Brief Summary

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

Benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin and tazarotene are known to be effective treatment alternative for acne vulgaris. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination product including these actives for the treatment of acne vulgaris.

You may be suitable to take part in this study because you have acne vulgaris on your face. Acne vulgaris usually affects the face, but it can also affect the skin on the chest, arms, legs, and back.

Detailed Description

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

The study subjects must have acne vulgaris and will apply study drug to their face for 12 weeks.

Study visits will occur at baseline (day 1) and at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. Subjects will be assessed at every visit to determine how the study drug is working. Safety will be assessed by evaluation of adverse events (AEs), vital signs, physical examinations, and withdrawals from the study.
