Brief Summary

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

The pilot study will investigate whether combination treatment of Finacea 15% Gel and Brimonidine 0.33% Gel could be more effective than Brimonidine 0.33% Gel monotherapy in treating both the papules/pustules and erythema associated with rosacea.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acne rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease with different components including inflammatory lesions (papules/pustules), erythema and telangiectasia. Brimonidine 0.33% Gel primarily affects the erythematous components of rosacea. As such, combination treatment with a standard rosacea treatment, such as Finacea 15% Gel, may provide additional relief for the inflammatory component of rosacea.
