NCT02601963

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, FMX-103, is safe to give and if it helps people with moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea. The investigational product is FMX-103 minocycline foam. Two concentrations of the investigational product, 1.5% and 3%, will be studied along with vehicle. The foam will be applied once daily to the face for the 12-week treatment duration of the study. Approximately 210 patients will participate in this study.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Participants age is 18 years or older.
  • Participants have a moderate-to-severe rosacea excluding lesions involving the eyes and scalp.
  • Subject must have diagnosed rosacea for at least 6 months prior to screening.

You may not qualify if:

  • Women of child bearing potential who are pregnant, lactating (in the last 3 months) or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
  • Moderate or severe rhinophyma, dense telangiectasis (score 3, severe), or plaque- like facial edema.
  • Rosacea conglobata or fulminans, corticosteroid-induced rosacea or isolated pustulosis of the chin, facial erythrosis of known origin other than rosacea (e.g., known carcinoid syndrome).
  • Ocular rosacea (e.g., conjunctivitis, blepharitis, or keratitis) of sufficient severity to require topical ophthalmic or systemic antibiotics, papulopustular rosacea that requires medically indicated systemic treatment.
  • Bacterial folliculitis.
