Brief Summary

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

Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea is a type of rosacea that causes a red face often with frequent flushing, topical sensitivity and prominent blood vessels. We think that long term damage to skin from the sun (photodamage) may play a role in causing this type of rosacea. Tretinoin is a topical medication that is known to improve photodamage. We want to find out if Atralin (tretinoin 0.05%) Gel used for up to 46 weeks will improve erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vehicle gel

Topical gel that does not contain active drug. The gel will be applied initially 3 times per week to the face. If no irritation seen at follow up visit, the investigator will consider increasing the frequency of use. This topical medication will not be applied more than once daily. If there is irritation, the subject will be asked to decrease frequency of use.
