Summary

Acne rosacea is a chronic acneiform disorder affecting both the skin and the eye. It is a syndrome of undetermined etiology characterized by both vascular and papulopustular components involving the face and occasionally the neck and upper trunk. This is a pilot phase II study to evaluate the tolerability and safety and to monitor the clinical efficacy of Topical Minocycline Foam FXFM244 in moderate to severe Rosacea patients.

Clinical Details

Official title: Pilot, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose Range Finding Study, to Evaluate the Tolerability and Safety of FXFM244 Antibiotic Foam and to Monitor Its Clinical Effect in Moderate to Severe Rosacea Patients

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Improvement in signs and symptoms of rosacea

Secondary outcome: The severity of the overall rosacea condition will be measured at baseline and at all follow-up visits. The severity will be assessed and graded based on the scales for erythema, telangiectases and number of papulopustular lesions

Detailed description: A Pilot, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose Range Finding Study. The study will involve three treatment groups. Eligible patients will be randomized

to receive either FXFM244 - 1%, FXFM244 - 4% or Placebo, in a blinded fashion. Patients will

be treated twice daily for 12 weeks. Following the screening period and baseline visit, study subjects will return at Weeks 3, 6, 9 and 12. A follow up visit will take place at week 16. At each visit, patients will be evaluated via lesion count, global assessment tolerability and safety.
