A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Adapalene-Clindamycin Combination Gel in the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Acne Vulgaris
Interventions
Combination Product: Adapalene-Clindamycin Combination Gel
Registration Number
NCT03615768
Lead Sponsor
Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited
Brief Summary

This is a study to see if Adapalene-Clindamycin Combination Gel is effective and safe in the treatment of acne vulgaris, compared to adapalene gel alone and clindamycin gel alone. Adapalene and clindamycin have been reported to have a better effect in acne treatment when used together. This new formulation is also easier to use as it combines two products into a single gel and only needs to be used once a day.
