Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of IDP-121 and IDP-121 Vehicle Lotion in the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris (NCT NCT02965456)

NCT ID: NCT02965456

Last Updated: 2019-12-18

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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

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.

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.
