Study summary

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Topical Administration of FMX101 for 12 Weeks in the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Acne Vulgaris (Study FX2017-22)

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 2 arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy over 12 weeks of FMX101 topical foam containing 4% minocycline compared to vehicle in the treatment of subjects with moderate-to-severe facial acne vulgaris. Qualified subjects will be randomized to receive 1 of the following 2 treatments:

  • FMX101 4% minocycline foam
  • Vehicle foam

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2017 to primary completion in Sep 2018, 13 months.

Results were first posted in Feb 2020, 1 year 5 months after primary completion.

Of 53 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Acne Vulgaris, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 17. This study's 13 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 62 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 17.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 18, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
