STUDY DESIGN3

The safety and efficacy of EPSOLAY cream was evaluated in 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials in patients with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea. In Pivotal Trial 1, 243 patients used EPSOLAY cream and 118 used vehicle cream. In Pivotal Trial 2, 250 patients used EPSOLAY cream and 122 used vehicle cream.

Patients were treated once daily for 12 weeks with either EPSOLAY cream or vehicle cream.

Patients were required to have a minimum of 15 to 70 total inflammatory lesions (papules and/or pustules) and no more than 2 nodules (where a nodule was defined as a papule or pustule greater than 5 mm in diameter) and an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe) at baseline.

At baseline, patients had a mean inflammatory lesion count of 27.5, 89% were scored as moderate (IGA=3), and 11% scored as severe (IGA=4).

The coprimary efficacy endpoints in both trials were the proportion of patients with treatment success at Week 12, defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a 2-grade reduction from baseline, and the absolute change from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts at Week 12.

STUDY DESIGN4

The long-term safety and tolerability of daily use of EPSOLAY cream were evaluated in an open-label, long-term safety study in papulopustular rosacea patients from the 2 double-blind pivotal trials. A total of 547 patients were enrolled, including 363 patients previously treated with EPSOLAY cream and 184 patients previously treated with vehicle cream.

Patients were treated with EPSOLAY cream once daily from baseline through Week 40 with an IGA score for rosacea assessed as mild, moderate, or severe. If a patient was assessed as clear or almost clear, patients were not dispensed the study product until relapse was assessed.

Patients were required to have completed 12 weeks or be within the Week 12 window time (±4 days) of the double-blind treatment period of the pivotal trials and missed not more than 1 visit of Visits 3, 4, or 5 in the pivotal trials.

At baseline, patients had a mean inflammatory lesion count of 28.4, 89.2% were scored as moderate (IGA=3), and 10.8% were scored as severe (IGA=4).

Safety was evaluated by monitoring adverse events, cutaneous safety (dryness and scaling), and local tolerability (itching and burning/stinging) assessments, physical examinations, and vital signs. The study was not intended to assess efficacy. Certain efficacy data and endpoints were, however, summarized.
