About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Epiduo and Adherence of Patients Between 12 to 20 Years Using This Drug First Time in the Monotherapy of Moderate Inflammatory Acne

The purpose of this observational study is to assess the efficacy of Epiduo and patient adherence under daily clinical practice conditions in adults and adolescents (12 to 20 years) with moderate inflammatory acne using this drug first time in topical monotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this observational study is to assess the efficacy of Epiduo and patient adherence under daily clinical practice conditions in adults and adolescents (12 to 20 years) with moderate inflammatory acne using this drug first time in topical monotherapy. This non-interventional trial will include a larger population of teenaged acne patients in order to establish the practical contribution of a new mini-questionnaire to the evaluation of adherence for the physician in the daily clinical practice in general and in young adults topically treated with Epiduo in particular. In addition safety and local tolerability profile of Epiduo are to be assessed under marketed conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acne, run by Galderma Laboratorium GmbH.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Severity of acne (time frame: at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2016.
