Dermata Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DRMA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel treatments for inflammatory skin diseases using its proprietary Spongilla technology platform.

A second candidate, DMT410, utilizes the same sponge material in a different formulation for topical delivery and is being investigated for aesthetic indications, such as reducing submental fat, and medical conditions including psoriasis and primary axillary hyperhidrosis. As a public company, Dermata is focused on advancing its pipeline through clinical development and regulatory milestones.
