A Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Assess the Safety, Efficacy and Tolerability of Oral DFD-29 Capsules for the Treatment of Rosacea.
brief summary
This is a 16-week, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, controlled study. After assessing eligibility during a screening period of up to 30 days, approximately 320 subjects at least 18 years old who are diagnosed with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea will be randomized in a 3:3:2 ratio to DFD-29 (40 mg), Doxycycline capsules 40 mg, or Placebo once daily for 16 weeks.
detailed description
This is a 16-week, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, controlled study. After assessing eligibility during a screening period of up to 30 days, approximately 320 subjects at least 18 years old who are diagnosed with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea will be randomized in a 3:3:2 ratio to DFD-29 (40 mg), Doxycycline capsules 40 mg, or Placebo once daily for 16 weeks.
Subject visits are scheduled at Screening, Baseline (Day 1), and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16. Clinical assessments of efficacy will be conducted based on Investigator's Global Assessment modified scale without erythema (IGA), Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), and total inflammatory lesion count at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 compared to Baseline.
Laboratory assessments of blood (hematology and biochemistry) and urine (routine tests) will be conducted at Screening and Week 16 (end of study \[EOS\] or early termination) to assess for any changes in the safety parameters. Other safety assessments include vital signs, physical examination, urine pregnancy tests (for females of childbearing potential), and collection of AE data.
The impact of the treatment on the quality of life (QoL) of the subjects will be assessed using the rosacea-specific tool RosaQoL in addition to the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at Baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16.
