What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Inflammatory Lesion Counts		12 weeks
Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Non-inflammatory Lesion Counts		12 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Success on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score	Success was defined as at least a two grade reduction and clear or almost clear at Week 12. The Evaluator's Global Severity Score has grades for acne severity of 0 (Clear), 1 (Almost Clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), and 4 (Severe), with higher scores indicating worse severity.	12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Inflammatory Lesion Count Percentage Changes at Week 4, 8, and 12		Baseline to Week 4, 8, 12
Noninflammatory Lesion Count Percentage Changes at Week 4, 8, and 12		Baseline to Week 4, 8, 12
Percentage of Participants With at Least a Two Grade Reduction on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score at Week 12	The Evaluator's Global Severity Score has grades for acne severity of 0 (Clear), 1 (Almost Clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), and 4 (Severe), with higher scores indicating worse severity.	12 weeks
