papulopustular rosacea
Brief summary
To assess the efficacy and safety of S5G4T-1 compared to its vehicle when applied once daily for 12 weeks in participants with papulopustular rosacea.
Detailed description
In this Phase 3, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group pivotal study, participants will be admitted only after a written informed consent has been obtained and after all inclusion/exclusion criteria have been met. Male and female participants at least 18 years of age with moderate or severe papulopustular rosacea will be eligible for enrollment for daily treatment with S5G4T-1 or its vehicle for 12 weeks.

Least squares means and standard deviations from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with factors of treatment, analysis center and treatment by analysis center interaction and the Baseline lesion count as a covariate. Negative least squares means values represent decrease from Baseline. |

Outcome results
Primary
Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Counts at Week 12
Inflammatory lesions were characterized as papules and pustules. A papule was defined as a solid, elevated inflammatory lesion equal to or less than 5 mm in diameter. A pustule was defined as an elevated inflammatory lesion equal to or less than 5 mm in diameter and contains pus (yellow-white exudate). Least squares means and standard deviations from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with factors of treatment, analysis center and treatment by analysis center interaction and the Baseline lesion count as a covariate. Negative least squares means values represent decrease from Baseline.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Population: The ITT population consisted of all randomized participants who were dispensed study drug. MCMC was used to impute missing values.
| Arm | Measure | Value (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| S5G4T-1 | Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Counts at Week 12 | -17.4 Inflammatory Lesions | Standard Deviation 9.3 |
| S5G4T-2 Vehicle Cream | Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion Counts at Week 12 | -9.5 Inflammatory Lesions | Standard Deviation 9.45 |

Percentage of Participants Achieving an IGA Score of Clear or Almost Clear From Baseline at Week 12
Percentage of participants in each treatment group achieving an acne severity IGA score of clear (score=0) or almost clear (score=1).
Time frame: Baseline through Week 12
Population: The ITT population consisted of all randomized participants who were dispensed study drug. Multiple imputation (Markov Chain Monte Carlo \[MCMC\]) was used to impute missing values.
