Trial Outcomes & Findings for Placebo Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of CD2475/101 40 mg Tablets vs. Placebo and Doxycycline 100 mg Capsules Once Daily in the Treatment of Inflammatory Lesions of Acne Vulgaris (NCT NCT01320033)

NCT ID: NCT01320033

Last Updated: 2021-02-18

Results Overview

The Inflammatory lesion count was the count of papules and pustules: papule was a small, solid elevation less than 0.5 cm in diameter, pustule was a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin that contains yellow-white exudate. Change from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts to Week 16 (LOCF) were reported.

Change from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts to Week 16 (LOCF) were reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 16 (LOCF)

Population: ITT Population consisted of all participants who were randomized and to whom study drug was dispensed.

IGA scale consisted of 5 grades (0-4) among which 0= Clear (no evidence of papules or pustules \[inflammatory lesions\]), 1= Almost clear (rare non-inflamed papules (papules must be resolving and hyperpigmented, though not pink-red), 2= Mild (few inflammatory lesions \[papules/pustules only; no nodulo-cystic lesions\]), 3=Moderate (multiple inflammatory lesions evident: many papules/pustules; up to two nodulocystic lesions), 4= Severe (inflammatory lesions are more apparent, many papules/pustules, few nodulo-cystic lesions). Success rate was defined as percentage of participants who achieved an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 1 (almost clear) or 0 (Clear) and at least a 2-grade improvement from Baseline to Week 16 (LOCF).
