Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CT Gel in subjects with acne vulgaris. The hypothesis is that CT Gel is superior to Clindamycin Gel, Tretinoin Gel and Vehicle Gel for the treatment of acne vulgaris.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

CT Gel is a fixed-combination product that addresses the multifactorial factors of acne vulgaris pathogenesis. Based on numerous nonclinical pharmacology studies of each active ingredient, it is expected that this new product will have three biological actions: 1) comedolytic, 2) antimicrobial, and 3) anti-inflammatory.
