Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase 2 Study of ASC-J9 Cream in Acne Vulgaris (NCT NCT00525499)

NCT ID: NCT00525499

Last Updated: 2011-11-23

Results Overview

Percent change in inflammatory lesion counts from Baseline to Week 12. It is calculated by taking the Week 12 count minus the Baseline count and then dividing by the Baseline count. Thus, a negative percent change will reflect a reduction in lesion counts.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 12

Population: ITT population: All randomized subjects

The Investigator Global Assessment used a static categorical scale, with zero corresponding to no acne and higher scores reflecting more severe acne: 0 No acne lesions. 1. Rare non-inflammatory lesions. 2. Some non-inflammatory lesions, no more than a few inflammatory lesions. No nodulo-cystic lesions. 3. Many non-inflammatory lesions, some inflammatory lesions, no more than one nodulo-cystic lesion. 4. Many noninflammatory and inflammatory lesions but no more than a few nodulo-cystic lesions. 5. Highly inflammatory lesions, multiple nodulo-cystic lesions.
