Brief summary

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)

Detailed description

This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 2 arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy over 12 weeks of FMX101 topical foam containing 4% minocycline compared to vehicle in the treatment of subjects with moderate-to-severe facial acne vulgaris. Qualified subjects will be randomized to receive 1 of the following 2 treatments: * FMX101 4% minocycline foam * Vehicle foam

No more than 2 nodules on the face 4. IGA score of moderate (3) to severe (4) 2. Willing to use only the supplied non-medicated cleanser (Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser) and to refrain from use of any other acne medication, medicated cleanser, excessive sun exposure, and tanning booths for the duration of the study.

Exclusion criteria
