About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Anti-pigmenting Effect of a Routine of Facial Products in Subjects With Melasma

This 6 month, comparative study assesses the benefit of a dermocosmetic regimen (Serum B3 + B3 retinol night cream) for 6 months compared to hydroquinone 4% (the gold standard in hyperpigmentation) followed by the dermocosmetic regimen for 3 months or the Kligman Trio for 3 months followed by the dermocosmetic regimen for 3 months in adult women with melasma on the face.

Read the detailed description

Study objective

  1. Assessing the antipigmenting efficacy of the routine (serum B3 + B3 retinol night cream) in women with melasma.
  2. Evaluation of Kligman Trio (KT) (Vitacid Plus) compared to the routine (serum B3 + B3 retinol night cream)
  3. Evaluation of Hydroquinone 4% (HQ 4%) compared to the routine (serum B3 + B3 retinol night cream).
  4. Assessment of the routine maintenance with SERUM B3 + retinol B3 night cream after 3 months of use of Klingman Trio (KT)(Vitacid plus) and HQ4%

Primary endpoint:

  • Improvement of mMASI and MASI

Secondary endpoints:

  • Improvement of Physician Global Assessment IGA for melasma
  • Improvements on clinical parameters such as fine lines, skin tone, radiance, skin texture and skin elasticity evaluated by the investigator.
  • Global efficacy by the subject and by the investigator (Physician's Global assessment)
  • Global tolerance
  • Safety
  • Cosmetic acceptability
  • Improvement of Quality of life (MelasQOL)
  • Exposome questionnaire
  • Questionnaire on hormonal status
  • Improvement of the morphological and structural characteristics of ageing skin - By confocal microscopy (15 subjects per subgroup)
  • Clinical scoring: hyperpigmentation scale

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Liftactiv® B3 Serum, Liftactiv® B3 retinol night cream and Sunscreen UVAage® Inter SPF 50+ in people with Melasma, run by Cosmetique Active International at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Claire Deloche-Bensmain, PhD (+33 7 76 11 27 98, claire.deloche-bensmaine@loreal.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

antipigmenting assessment (time frame: Day 84). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Jul 2024.
