Active clinical trials for "Acne Vulgaris"

The main purpose of this study is to assess preliminary efficacy and safety of LYS006 in patients with moderate to severe inflammatory acne and to determine if LYS006 has an adequate clinical profile for further clinical development.

To determine if Dapsone (Aczone) 7.5% gel is a safe and effective treatment for acne on the trunk

Acne vulgaris of adult woman has increased over the past 10 years; it affects currently 20% to 30% of adult women. The physiopathology of adult woman acne is distinguished from the teenager one by essentially 2 factors: hormonal factor with a peripheral hyperandrogenism coupled with an hypersensibility of cutaneous androgens receptors of these women. But this point is still at the stage of hypothesis. inflammatory factor linked with Propionibacterium Aces ; indeed these women received most of the time many cures of local and systematic antibiotics at the origin of resistant Propionibacterium Aces strains which lead to a chronical activation of cutaneous innate immunity. On a therapeutic plan, four types of systemic treatment, approved in this indication are: Tetracyclines which are problematic for the bacterial resistance and consequently constant relapse when they are stopped. Zinc salts which target only the inflammatory lesions and were shown less effective than cycline Antiandrogens, with acetate of cyproterone associated with risks of phlebitis and pulmonary embolism, and increase risk of triglycerides, cholesterol and hepatic balance. The last alternative is represented by isotretinoin but the use in women of childbearing potential is binding because of the teratogen risks and the hyperandrogenism represents an identified risk of relapse. In this context, the spironolactone could represent an interesting alternative. It blocks the 5-alpha-reductase receptors at sebaceous gland and inhibits Luteinizing hormone (LH) production at the pituitary level. It is not submitted to isotretinoin constraints, does not lead to bacterial resistance and targets the peripheral hyperandrogenism. Currently, very few studies have been performed and on a weak number of patients but they showed that at low doses (lower than 200mg/day), spironolactone can be effective against acne. In that context, it seemed clearly interesting to perform the first double-blind randomized study spironolactone vs cyclines which remains the moderate acne reference treatment and to demonstrate the superiority of spironolactone's efficacy in order to establish it as alternative way to cycline.

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease characterized by inflammatory papules, pustules, and comedones that is prevalent in men and women of color. Research has demonstrated that Aczone ® (dapsone) gel, 7.5% used once daily is effective, safe, and well-tolerated for the treatment of acne in both men and women; however, limited data is available regarding its efficacy and safety in skin of color (SOC). The current study aims to investigate the therapeutic impact of Aczone gel 7.5% in SOC males and females ages 18 and older with acne vulgaris. The study will also evaluate the impact of Aczone ® gel on hyperpigmentation and PIH of the face.

The primary objective of this randomized, split-face, controlled study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a erbium-doped 1,550-nm non-ablative fractional laser and a bipolar fractional radiofrequency microneedle device for the treatment of atrophic facial acne scars in ethnic skin (Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes III-VI). The hypothesis of this study is that both erbium-doped 1,550-nm non-ablative fractional laser and the bipolar fractional radiofrequency microneedle device are equally effective for the treatment of atrophic acne scars in ethnic skin (SPT III-VI). However, the bipolar fractional radiofrequency microneedle device has less adverse effects than erbium-doped 1,550-nm non-ablative fractional laser due to the absence of scattering and the absence of chromophore-specific targets - predominantly melanin - traditionally needed with laser treatments; hence the fractional radiofrequency microneedle device will have a higher safety profile in darker skin types .

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dermaroller and topical vitamin C- either separate or combined- in treatment of post acne scars. prospective randomized clinical trial that was The study was a randomized controlled trial, conducted in Sohag Dermatology outpatient clinic between June 2016 and of February 2018. 30 patients with acne scars were included. All patients were informed about the entire procedure, medication, possible side effects and outcomes. A written informed consent was signed from each participant.

This study aim to assess the efficacy of Er-YAG laser 2940nm and PRP as a single line of treatment in comparison with combined treatment in atrophic post acne scars.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Topical Administration of FMX101 for 12 Weeks in the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Acne Vulgaris (Study FX2017-22)

The objective is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of DMT310 topical powder mixed with diluent in male and female patients with moderate to severe facial acne vulgaris.

The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of Olumacostat Glasaretil Gel compared to vehicle in patients with acne vulgaris
