Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Rifaximin in Patients With Moderate-to-severe Papulopustular Rosacea (NCT NCT05150587)

NCT ID: NCT05150587

Last Updated: 2024-04-24

Results Overview

This is a co-primary endpoint. Success of the study will be declared in any of the active treatment groups if both the co-primary efficacy endpoints (here listed as 1 and 2) will be satisfied (note: the two items may not necessarily occur in the same patient): 1. Mean change from Baseline in number of rosacea inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules or plaques) at the end of treatment; 2. Percent of participants showing treatment success defined as IGA (Investigator's Global Assessment) score of 0 or 1 (0=clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe) at the end of treatment.
