Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the efficacy of the investigational product by assessing the following parameters: • Changes in clinical grading of contrast of selected PIH spot. when compared with D0. • Changes in clinical grading of density of selected PIH spot. • Changes in the size of selected PIH spot. • Changes in the measurement (L star, a star and b star) of the selected PIH spot, the adjacent skin and one untreated and non-exposed zone (at the top of the buttock) using Spectrophotometer (CM- 26d or CM-2600d).Timepoint: at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 13, week 14 and week 15 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the efficacy of the investigational product by assessing the following parameters: • Standard facial imaging using VISIA-CR (Standard 1, Standard 2/Raked, Cross-Polarized & Parallel- Polarized) done at D0, D28, D56 & D84 for further analysis. • Changes in the response of Self Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ) for product efficacy & suitability at timepoints respectively D0 (Timm), D7, D14, D28, D56, D84, D91, D98 & D105. • Safety assessment of investigational product by total number of SAE, AE, LI reported throughout the study.Timepoint: at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 13, week 14 & week 15 | — |
