Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Are Very Satisfied/Satisfied/Somewhat Satisfied With the Overall Study Treatment
Time Frame: Day 8
Percentage of participants who are very satisfied/satisfied/somewhat satisfied with the study treatment were reported.
Day 8
Percentage of Participants With Facial Redness Questionnaire at Day 8
Time Frame: Day 8
Percentage of participants for each category of facial redness questionnaire on Day 8 was reported. Facial redness questionnaire included 12 questions/categories 1. Satisfied with appearance, 2. Appearance acceptable, 3. Appearance concerned, 4. Embarrassed with facial redness, 5. Self-conscious, 6. Frequency control last 24 hours, 7. Frustrated, 8. Cover up or camouflage, 9. Pay attention to the known triggers, 10. Avoid the known triggers, 11. Interfering with social life, 12. Interfering with work life.
Day 8
EuroQuality of Life-5 Dimensional-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L) Questionnaire at Day 8
Time Frame: Day 8
EQ-5D-3L is a 3-level, 5-dimensional format standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome used to assess the impact of study treatments on participants quality of life as follows: 1) mobility; 2) self-care; 3) usual activities; 4) pain/discomfort; 5) anxiety/depression. Each dimension comprises 3 levels with corresponding numeric scores, where 1 indicates no problems, and 3 indicates extreme problems. Participant selects answer for each of 5 dimensions considering response that best matches his/her health today with anchors ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). An increase in the EQ-5D-3L total score indicates improvement.
Day 8
Percent Change From Baseline in Total Score of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Questionnaire at Day 8
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 8
DLQI was a compact health-related quality of life index that has 10 questions and depends on the participants self-declaration about experiences during the previous week. DLQI results range between grades 0 and 30. [Grade 0-1]: No effect at all on participant's life, [Grade 2-5]: Small effect at all on participant's life, [Grade 6-10]: Moderate effect at all on participant's life, [Grade 11-20]: Very large effect at all on participant's life, [Grade 21-30]: Extremely large effect at all on participant's life. As the DLQI scores increase, the impact of the studied disease on life becomes greater.
Baseline, Day 8
Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimensional-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L) Questionnaire (Along With a Visual Analogue Score for the Overall Health State) at Day 8
Time Frame: Day 8
EQ-5D-3L is a 3-level, 5-dimensional format standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome used to assess the impact of study treatments on participants quality of life as follows: 1) mobility; 2) self-care; 3) usual activities; 4) pain/discomfort; 5) anxiety/depression. Each dimension comprises 3 levels with corresponding numeric scores, where 1 indicates no problems, and 3 indicates extreme problems. Participant selects answer for each of 5 dimensions considering response that best matches his/her health today with anchors ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). An increase in the EQ-5D-3L total score indicates improvement.
Day 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With at Least Two Grade Improvement in the Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA)
Time Frame: Day 8
Evaluation of erythema by using CEA was assessed by 0 to 4 grades, where 0-Clear skin with no signs of erythema, 1- Almost clear; slight redness, 2-Mild erythema; definite redness, 3-Moderate erythema; marked redness, 4-Severe erythema; fiery redness. Percentage of participants with at least two grade improvement in the CEA was reported.

Change From Baseline in Facial Inflammatory Lesion Counts at Day 8
