Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Oxymetazoline HCl Cream 1.0% in Patients With Persistent Erythema Associated With Rosacea (NCT NCT02132117)

NCT ID: NCT02132117

Last Updated: 2019-11-18

Results Overview

The investigator assessed the participant's overall severity of erythema in the treatment area by using the 5-point CEA scale with photonumeric guide where: 0=clear skin with no signs of erythema (best) to 4=severe erythema; fiery redness (worst). A decrease in the score indicates improvement. The participant assessed their overall severity of rosacea facial redness in the treatment area by using the 5-point SSA scale with photoguide where: 0=no signs of unwanted redness (best) to 4=severe redness (worst). A decrease in the score indicates improvement. The percentage of participants with at least a 2-grade decrease (improvement) on both CEA and SSA from Baseline was evaluated over the 12-hour evaluation period (hours 3, 6, 9, and 12) post-dose on Day 29. Baseline was defined as the measurement at pre-dose on Day 1.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 29 (Hours 3, 6, 9 and 12)

Population: Participants from the ITT Population, all randomized participants with data available for analysis.

Participants assessed their treatment satisfaction by answering Item #9 of the SAT-RFR: "Right now, how satisfied are you with the effect your study medication had on your facial redness?" using a 5-point scale where 0= very dissatisfied, 1=dissatisfied, 2=neither satisfied or dissatisfied, 3=satisfied, or 4=very satisfied. The percentage of participants who answered Satisfied or Very Satisfied is reported.

Population: Participants from the ITT Population, all randomized participants, with data available for analysis at the given time-point. Only participants who had a SA-RFR score of 1-4 at Baseline are included in the Analysis.

Participants assessed the burning sensation associated with rosacea facial redness by answering Item #4 of the SA-RFR: "Right now, how much does your face burn because of your facial redness?" using a 5-point scale where 0=less severe to 4=severe. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
