Filter by:Acne scar is a common complication of acne vulgaris (AV). Early and effective treatment of AV has a crucial role in managing both acne and acne scarring. Oral isotretinoin (OI) is a widely preferred agent in treating moderate and severe AV worldwide. It has been shown that topical retinoids can also be effective in the treatment of atrophic acne scars. However, there is no study in the literature evaluating the effectiveness of OI protocol on atrophic scars with objective data. With the developing sonoelastography technology in recent years, a quantitative, objective, and reliable examination of the elasticity of the skin and subcutaneous tissue can be provided. In this study, for a detailed and objective evaluation of the effects of OI on atrophic acne scars, we investigate the AV severity, atrophic scar grade, scar size (SS), dermis and subcutaneous tissue thickness (STT), and changes in scar and subcutaneous tissue elastic modulus (EM) in moderate and severe AV patients with atrophic acne scars by clinical observation and SWE. Materials and Methods: It was designed as a single-center, prospective and observational study. Ethics committee approval was obtained. Thirty patients who applied to the Istanbul Training and Research Hospital, Dermatology Department, between November 2021 and January 2022 diagnosed with moderate and severe AV accompanied by atrophic acne scars were included in the study. Demographic characteristics of the patients were recorded. We started the OI with a standard dose regime. On days 0 and 90 of treatment, each patient's AV and scar severity; were evaluated with the global acne grading system (GAGS) and the Goodman and Baron Qualitative Global Scar Rating System (GSRS). On the same days, the dermal thickness (DT), STT, SS, scar, and subcutaneous tissue EM on the right and left cheeks were measured by the same experienced radiologist with SWE. Appropriate statistical methods analyzed the results.
Antibiotic resistance is a public health problem that worsens the more physicians prescribe standard dose antibiotics for acne. Regardless of race, acne vulgaris is one of the most common dermatologic conditions among pediatric populations. As such, clinicians can make a large impact by practicing good antibiotic stewardship while still addressing the impact of acne on adolescents' self-esteem. Subantimicrobial doxycycline maintains its anti-inflammatory effects while eliminating antimicrobial properties and associated risks of drug resistance. Few studies, focused primarily on adults, have shown that subantimicrobial doxycycline is efficacious in treating acne from a physician standpoint. The investigators aim to investigate the patient experience of acne treatment with subantimicrobial dose doxycycline in the pediatric population.
Vitamin D plays a pivotal but still not well understood role in the immune response to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection and vaccination. Many studies also showed a high negative correlation between the severity of inflammatory disease and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Patients with acne vulgaris often had deteriorated skin condition after COVID-19 vaccination. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship of COVID-19 vaccination with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and severity of acne vulgaris.
Open-label, non-randomized, prospective, multi-center, self-controlled clinical study with masked evaluation.
The Research Question of the present study is the following: in a population of men and women affected by acne vulgaris, and folliculitis, will Ialuxid® Gel (hydrogen peroxide, hyaluronic acid and glycine) improve the course of the disease, resulting in a decrease of the total number of lesions, results observed after 4 and 8 weeks after the beginning of the treatment?
Objective: Clinical trial carried out to evaluate the superiority of efficacy of a treatment regimen with an oral probiotic associated with a fixed combination of 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide compared to an oral placebo with the same topical treatment in patients with mild to moderate acne. Patients and Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted with 212 patients aged from 12 to 35 years; 107 in the test treatment arm and 105 in the comparator arm. The study was divided into two phases of 90 days each, totaling 180 days. In the first phase, patients received treatment with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and 0.1% adapalene associated with a probiotic (IT), or 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and 0.1% adapalene associated with placebo (CT). In the second phase (90 days), patients received only oral treatment with a probiotic or placebo. Efficacy criteria were: reduction of the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale to 0 or 1, and reduced lesion count.
Acne vulgaris, or acne, is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, with skin conditions being one of the top causes of years lived with disability and non-fatal disease burden. Despite being one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, the most widely used treatments in acne have changed little in the past 30 years. To date there is still no effective treatment that can prevent and cure this disease. The currently available acne therapies have been discovered several decades ago, and almost no progress was made in developments of novel, breakthrough treatment approaches. The present randomized, placebo-controlled, dose escalation, Phase 1 trial (ORI-101-PAC) is intended to investigate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of an acne vulgaris vaccine (ORI-A-ce001) at three different dose levels in subjects aged ≥18 years suffering from moderate facial acne vulgaris who are otherwise healthy. The present study will also generate preliminary data on efficacy (inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesion counts, acne severity), immunogenicity and functionality of the vaccine, as well as a possible impact on skin microbiome composition. Control groups receiving placebo are included. Data from this trial will be used to inform the design of future studies.
This is a phase2, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, multi-dose and placebo parallel controlled design. The subjects in the study group were given double-blind drugs, and they were taken (orally) after dinner every day according to the requirements of clinical trial scheme.
Acne Vulgaris is one of the most common dermatologic diagnoses requiring long-term maintenance therapy. Promising results of oral zinc gluconate in improving acne vulgaris has been described. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was utilized for this study with the objective to assess the efficacy of oral zinc gluconate in the improvement of disease activity in acne vulgaris patients as measured by the inflammatory score and Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) score.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of a gentle facial cleanser in participants with sensitive skin (eczema/atopic dermatitis, rosacea, acne, cosmetic intolerance syndrome).
