Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of a new foam formulation of tazarotene in subjects with acne vulgaris.
Detailed description
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study comparing tazarotene foam with vehicle foam in subjects with acne vulgaris. Approximately 742 subjects will be enrolled and randomized to 1 of the 2 study product groups in a 1:1 ratio (tazarotene foam: vehicle foam). Subjects will apply tazarotene foam or vehicle foam to the entire face once daily for 12 weeks; study visits will occur at baseline (week 0/day 1) and at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12.
Interventions
Tazarotene foam once a day application to the face
Vehicle Foam once a day application to the face

Between 25 and 50 facial inflammatory lesions and no more than 1 facial nodular lesion (\<5mm), with NO cystic lesions. 2. Between 30 and 125 facial noninflammatory lesions, excluding nasal lesions. * Regular menstrual cycle prior to study entry for females of childbearing potential. * Negative urine pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential. • Sexually active females of childbearing potential participating in the study must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception while receiving protocol-assigned product. A woman of childbearing potential is defined as one who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant; including perimenopausal women who are less than 2 years from their last menses. Women who are not currently sexually active must agree to use medically accepted method of contraception should they become sexually active while participating in the study. Male subjects and/or their partners must use a medically acceptable form of contraception. * Capable of understanding and willing to provide signed and dated written voluntary informed consent before any protocol specific procedures are performed. * Ability and willingness to follow all study procedures, attend all scheduled visits, and successfully complete the study.
Exclusion criteria
* Female who is pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding. * Use of topical antibiotics on the face within the past 2 weeks. * Use of systemic antibiotics for acne treatment within the past 4 weeks. * Concurrent use of medications known to be photosensitizers (eg, thiazides, tetracyclines) because of the possibility of augmented photosensitivity. * Use of topical corticosteroids on the face within the past 2 weeks or systemic corticosteroids within the past 4 weeks. * Use of systemic retinoids (eg, isotretinoin) within the past 6 months. * Treatment with estrogens, androgens, or anti-androgenic agents for 12 weeks or less immediately prior to study enrollment.

Change in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) From Baseline at Week 2, 4, 8 and 12 in Participant's With 16 Years Old or Younger
The CDLQI was used to measure how much the participants' skin problem had affected their life over the last week. The CDLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30: 0-1=no effect at all on the participant's life; 2-6=small effect on the participant's life; 7-12=moderate effect on the participant's life; 13-18=very large effect on the participant's life; 19-30=extremely large effect on the participant's life. A lower score on the CDLQI indicates increased quality of life; therefore, negative changes from Baseline indicate improvements.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1); Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12
Population: ITT Analysis Set: only those participants 16 years of age or younger and whose CDLQI scores were calculated at Baseline and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, or 12 were evaluated for change in DLQI score at the respective week.

The DLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30: 0-1=no effect at all on the participant's life; 2-5=small effect on the participant's life; 6-10=moderate effect on the participant's life; 11-20=very large effect on the participant's life; 21-30=extremely large effect on the participant's life. A lower score on the DLQI indicates increased quality of life; therefore, negative changes from Baseline indicate improvements.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1); Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12
Population: ITT Analysis Set: only those participants 17 years of age or older and whose DLQI scores were calculated at Baseline and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, or 12 were evaluated for change in DLQI score at the respective week.

Number of Participants With the Indicated Local Tolerability Assessment for Peeling as Evaluated by the Investigator
Peeling skin: damage to and loss of the upper layer of skin (epidermis). Local tolerability assessments for peeling were performed by the Investigator at each study visit and were graded based on severity as G0 to G4: G0=absent (no peeling); G1=slight (mild localized peeling); G2=mild (mild and diffuse peeling); G3=moderate (moderate and diffuse peeling); G4=severe (moderate to prominent, dense peeling). Maximum During Treatment is defined as the maximum severity of peeling reported at any time during treatment.

Percent Change in LC From Baseline at Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12
LC: count of all ILs (i.e., papules, pustules, and nodules) and NILs (i.e., open and closed comedones) at Baseline and at Week 12. TLs were calculated as the sum of ILs and NILs. LC was confined to the face (including forehead, nose, checks, and chin). Percent change from Baseline in LC at Weeks 2, 4, 8, and12 was calculated as the (Week 2/4/8/12 value minus the baseline value divided by baseline value) x 100.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0/Day 1); Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12
Population: ITT Analysis Set. The LOCF imputation method was used for missing data.
