Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Acne Vulgaris With Doryx Tablets Compared to Doxycyline Hyclate (NCT NCT00635609)

NCT ID: NCT00635609

Last Updated: 2012-04-20

Results Overview

The Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) was performed at baseline and at 12 weeks. The IGA score is based on a 5-point acne severity scale from zero (clear) to 4 (severe). Successful outcome is at least a 2-point reduction in IGA score from baseline to 12 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 12 weeks

Population: intention to treat (ITT)

Acne lesions fall into 2 groups: inflammatory and non-inflammatory. The number of inflammatory acne lesions on the face was measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. The difference (change) was calculated.
