What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Time Frame |
---|---|
The evaluation of the primary endpoint will be based on the mean percent changes from baseline to week 12 in the inflammatory (papules and pustules) lesion counts and in the non-inflammatory (comedones) lesion counts.
Time Frame: Week 12

Analysis of Application Site Reactions
Time Frame: 12 Weeks
|
A descriptive analysis comparing the application site reactions for each treatment group will be conducted to ensure that the test product is not worse than the reference product with regard to the expected and unexpected application site reactions.
|
12 Weeks
|
Safety analyses were conducted on the Safety population.
Time Frame: 12 Weeks
|
Safety incidence of all AEs reported during the study was summarized using the Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), by treatment group, body system, severity, and relationship to study drug. The report of AEs included date of onset, description of the AE, and date of resolution. |
