Brief Summary

Benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin and tazarotene are known to be effective treatment alternative for acne vulgaris. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination product including these actives for the treatment of acne vulgaris. You may be suitable to take part in this study because you have acne vulgaris on your face. Acne vulgaris usually affects the face, but it can also affect the skin on the chest, arms, legs, and back.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Absolute Change in Lesion Counts (Total, Inflammatory, and Non-inflammatory) From Baseline to Week 12

    The investigator or designee took count of inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, nodules and cysts \[only post-Baseline\]) (ILC), noninflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones) (NILC) and total lesions (TLC) at Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. Lesion counts were confined to the face. Each of 3 lesion counts (total, inflammatory and non-inflammatory) was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with terms for treatment, center, Baseline value and treatment-by-center interaction. If the interaction was not significant at 0.1 level, this interaction was excluded in ANCOVA model. Day 1 (Visit 1) was defined as Baseline. Only participants available at specified timepoints were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).

    Baseline and up to Week 12

  • Proportion of Participants With a Minimum 2-grade Improvement in the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) Score From Baseline to Week 12

    An ISGA was obtained at Baseline and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. The scores range from 0-5 (0=clear skin with no inflammatory or non-inflammatory lesions; 5=very severe with many non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesions and more than a few nodular lesions (may have cystic lesions). The higher score indicates more severe. The area considered for the ISGA was confined to the face. When possible, the same efficacy assessor performed all ISGA assessments on the same participant at all visits. Day 1 (Visit 1) was defined as Baseline. Only participants available at specified time points were analyzed.

    Baseline and up to Week 12

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Each of 3 Lesion Counts (Total, Inflammatory, and Non-inflammatory)

    Baseline and up to Week 12

  • Proportion of Participants With an ISGA Score of 0 or 1 at Week 12
