Merck will take to market, nor does it mean that a topical works as well as the oral pill. It’s not a clinical trial, but it mentions a study without providing much more information.
