Powerful inflammatory lesion reductions
Dr. Linda Stein Gold Discusses SOOLANTRA® (ivermectin) Cream, 1% Clinical Data
Dr. Linda Stein Gold is a Galderma consultant and a clinical investigator for the phase 3 efficacy and safety trials of SOOLANTRA Cream in patients with inflammatory lesions of rosacea.
In this video, Dr. Stein Gold reviews the study design and clinical data comparing SOOLANTRA Cream vs vehicle at Week 12, as well as, the 40-week extension safety study comparing SOOLANTRA Cream QD vs azelaic acid 15% gel BID.

A closer look at the IGA scale





Numerous small and/or large papules/pustules, severe erythema*
Several small or large papules/pustules, moderate erythema*
Few small papules/pustules, mild erythema*
Very few small papule/pustules, very mild erythema present*
No inflammatory lesions present, no erythema*

Significant and Continuous Improvements Observed From Week 4 Through Week 123,4

Rapid and Dramatic Reduction in Inflammatory Lesion Count4

- Mean inflammatory lesion count reduction at week 12 was –20.5 (–64.9%) with SOOLANTRA Cream vs –12.0 (–41.6%) with vehicle (P<0.001)2
- Mean inflammatory lesion count at baseline was 31 in both groups2
- Significant inflammatory lesion count reductions continued throughout the entirety of the 12-week trial2
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≤ 1%) included skin burning sensation and skin irritation.
Study Design
A phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 12-week, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study assessing the efficacy and safety of SOOLANTRA Cream once daily in 683 subjects with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea (IGA score of 3 or 4), followed by a 40-week, investigator-blinded extension coparing the long-tern safety of SOOLANTRA Cream once daily with azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily in 622 subjects.
The efficacy and safety of SOOLANTRA Cream once daily was evaluated in subjects aged ≥18 years in 2 identically designed phase 3 clinical trials (N=1371). Final results were comparable between the 2 studies with the least favorable results presented here.

A greater percentage of subjects on vehicle/azelaic acid had treatment related AEs vs subjects using SOOLANTRA Cream
No severe or serious AEs were considered related to SOOLANTRA Cream or A2A. Five subjects in SOOLANTRA Cream group and 4 subjects in the AzA group discontinued from the study due to an AE during Part B. None of the AEs that led to discontinuation in the SOOLANTRA Cream group were considered related to SOOLANTRA Cream
*A Subject was counted once even if the subject experienced more than 1 AE during the study
