Registered outcomes2

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Inflammatory (Papules and Pustules) Lesion Counts.Baseline to Week 12Percent change from baseline to Week 12 in the inflammatory (papules and pustules) lesion counts in PP population.
SecondaryThe Percentage of Subjects With a Clinical Response of "Success" at Week 12 Using Investigator Global Evaluation (IGE)Baseline to 12 weeks
The secondary endpoint is the clinical response of "success" or "failure" at Week 12 on the IGE. Success is defined as an IGE score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Any subject who is not considered to be a success will be considered to be a failure. Score-Grade-Definition 0 - Clear - No inflammatory lesions present; at most, mild erythema. 1. \- Almost Clear - Very mild erythema present. Very few small papules/pustules. 2. \- Mild - Mild erythema. Several small papules/pustules. 3. \- Moderate - Moderate erythema. Several small or large papules/pustules, and up to two nodules. 4. \- Severe - Severe erythema. Numerous small and/or large papules/pustules, up to several nodules.
