Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of IDP-121 and IDP-121 Vehicle Lotion in the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris (NCT NCT02932306)

NCT ID: NCT02932306

Last Updated: 2020-01-03

Results Overview

Noninflammatory lesions were defined as follows: Open comedones (blackhead) - plugged hair follicle with dilated/open orifice, black in color; and Closed comedones (whitehead) - plugged hair follicle: small opening at skin surface. For noninflammatory facial lesions, open and closed comedones were recorded as a single count.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 0), Week 12

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants who received study drug. Multiple imputation (Markov Chain Monte Carlo \[MCMC\]) was used to impute missing values.

Noninflammatory lesions were defined as follows: Open comedones (blackhead) - plugged hair follicle with dilated/open orifice, black in color; and Closed comedones (whitehead) - plugged hair follicle: small opening at skin surface. For noninflammatory facial lesions, open and closed comedones were recorded as a single count.

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants who received study drug. Multiple imputation (MCMC) was used to impute missing values.

Inflammatory lesions were defined as follows: Papule - a solid, elevated lesion less than 5 millimeters (mm); and Pustule - an elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules and pustules were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions were counted and recorded separately.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants who received study drug and evaluable for EGSS score. Multiple imputation (MCMC) was used to impute missing values. 1 participant was excluded from analysis of dichotomized EGSS because EGSS was not performed at baseline.

Treatment success was defined as at least a 2-grade reduction from Baseline in EGSS score and an EGSS score equating to "Clear" or "Almost Clear". EGSS was based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4; where 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.
