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. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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

9 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female at least 9 years of age and older;
  2. Written and verbal informed consent must be obtained. Subjects less than age of consent must sign an assent for the study and a parent or a legal guardian must sign the informed consent (if subject reaches age of consent during the study they should be re-consented at the next study visit);
  3. Subject must have a score of 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe) on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) assessment at the baseline visit;
  4. Subjects with facial acne inflammatory lesion (papules, pustules, and nodules) count no less than 20 but no more than 50;
  5. Subjects with facial acne non-inflammatory lesion (open and closed comedones) count no less than 25 but no more than 100;
  6. Subjects with two or fewer facial nodules

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Use of an investigational drug or device within 30 days of enrollment or participation in a research study concurrent with this study;
  2. Any dermatological conditions on the face that could interfere with clinical evaluations such as acne conglobata, acne fulminans, secondary acne, perioral dermatitis, clinically significant rosacea, gram-negative folliculitis, dermatitis, eczema;
  3. Any underlying disease(s) or some other dermatological condition of the face that requires the use of interfering topical or systemic therapy or makes evaluations and lesion count inconclusive;
  4. Subjects with a facial beard or mustache that could interfere with the study assessments;
  5. Subjects with more than two (2) facial nodules;
  6. Evidence or history of cosmetic-related acne

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
Absolute Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.
Baseline to Week 12
Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least a 2-grade Reduction From Baseline at Week 12 in the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) and Had an EGSS at Week 12 That Equated to "Clear" or "Almost Clear"
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) was determined based on evaluator-blinded evaluations of the signs and symptoms of acne vulgaris. Evaluations were scored on a scale of 0-4, with 0 being clear and 4 being severe.
Baseline to Week 12

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 Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.
Baseline to Week 12
Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least a 2-grade Reduction From Baseline at Week 12 in the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) was determined based on evaluator-blinded evaluations of the signs and symptoms of acne vulgaris. Evaluations were scored on a scale of 0-4, with 0 being clear and 4 being severe.
Baseline to Week 12
Percentage Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 8
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8
For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures.
