Are any drug companies working on a safer Accutane-like med?

Wondering if the drug companies are working on "cures" like Accutane
that are safer. Anyone know of anything? I personally know a lot of
people who got permanently clear on Accutane, but I am scared to death
of the dangers.

You would think these companies would be falling all over themselves
to improve on the mechanism of acttion to reduce damage and side
effects.

real "booms" are rare. usually it's little steps.
i'm thinking gene therapy. japs have discovered the gene for hair loss(going bald) and another gene for hair
growth. they're working on a cure for baldness. who knows..maybe someone will take the same route for acne.
