What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Inflammatory Lesion Counts

    Absolute change from Baseline to Week 12 in mean inflammatory lesion counts

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  2. Non-inflammatory Lesion Counts

    Absolute change from Baseline to Week 12 in mean non-inflammatory lesion counts

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  3. Percentage of Participants With Success on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score

    Success was defined as at least a two grade reduction and clear or almost clear at Week 12. The Evaluator's Global Severity Score has grades for acne severity of 0 (Clear), 1 (Almost Clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), and 4 (Severe), with higher scores indicating worse severity.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Inflammatory Lesion Count Changes at Week 2, 4, and 8

    Absolute change from Baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8 in mean inflammatory lesion counts

    Measured: Baseline to Week 2, 4, 8

  2. Non-inflammatory Lesion Count Changes at Week 2, 4, and 8

    Absolute change from Baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8 in mean non-inflammatory lesion counts

    Measured: Baseline to Week 2, 4, 8

  3. Inflammatory Lesion Count Percentage Changes at Week 2, 4, and 8

    Percentage change from Baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8 in mean inflammatory lesion counts

    Measured: Baseline to Week 2, 4, 8

  4. Non-inflammatory Lesion Count Percentage Changes at Week 2, 4, and 8

    Percentage change from Baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8 in mean non-inflammatory lesion counts

    Measured: Baseline to Week 2, 4, 8

  5. Percentage of Participants With Success on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score at Weeks 2, 4, and 8

    Success was defined as at least a two grade reduction and clear or almost clear at the visit. The Evaluator's Global Severity Score has grades for acne severity of 0 (Clear), 1 (Almost Clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), and 4 (Severe), with higher scores indicating worse severity.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8

  6. Percentage of Participants With Two Grade Success on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score - at Weeks 2, 4, and 8

    Two grade success was defined as at least a two grade reduction. The Evaluator's Global Severity Score has grades for acne severity of 0 (Clear), 1 (Almost Clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), and 4 (Severe), with higher scores indicating worse severity.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IDP-126 Gel, IDP-126 Component A and IDP-126 Component B in people with Acne Vulgaris, run by Bausch Health Americas, Inc. at 34 sites in 2 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 6 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 10 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 sites in United States, Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 10 Nov 2021). 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?

Inflammatory Lesion Counts (time frame: Baseline to 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 NCT03170388, which also lists 2 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 10 Nov 2021.
