    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Adverse Device event incidence

    To evaluate the safety of the device trough Adverse Device Event incidence assessed by Investigators at all visits and reported according to the current legislation.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Serious Adverse Device event incidence

    To evaluate the safety of the device trough Serious Adverse Device Event incidence assessed by Investigators at all visits and reported according to the current legislation.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. Anticipated Serious Adverse Device event incidence

    To evaluate the safety of the device trough Anticipated Serious Adverse Device Event incidence assessed by Investigators at all visits and reported according to the current legislation.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change in total number of lesions

    To evaluate the overall performance of the medical device Ialuxid® Gel in the treatment of acne vulgaris, and folliculitis in terms of change in the total number of lesions, according to lesions count performed by Investigator

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Global Acne Grading System (GAGS)

    To assess acne vulgaris severity by means of the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) score, assessed by Investigator. Only for patients affected by acne vulgaris.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Total Severity Score (TSS)

    To assess the total number of patients having a decrease in the global severity of the disease by means of the Total Severity Score (TSS), assessed by Investigator.

    To evaluate the global safety of Ialuxid® Gel by means of the Investigator Assessment of Performance (IGAS) assessed by the Investigator, providing the safety on a four point scale from 4 meaning poor safety to 1 meaning very good safety.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  7. Patient Global Assessment of Performance (PGAS)

    To evaluate the global safety of Ialuxid® Gel by means of the Patient Assessment of Performance (PGAS) assessed by the patient, providing the safety on a four point scale from 4 meaning poor safety to 1 meaning very good safety.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  8. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    To assess the quality of life by means of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score, assessed by patients, providing the impact the disease had on the subjects life in various scenarios from not at all to very much

    Measured: 8 weeks

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Romania. 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. 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?

Change in total number of lesions (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 7 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 NCT05345093, which also lists 29 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.
