Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 12Baseline to Week 12

For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.

Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least a 2-grade Reduction From Baseline at Week 12 in the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) and Had an EGSS at Week 12 That Equated to "Clear" or "Almost Clear"Baseline to Week 12

Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) was determined based on evaluator-blinded evaluations of the signs and symptoms of acne vulgaris. Evaluations were scored on a scale of 0-4, with 0 being clear and 4 being severe.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 8Baseline to Week 8

For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.

Percentage Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 12Baseline to Week 12

For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.

Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least a 2-grade Reduction From Baseline at Week 12 in the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS)Baseline to Week 12

Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) was determined based on evaluator-blinded evaluations of the signs and symptoms of acne vulgaris. Evaluations were scored on a scale of 0-4, with 0 being clear and 4 being severe.

Percentage Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 4Baseline to Week 4

For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.
