Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Tazarotene Foam, 0.1%, in Subjects With Common Facial Acne - W0260-301 (NCT NCT01017146)

NCT ID: NCT01017146

Last Updated: 2017-01-18

Results Overview

LC: count of all inflammatory lesions (ILs, i.e., papules, pustules, and nodules) and non-inflammatory lesions (NILs, i.e., open and closed comedones) at Baseline and at Week 12. Total lesions (TLs) were calculated as the sum of ILs and NILs. LC was confined to the face (including forehead, nose, checks, and chin). Change from Baseline at Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

Tazarotene Foam
Tazarotene foam containing 0.1% tazarotene in an emulsion formulation foam vehicle was applied to the face once daily in the early evening for 12 weeks. A sufficient amount of study product was applied to cover the entire face and was gently rubbed into the skin until the study product disappeared. Tazarotene foam was packaged in a 100-gram aluminum can pressurized with a hydrocarbon propellant.
Vehicle Foam
The matching vehicle foam containing only tazarotene foam vehicle was applied to the face once daily in the early evening for 12 weeks. A sufficient amount of study product was applied to cover the entire face and was gently rubbed into the skin until the study product disappeared. Vehicle foam was packaged in a 100-gram aluminum can pressurized with a hydrocarbon propellant.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1) and Week 12

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis Set: all randomized participants who were dispensed study product. Calculation was based on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method for missing data, in which missing final values of the outcome variable are replaced by the last known value before the participant was lost to follow up.

LC: count of all inflammatory lesions (ILs, i.e., papules, pustules, and nodules) and non-inflammatory lesions (NILs, i.e., open and closed comedones) at Baseline and at Week 12. Total lesions (TLs) were calculated as the sum of ILs and NILs. LC was confined to the face (including forehead, nose, checks, and chin). Change from Baseline at Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1); Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12

Population: ITT Analysis Set: only those participants 17 years of age or older and whose DLQI scores were calculated at Baseline and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, or 12 were evaluated for change in DLQI score at the respective week.

The DLQI was used to measure how much the participants' skin problem had affected their life over the last week. The DLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30: 0-1=no effect at all on the participant's life; 2-5=small effect on the participant's life; 6-10=moderate effect on the participant's life; 11-20=very large effect on the participant's life; 21-30=extremely large effect on the participant's life. A lower score on the DLQI indicates increased quality of life; therefore, negative changes from Baseline indicate improvements.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1); Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12

Population: ITT Analysis Set: only those participants 16 years of age or younger and whose CDLQI scores were calculated at Baseline and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, or 12 were evaluated for change in DLQI score at the respective week.

The CDLQI was used to measure how much the participants' skin problem had affected their life over the last week. The CDLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30: 0-1=no effect at all on the participant's life; 2-6=small effect on the participant's life; 7-12=moderate effect on the participant's life; 13-18=very large effect on the participant's life; 19-30=extremely large effect on the participant's life. A lower score on the CDLQI indicates increased quality of life; therefore, negative changes from Baseline indicate improvements.

Erythema is a skin condition characterized by redness or rash. Local tolerability assessments were performed by the Investigator at each study visit and were graded based on severity as G0 to G4: G0=absent (no redness); G1=slight (faint red or pink coloration, barely perceptible); G2=mild (light red or pink coloration); G3=moderate (medium red coloration); G4=severe (beet red coloration). Maximum During Treatment is defined as the maximum severity of erythema reported at any time during treatment.
