Primary Outcome Measures

Percent Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Count at Week 12
Percent change from baseline in inflammatory lesion count at week 12 was reported. Inflammatory lesions included facial inflammatory lesions of rosacea (that is [i.e.] papules and pustules) which were defined as follows: Papule - a small, solid elevation less than 1.0 centimeter (cm) in diameter; and Pustule - a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin, which contains yellow white exudates. Papules and pustules were counted separately on each of the 5 facial regions (forehead, chin, nose, right cheek and left cheek). Notably, nodules (i.e. circumscribed, elevated, solid lesions more than 1.0 cm in diameter with palpable depth) were not included in the count of inflammatory lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percent Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Count at Weeks 4 and 8
Percent change from baseline in inflammatory lesion count at Weeks 4 and 8 was reported. Inflammatory lesions included facial inflammatory lesions of rosacea (i.e. papules and pustules) which were defined as follows: Papule - a small, solid elevation less than 1.0 centimeter in diameter. Pustule - a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin, which contains yellow white exudates. Papules and pustules were counted separately on each of the 5 facial regions (forehead, chin, nose, right cheek and left cheek). Notably, nodules (i.e. circumscribed, elevated, solid lesions more than 1.0 cm in diameter with palpable depth) were not included in the count of inflammatory lesions.

Percentage of participants with clear inflammatory lesions at week 12 was reported. Inflammatory lesions included facial inflammatory lesions of rosacea (i.e. papules and pustules) which were defined as follows: Papule - a small, solid elevation less than 1.0 cm in diameter. Pustule - a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin, which contains yellow white exudates. Papules and pustules were counted separately on each of the 5 facial regions (forehead, chin, nose, right cheek and left cheek). Notably, nodules (i.e. circumscribed, elevated, solid lesions more than 1.0 cm in diameter with palpable depth) were not included in the count of inflammatory lesions.
Percentage of Participants With 100 Percent (%) Reduction in Inflammatory Lesions at Weeks 4, 8 and 12
Percentage of participants with 100% reduction in inflammatory lesions at Weeks 4, 8 and 12 was reported. Inflammatory lesions included facial inflammatory lesions of rosacea (i.e. papules and pustules) which were defined as follows: Papule - a small, solid elevation less than 1.0 centimeter in diameter. Pustule - a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin, which contains yellow white exudates. Papules and pustules were counted separately on each of the 5 facial regions (forehead, chin, nose, right cheek and left cheek). Notably, nodules (i.e. circumscribed, elevated, solid lesions more than 1.0 cm in diameter with palpable depth) were not included in the count of inflammatory lesions.
Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA) Total Score at Weeks 4, 8 and 12
The evaluator assessed the participant's diffuse persistent facial erythema of rosacea by performing a static ("snap shot") evaluation of erythema severity at a social distance of approximately 50 centimeter (cm) using CEA scale, at each visit. CEA is a 5 point scale where 0 = clear (clear skin with no signs of erythema); 1 = almost clear (almost clear; slight redness); 2 = mild (mild erythema; definite redness); 3 = moderate (moderate erythema; marked redness); 4 = severe (severe erythema; fiery redness). A higher score than baseline indicates a worse outcome.

Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Total Score at Weeks 4, 8 and 12
The evaluator assessed the participant's rosacea by performing a static ("snap shot") evaluation, at a social distance of approximately 50 cm, using the IGA score. IGA is a 5 point scale where, 0 = clear (no inflammatory lesions present, no erythema); 1 = almost clear (very small papules/pustules, very mild erythema present); 2 = mild (few small papules/pustules, mild erythema); 3 = moderate (severe small or large papules/pustules, moderate erythema); 4 = severe (numerous small and/or large papules/pustules, severe erythema).

Global Improvement Total Score at Week 12 (Last Visit/Early Termination)
Participants were evaluated for his/her improvement in rosacea compared to his/her rosacea condition before study, using global Improvement scale. It is a 7 item scale where, 0=complete improvement (all signs and symptoms of disease have resolved [100% improvement]); 1=excellent improvement (nearly all signs and symptoms cleared [90% improvement]. Only minimal residual signs and symptoms remain); 2=very good improvement (majority of the signs and symptoms have resolved [about 75% improvement]); 3=good improvement (significant improvement, but many signs and symptoms remain [about 50% improvement]); 4=minimal improvement (slight overall improvement, but not clinically significant [about 25% improvement]); 5=no change (overall severity similar to baseline); 6=worse (worse than baseline).

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory value), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
