View clinical trials related to Acne Vulgaris.
Filter by:Acne vulgaris is a frequent inflammatory skin condition involving the pilosebaceous unit and affecting more than 80% of teenagers. Mild to moderate acne vulgaris is usually treated with topical agents such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids and antibiotics. These treatments can be associated with local tolerance problems and/or antibiotic resistance. Salicylic acid has been shown to be an effective treatment for acne. LHA is a lipophilic hydroxy acid derivative of salicylic acid that has comedolytic and antibacterial properties. The objective of this trial was to compare the efficacy and tolerance of a cream formulation containing 0.3% LHA (LHA formulation) to a 5% benzoyl peroxide gel.
The purpose of this research project is to study the effect of non-ablative (non-cutting) laser therapy, a technique that uses laser energy to try to improve the appearance of the skin. This type of laser treatment creates changes in a layer of the skin called the dermis without causing an open wound in the skin. The use of non-ablative laser therapy, together with application of a photo-sensitizer (substance that makes the skin more sensitive to light), may improve the appearance of acne. The idea behind the photo-sensitizer is that it is supposed to make the laser more effective than using just the laser alone. It is not yet clear how much improvement can be seen with these treatments or exactly how the skin's response causes these improvements. In this study, we are interested in learning how well such a laser works to improve the symptoms of acne, as well as how much the photo-sensitizer actually enhances the efficacy of the laser. The photo-sensitizing agent (Levulan Kerastick) and the non-ablative laser (LumaCare LC-122M non-coherent (multiple wavelengths) light source from LumaCare® Medical Products) are both FDA-approved. The Levulan Kerastick is approved for the treatment of another skin disease, not acne.
Randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week study to assess the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of an oral formulation of Doxycycline oral tablets using the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score and the absolute change from baseline in inflammatory lesion count in patients with moderate to severe facial acne vulgaris. Additionally, the absolute change from baseline in non-inflammatory and total lesions of the active study medication to placebo will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Adapalene, 0.1% is safe and effective in the treatment of Acne Vulgaris.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Adapalene, 0.1% is safe and effective in the treatment of Acne Vulgaris.
This multicenter study will be divided into 2 phases. The first phase will be an open label, dose-escalation phase, while the second will be a blinded, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group, dose-response phase. The second phase will only start if the first phase succeeds in establishing well tolerated dose(s). Patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris in the face will be included.The results from part 2 has been presented in the result section.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a benzoyl peroxide 2.5% cream formulation plus a moisturizing lotion versus benzoyl peroxide 2.5% cream alone for the treatment of acne vulgaris.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if topical ASC-J9 cream is effective in treating acne.
To evaluate efficacy and adverse effect from long-pulsed dye laser versus long-pulsed dye laser-mediated photodynamic therapy for acne vulgaris and rosacea.
To determine the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks of treatment with Differin Gel, 0.1% compared to 12 weeks of treatment with Tazorac Cream, 0.1% and compared to 6 weeks treatment with Differin Gel, 0.1% followed by 6 weeks of treatment with Tazorac Cream
