    Measured: Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Non-inflammatory Lesion Counts

    Absolute change from Baseline in non-inflammatory lesion counts in each treatment group at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Counts

    Absolute change from Baseline in inflammatory lesion counts in each treatment group at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Total Lesion Counts

    Absolute change from Baseline in total lesions counts in each treatment group at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in Total Lesion Counts

    Percent change from Baseline in total lesions counts in each treatment group at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Non-inflammatory Lesion (NIL) Counts

    Percent change from Baseline in non-inflammatory lesions count in each treatment group at Week 12.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  4. Percent Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion (IL) Counts

    Percent change from Baseline in inflammatory lesions count in each treatment group at Week 12.

A Phase 3 study testing CB-03-01 cream, 1% in people with Acne Vulgaris, run by Cassiopea SpA at 54 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 20 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 54 sites in United States, Ukraine, Georgia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Achieving Success in Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) (time frame: Week 12). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02608450, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 20 Nov 2020.
