Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants Who Were a Success With Regard to Worst Post-baseline Tolerability Assessment Scores in Each Assessment (Erythema, Scaling, Dryness, Stinging/Burning) From Baseline to Week 3
Number of participants who were a success with regard to worst post-baseline tolerability assessment scores in each of the tolerability assessments at any time point between baseline and week 3. Tolerability assessments (erythema, scaling, dryness, stinging/burning) are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst. Success was defined as a tolerability score of 0.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants Who Were a Success With Regard to Worst-baseline Tolerability Assessment Scores in Each Assessment (Erythema, Scaling, Dryness, Stinging/Burning) on Day 22.
Number of participants who were a success with regard to worst-baseline tolerability assessment scores for each assessment (erythema, scaling, dryness, stinging/burning) on day 22. Tolerability assessments (erythema, scaling, dryness, stinging/burning) are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst. Success was defined as a tolerability score of 0 for each assessment.
