Phase IV Study to Gather More Information About the Safety of ACZONE Gel, 5% in Treating Subjects...
Acne VulgarisThe purpose of this study is to gather more information about the safety of ACZONE Gel, 5% in treating subjects with acne who have certain blood disorders. ACZONE Gel, 5% is a prescription skin use (topical) medicine used to help treat acne in people 12 years and older. ACZONE Gel, 5% has been studied in approximately 4000 people and was shown to reduce the number of pimples and improve acne. The active drug ingredient in ACZONE Gel, 5% is dapsone. People with blood disorders called "G6PD deficiency", "methemoglobin reductase deficiency", and "hemoglobin M" have a higher chance of side effects with dapsone. G6PD is short for "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase". It is an enzyme found in red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body. G6PD helps the red blood cells to function normally. Some people have less G6PD in their red blood cells than the average person. This is called G6PD deficiency. Two treatments - ACZONE Gel, 5% and placebo - will be studied for comparison.

Non-cutting Laser Therapy in the Treatment of Acne
Acne VulgarisThe purpose of this research project is to study the effect of non-ablative (non-cutting) laser therapy, a technique that uses laser energy to try to improve the appearance of the skin. This type of laser treatment creates changes in a layer of the skin called the dermis without causing an open wound in the skin. The use of non-ablative laser therapy, together with application of a photo-sensitizer (substance that makes the skin more sensitive to light), may improve the appearance of acne. The idea behind the photo-sensitizer is that it is supposed to make the laser more effective than using just the laser alone. It is not yet clear how much improvement can be seen with these treatments or exactly how the skin's response causes these improvements. In this study, we are interested in learning how well such a laser works to improve the symptoms of acne, as well as how much the photo-sensitizer actually enhances the efficacy of the laser.

Weekly Isotretinoin Therapy Study
Acne VulgarisIn current Dermatology practice, options for moderate acne vulgaris remain limited. The mainstay of treatment for moderate acne remains long courses of oral antibiotics despite emerging antibiotic resistance. The efficacy of daily to twice daily dosed isotretinoin, an oral vitamin A derivative, for treatment of severe acne has been well established. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed isotretinoin is effective for the treatment of patients with moderate acne. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and identify any adverse effects on this alternative dosing regimen.
