Study summary

In this study, we are interested in the global benefit of the tested product as complementary care to a topical medical treatment during a 3 month-associated treatment phase followed by a 3 month-maintenance phase, compared to a light moisturizing cream, in teenagers and adults with acne. We also want to evaluate the tolerance of the tested product in association and in maintenance of the topical medical treatment.

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

Started Jul 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2025, 12 months after the start.

Of 62 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Acne Vulgaris, half reached primary completion within 9 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 19. This study's planned 12 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 120 studies reached it within 9 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 18.

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 Dec 4, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
