Study results from the second period (Study 2),a 40-week extension comparing SOOLANTRA Cream once daily (n=412) with azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily following treatment with vehicle cream once daily (n=210) for 12 weeks (Study 1)

Percentage of subjects with an IGA score of 0 or 1 (clear or almost clear)

aThe pivotal trial was divided into 2 periods: Study 1 (12 weeks) and Study 2 (40 weeks). In Part A, SOOLANTRA Cream once daily (n=451) was compared with vehicle cream once daily (n=232) for efficacy and safety. In Study 2, SOOLANTRA Cream once daily (n=412) was compared with azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily (n=210) to assess long-term safety.7,9

Subjects who completed Study’s 1 (N=622) and 2 (N=526) received SOOLANTRA Cream once daily for a total of 52 weeks (active treatment group) or vehicle cream once daily for 12 weeks followed by azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily for 40 weeks (control group). Efficacy was not a study endpoint for Study 2.8,9

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 comparing the long-term safety of SOOLANTRA Cream once daily with azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily in 622 subjects.7,9

IGA=Investigator’s Global Assessment.

The efficacy and safety of SOOLANTRA Cream were evaluated in subjects aged 18 years and older in 2 identically designed phase 3 clinical trials (N=1371). Final results were comparable between the 2 studies, with the least favorable results at Week 52 presented here.7,9

Knowing there is an innovative treatment available to keep my rosacea bumps and blemishes under control is really encouraging and exciting
