A Phase 2 interventional study of Lactezin and Placebo in Hormonal Acne, sponsored by United Laboratories. Status unknown at 1 site in Philippines. Open to female participants aged 22 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-12-09.

We previously showed that twice daily intake of a combination of 100 mg lactoferrin, 11 IU vitamin E, and 5 mg zinc significantly reduced both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions compared to placebo control. In that study, females showed an overall better response compared to males in terms of total lesions. We speculated that the gender effect may be due to mitigation of the pre- menstrual flare-ups women have that lead to recurring acne, making them have a better response. The objectives of this study are: 1.) to characterize the efficacy and safety of 100 mg lactoferrin + 11 IU vitamin E + 5 mg zinc in the adult female population who suffer from hormonal acne, 2.) to determine whether the anti-acne effect is maintained after treatment stops.

Exclusion Criteria:
Current imuunosuppression. Specifically, these include patients with co-morbidities such as diabetes, , chronic diseases patients requiring maintenance medications, such as vascular disease,
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
