A Study (Study 1) to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of FMX103 1.5% Topical Minocycline Foam in the Treatment of Facial Papulopustular Rosacea

A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind, Vehicle-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of FMX103 1.5% Topical Minocycline Foam Compared to Vehicle in the Treatment of Facial Papulopustular Rosacea (FX2016-11)

The primary objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy and safety of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Facial Papulopustular Rosacea
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: FMX103 minocycline foam 1.5%; Drug: Vehicle foam

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 2 arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FMX103 topical foam containing 1.5% minocycline compared to vehicle, in the treatment of participants with moderate-to-severe facial papulopustular rosacea. Qualified participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (active:vehicle) to receive 1 of the following 2 treatments:

• FMX103 minocycline foam 1.5%
• Vehicle foam

Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 treatments according to the randomization schedule. Participants will apply (or have applied) the study drug topically once daily for 12 weeks as directed. Participants will be advised to use the study drug at approximately the same time each day. Both the Investigator and participant will be blinded to the study drug identity. Participants will return for visits at Weeks 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Efficacy evaluations (inflammatory lesion counts and Investigator's Global Assessment [IGA] score) will be performed at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 during the study.

Note: Originally the two studies FX2016-11 and FX2016-12 were combinedly presented in the protocol registration form under one NCT number (NCT03142451), and later separated since results were analyzed separately.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: FMX103 1.5%; Participants will apply the assigned FMX103 minocycline foam 1.5% topically once daily for 12 weeks as directed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Absolute Change From Day 0/Baseline in the Inflammatory Lesion Count at Week 12	To determine the efficacy of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea. Lesion counts included the number of papules, pustules, and nodules. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Baseline minus the post-Baseline value. Thus, a positive change reflects a reduction in lesion count.	Baseline and Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator Global Assessments (IGA) Treatment Success at Week 12	To determine the efficacy of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea. The Investigator assessed the global severity of rosacea using the IGA scale. The scale ranges from 0 (Clear): No inflammatory papules or pustules to 4 (Severe): Many inflammatory papules or pustules, and up to 2 nodules. Higher scores indicated severe outcome. Treatment success was defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear), and at least a 2-step improvement (decrease) from Day 0/Baseline.	Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving IGA Treatment Success of at Least 2 Grades at Week 12	To determine the efficacy of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea. The Investigator assessed the global severity of rosacea using the IGA scale. The scale ranges from 0 (Clear): No inflammatory papules or pustules to 4 (Severe): Many inflammatory papules or pustules, and up to 2 nodules. Higher scores indicated severe outcome. Treatment success was defined as a 2-grade improvement (decrease) in score at Week 12 compared to Day 0/Baseline. Here, overall number of participants analyzed signifies only the participants with available data that were analyzed for the outcome measure.	Week 12
The Percent Change From Day 0/Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Count at Week 12	To determine the efficacy of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea. Lesion counts included the number of papules, pustules, and nodules. Here, overall number of participants analyzed signifies only the participants with available data that were analyzed for the outcome measure.	Baseline and Week 12
The Absolute Change From Day 0/Baseline in the Inflammatory Lesion Counts at Week 4 and Week 8	To determine the efficacy of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea. Lesion counts included the number of papules, pustules, and nodules. The change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Baseline minus the post-Baseline value. Thus, a positive change reflects a reduction in lesion count.	Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8
Percentage of Participants Achieving IGA Treatment Success at Week 4 and Week 8	To determine the efficacy of FMX103 1.5% minocycline foam applied topically once daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of rosacea. The Investigator assessed the global severity of rosacea using the IGA scale. The scale ranges from 0 (Clear): No inflammatory papules or pustules to 4 (Severe): Many inflammatory papules or pustules, and up to 2 nodules. Higher scores indicated severe outcome. Treatment success was defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear), and at least a 2-grade improvement (decrease) from Day 0/Baseline.	Week 4 and Week 8
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)	To evaluate the tolerability and safety of topical minocycline foam applied once daily for 12 weeks. A treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) was defined as any AE with an onset date on or after the first application of study drug, and before to the last application of study drug plus 3 days, having been absent pre-treatment or worsening relative to the pre-treatment state.	From Day 0/Baseline until the Safety Follow-up (4 weeks after Week 12 [Final Visit])
