Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase 4, Single-Blind, Randomized, Study to Compare the Tolerability and Efficacy of 0.1% Tazorac Cream When Used in Combination With Either Duac Gel or Acanya Gel for the Treatment of Facial Acne Vulgaris (NCT NCT01016977)

NCT ID: NCT01016977

Last Updated: 2017-01-30

Results Overview

Mean change from baseline was calculated as the average value at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 minus the value at baseline. Erythema (redness of the skin, due to increased blood flow in the capillaries in the lower layers of theh skin) was assessed by the investigator based on a 6-point scale: 0=none, which is normal; 1=trace, which is mild and localized; 2=mild, which is mild and diffuse; 3=moderate, which is moderate and diffuse; 4=marked, which is moderate and dense; 5=severe, which is prominent and dense.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all randomized participants who received study product. Some participants did not return for all visits; thus, data were not captured for all participants in the ITT Population at all visits.

Mean change from baseline was calculated as the average value at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 minus the value at baseline. Erythema (redness of the skin, due to increased blood flow in the capillaries in the lower layers of theh skin) was assessed by the investigator based on a 6-point scale: 0=none, which is normal; 1=trace, which is mild and localized; 2=mild, which is mild and diffuse; 3=moderate, which is moderate and diffuse; 4=marked, which is moderate and dense; 5=severe, which is prominent and dense.

Inflammation is defined as a localized protective reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection, characterized by pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes loss of function. The investigator counted inflammatory (papules, pustules, and nodules) and non-inflammatory (open and closed comedones) lesions on a participant's face at each study visit. The face is defined as the hairline edge to the mandibular line and should include the forehead, cheeks, and chin. W, Week.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: ITT Population. Participants with missing baseline values were not included in this analysis. No sunscreen or moisturizer data were collected; thus, there was no analysis of these data.

Skindex-29 is a 3-component (symptomatic, emotional, and functional) self-administered questionnaire (comprised of 30 questions) used to comprehensively measure the complex effects of skin diseases on a participant's quality of life. Participants were asked to answer questions based on a 5-point scale concerning their feelings over the past 4 weeks about the skin condition that has bothered them the most: 1, never; 2, rarely; 3, sometimes; 4, often; 5, all the time. The Global Score is the sum of the 30 question scores; total score ranges from 30 to 150.
