Study summary

The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a dermocosmetic product in reducing facial redness and visible blood vessels associated with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea.

Investigators will compare the dermocosmetic product to a placebo applied to opposite sides of the face, when used alone and in combination with laser treatment.

Participants will apply the products twice daily for 2 month followed by continued use in combination with laser treatment, and will attend regular clinical visits for assessments and questionnaires.

Read the detailed description

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by facial redness and visible blood vessels, which can significantly impact patients' quality of life. Current management often includes laser or light-based therapies, although these approaches may have limitations.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dermocosmetic product in reducing facial redness and visible blood vessels associated with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, when used alone and in combination with laser treatment.

This is a single-center, interventional study (RIPH 2), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and intra-individual (split-face) design in approximately 50 adult patients.

Participants will apply the dermocosmetic product and placebo to opposite sides of the face over a period of up to 8 months, including use in combination with laser treatment.

Efficacy will be assessed through clinical evaluations of redness and visible blood vessels, supported by standardized assessments and patient-reported outcomes. Safety will be evaluated through monitoring of local tolerability and adverse events.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Split-Face dermocosmetic

    Participants receive both treatments in a split-face design, with the dermocosmetic product applied to one side of the face and placebo applied to the opposite side. Treatments are applied twice daily.

    Other: Dermocosmetic tested product · Device: Vascular laser treatment

  • Placebo comparator
    Split-Face placebo

    Participants receive both treatments in a split-face design, with the dermocosmetic product applied to one side of the face and placebo applied to the opposite side. Treatments are applied twice daily.

    Other: Placebo · Device: Vascular laser treatment

Interventions

  • OtherDermocosmetic tested product

    The dermocosmetic product will be applied topically to one side of the face twice daily.

  • OtherPlacebo

    The placebo is a dermocosmetic formulation identical in appearance, texture, and application to the active product but without active ingredients. It is applied topically to the opposite side of the face twice daily, following the same regimen as the active product.

  • DeviceVascular laser treatment

    Participants receive three sessions of vascular laser treatment performed at regular intervals during the study. Laser therapy is used as part of standard care to target facial redness and visible blood vessels. The dermocosmetic product and placebo continue to be applied as adjunct treatments during this phase.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline in IGA Scores on Each Hemiface at 8 Months

    Efficacy is assessed using three Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scales evaluated independently on each hemiface: Global IGA, Erythema IGA, and Telangiectasia IGA. Each scale ranges from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe); lower scores indicate better outcome.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Tolerance of the tested product after laser session

    Local and systemic adverse events are assessed at each visit by the investigator. Tolerability is rated on a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) for erythema, burning, pruritus, and dryness on each hemiface independently.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 months

  2. Change from Baseline in TroSA Score on Each Hemiface at 8 Months

    TroSA (Telangiectasia Rosacea Score Assessment) is a photographic standardized scale assessing telangiectasia severity on each hemiface independently. Scores range from 0 (Clear) to 4 (severe telangiectasia); lower scores indicate better outcome.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 months
