Study summary

To assess the efficacy and safety of S5G4T-1 compared to S5G4T-1 vehicle when applied once daily for 12 weeks in participants with papulopustular rosacea.

Read the detailed description

In this Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group pivotal study, participants will be admitted only after a written informed consent has been obtained and after all inclusion/exclusion criteria have been met. Male and female participants at least 18 years of age with moderate or severe papulopustular rosacea will be eligible for enrollment for daily treatment with S5G4T-1 or its vehicle for 12 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving an IGA Score of Clear or Almost Clear From Baseline at Week 12

    Percentage of participants in each treatment group achieving an acne severity IGA score of "clear (score=0)" or "almost clear (score=1)". Please note, the Percentage of Participants multiplied by the Overall Number of Participants Analyzed does not equal a whole number because missing efficacy data was based on estimation using the method of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) imputation.

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Counts at Week 12

    Inflammatory lesions were characterized as papules and pustules. A papule was defined as a solid, elevated inflammatory lesion equal to or less than 5 mm in diameter. A pustule was defined as an elevated inflammatory lesion equal to or less than 5 mm in diameter and contains pus (yellow-white exudate). Least squares means and standard deviations from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with factors of treatment, analysis center and treatment by analysis center interaction and the Baseline lesion count as a covariate. Negative least squares means values represent decrease from Baseline.
