Reliable methods of contraception are:
- hormonal methods or intrauterine device in use ≥90 days prior to study drug administration;
- barrier methods plus spermicide in use at least 14 days prior to study drug administration; or
- vasectomized partner (vasectomy must be performed 3 months prior to first study drug administration or in the alternative a zero sperm count will suffice) [Exception: female subjects of childbearing potential who are not sexually active will not be required to practice a reliable method of contraception. These subjects may be enrolled at the Investigator's discretion if they are counseled to remain sexually inactive during the study and understand the possible risks in getting pregnant during the study.] ii. Facial acne IGA score of 4 iii. Minimum of 20 or more inflammatory lesions and 20 or more non-inflammatory lesions and not more than 4 nodules iv.

12 weeks
|
Inflammatory Lesion Count
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12
|
Inflammatory lesions here include papules and pustules on the face from edge of hairline to mandibular line as counted by the Investigator.
Lower counts indicate less severe disease.
|
Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12
