Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that CD5024 1% cream is more effective than its vehicle when applied once daily, at bed time, during a 12 week period in subjects with Papulopustular Rosacea (PPR) and continues to be safe up to 12 months.

Inclusion criteria

1. The subject has papulopustular rosacea with an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score rated 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe), 2. The subject has at least 15 but not more than 70 inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) on the face.

Exclusion criteria

1. The subject has particular forms of rosacea (rosacea conglobata, rosacea fulminans, isolated rhinophyma, isolated pustulosis of the chin) or other facial dermatoses that may be confounded with papulopustular rosacea, such as peri oral dermatitis, facial keratosis pilaris, seborrheic dermatitis, and acne, 2. The subject has rosacea with more than two nodules on the face.

Evaluation of papulopustular rosacea will be performed by the investigator based on the following 5 point scale: Clear = 0 (No inflammatory lesions present, no erythema); Almost Clear = 1 (Very few small papules/pustules, very mild erythema present); Mild = 2 (Few small papules/pustules, mild erythema); Moderate = 3 (Several small or large papules/pustules, moderate erythema); Severe = 4 (Numerous small and/or large papules/pustules, severe erythema)
