Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study That Evaluates the Decrease in Irritation When Using Additional Acne Treatment Products (NCT NCT01313728)

NCT ID: NCT01313728

Last Updated: 2012-02-15

Results Overview

Ordinal erythema scores (on a scale of 0=none to 8=severe scaling and fissuring) were collected on weekdays for two weeks and the total daily score (for all subjects) was treated as a single interval measurement for comparative assessment between treatment regimens. Thus, for the total for the 25 Participants measured, minimum possible score reported below is 0 and maximum is 2000 (highest possible score of 8, times 10 days, times 25 subjects).

Ordinal dryness scores (on a scale of 0=none to 8=deep) were collected on weekdays for two weeks and the total daily score (for all subjects) was treated as a single interval measurement for comparative assessment between treatment regimens. Thus, for the total for the 25 Participants measured, minimum possible score reported below is 0 and maximum is 2000 (highest possible score of 8, times 10 days, times 25 subjects).

Timeframe: Baseline to 2 Weeks

Population: Intention to Treat (ITT)

Ordinal burning/stinging scores (on a scale of 0=none to 3=severe) were collected on weekdays for two weeks and the total daily score (for all subjects) was treated as a single interval measurement for comparative assessment between treatment regimens.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 2 Weeks

All interval measurements were combined for comparative assessment between treatment regimens. Facial tolerance is the sum of scores from Erythema, Dryness, Burning/Stinging, Itching, and Tightness assessments, reported in Outcome Measures 1-5. Thus, for the total for the 25 Participants measured, minimum possible score reported below is 0 and maximum is 6250 (highest possible combined score of 25, times 10 days, times 25 subjects).
