- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean Percent Change From Baseline to Week 11 (Study Day 77) for Inflammatory (Papules and Pustules) Lesions. week 11 Mean percent change from baseline to week 11 (study Day 77) for inflammatory (papules and pustules) lesions in PP populations. The primary endpoint of the study is mean percent change from baseline to week 11 (study Day 77) in the inflammatory (papules and pustules) lesion count.
Papule was Inflammatory lesion; small (\< 5mm in diameter), solid palpable lesion, usually with inflamed elevation of the skin that does not contain pus. Pustule was Inflammatory lesion; small (\< 5mm in diameter), inflamed skin swelling that is filled with pus. The test product was judged therapeutically equivalent to the reference product in the reduction of inflammatory lesions if the 90% confidence interval was contained within the interval (0.80, 1.25)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean Percent Change From Baseline to Week 11 in the Non-inflammatory Lesion Count week 11 Mean percent change from baseline to week 11 in the non-inflammatory lesion count. The mean percent change from baseline to week 11 in the non-inflammatory (open and closed comedones) lesion count in per protocol population . The analysis was same as the analysis performed for the mean percent reduction from baseline to Day 77 in the number of inflammatory lesion count.
Closed Comedone was Non-inflammatory lesion; whitehead, skin-colored or slightly inflamed "bump" in the skin. Open Comedone was Non-inflammatory lesion; blackhead, surface of the plugged sebaceous follicle has a blackish appearance. The test product was judged therapeutically equivalent to the reference product in the reduction of Non inflammatory lesions if the 90% confidence interval was contained within the interval (0.80, 1.25)Proportion of Subjects With a Clinical Response of "Success" at Week 11 Week 11 Success was defined as an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score that is at least 2 grades less than the baseline assessment.
Percentage of subjects with at least 2 grades improvement in IGA scoring from baseline to week 11 for test, reference and placebo in Per protocol population.
IGA is evaluated in the range of 0 to 4. Grade 0=Clear skin with no inflammatory or non-inflammatory lesions;Grade 1=Almost clear;rare non-inflammatory lesions with no more than one small inflammatory lesion; Grade 2 = Mild severity; greater than grade 1;some non-inflammatory lesions with no more than a few inflammatory lesions (papules/pustules only, no nodular lesions);Grade 3 = Moderate severity; greater than Grade 2; up to many non-inflammatory lesions and may have some inflammatory lesions, but no more than one small nodular lesion;Grade 4= Severe; greater than Grade 3;up to many non-inflammatory lesions and may have some inflammatory lesions,but no more than a few nodular lesions
