Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, single-blinded (investigator's blinded), active-controlled (clindamycin [CLDM] 1% gel), parallel-group study in Japanese subjects with acne vulgaris to demonstrate the efficacy of GSK2585823 (CLDM 1%-benzoyl peroxide [BPO] 3% gel) when applied once or twice daily for 12 weeks. This study will also evaluate the safety of GSK2585823 when applied topically either once or twice daily for 12 weeks.

Description:

Main inclusion criteria will be 12 to 45 years of age, who have an Investigator Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score of 2 or greater at baseline visit, and have both 17 to 60 facial inflammatory lesions (papules plus pustules) and 20 to 150 facial non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), including nasal lesions. The primary objectives are to demonstrate the superiority of GSK2585823 twice daily to CLDM twice daily in total lesion counts, and to demonstrate the non-inferiority of GSK2585823 once daily to CLDM twice daily in total lesion counts. The secondary objectives are to demonstrate the non-inferiority of GSK2585823 once daily to CLDM twice daily in inflammatory lesion counts, and to evaluate the efficacy of GSK2585823 once or twice daily compared with CLDM twice daily at each visit. A total of 800 subjects will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of the groups.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Total Lesion Counts.	The investigator (or subinvestigator) counted all inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodular lesions) and non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones) on the face at each study visit. An open comedone was an open, widely dilated follicle with black-colored sebum, due to melanin and oxidation, and keratinous material that forms a plug, thereby obstructing the pilosebaceous duct. A closed comedone was a closed follicle filled with impacted sebum covered by keratin that has a whitish color. A papule was a small, raised, red, dome-shaped palpable lesion. A pustule was a raised, dome-shaped palpable lesion containing yellow fluid (pus). A nodule might be a raised or deep-seated, dome-shaped palpable lesion of at least 5 millimeters in diameter. Day 1 was Baseline and change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from post-randomization value at Week 12.	Baseline (Day 1) and Week 12
Secondary	Absolute Change From Baseline to Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8 in Total Lesion Counts	The investigator (or subinvestigator) counted all inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodular lesions) and non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones) on the face at each study visit. An open comedone was an open, widely dilated follicle with black-colored sebum, due to melanin and oxidation, and keratinous material that forms a plug, thereby obstructing the pilosebaceous duct. A closed comedone was a closed follicle filled with impacted sebum covered by keratin that has a whitish color. A papule was a small, raised, red, dome-shaped palpable lesion. A pustule was a raised, dome-shaped palpable lesion containing yellow fluid (pus). A nodule might be a raised or deep-seated, dome-shaped palpable lesion of at least 5 millimeters in diameter. Day 1 was Baseline and change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from value at indicated time points.	Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8

Secondary	Percent Change From Baseline to Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 in Total, Inflammatory, and Non- Inflammatory Lesion Counts	The investigator (or subinvestigator) counted all inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodular lesions) and non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones) on the face at each study visit. An open comedone was an open, widely dilated follicle with black-colored sebum, due to melanin and oxidation, and keratinous material that forms a plug, thereby obstructing the pilosebaceous duct.

Secondary	Percentage of Participants With a Minimum 2-grade Improvement From Baseline to Week 12 in Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) Score	Proportion of participants with at least a 2-Grade Improvement in ISGA was reported using a 5 point scale which indicates Score 0 (Clear): skin with no inflammatory or non-inflammatory lesions, Score 1 (Almost Clear): rare non-inflammatory lesions with no more than rare papules, Score 2 (Mild): greater than Grade 1, some non-inflammatory lesions with no more than a few inflammatory lesions (papules/pustules only, no nodular lesions), Score 3 (Moderate): greater than Grade 2, many non-inflammatory lesions and may have some inflammatory lesions, but no more than one small nodular lesion, Score 4 (Severe): greater than Grade 3, many non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesions, but no more than a few nodular lesions and 5(very severe): many non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesions and more than a few nodular lesions.

Baseline (Day 1) and Week 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12
Secondary	Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of Clinical Isolates to Antibiotics CLDM and Nadifloxacin (NDFX)	MIC50 = minimum inhibitory concentration (minimum concentration of an agent that inhibits 50% of isolates from a particular organism). MIC90 = minimum inhibitory concentration (minimum concentration of an agent that inhibits 90% of isolates from a particular organism) for the susceptibility of clinical isolates (Propionibacterium acnes before and after application of the CLDM and NDFX was reported. MIC50 and MIC90 values are single measurements for the entire population and not measured on a per-participant basis.	Baseline (Day 1) and Week12
Secondary	Change in Investigator Assessment of Tolerability (Erythema, Dryness and Peeling) From Baseline to Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 8 and 12	Erythema (redness), dryness, and peeling, were evaluated independently by the investigator on a five point scale from 0 to 4 defined as 0-none, 1-very minimal, 2-mild, 3-moderate, 4-severe. Day 1 was Baseline and Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from value at specified time points (Week 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12).	Baseline (Day 1) and Week 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12
Secondary	Change in Participant Assessment of Tolerability ( Itching and Burning/Stinging ) From Baseline to Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12	Burning/stinging, itching were evaluated independently by the participant on a five point scale from 0 to 4 defined as 0-none, 1-very minimal, 2-mild, 3-moderate, 4-severe. Day 1 was Baseline and Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from value at specified time points (Week 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12).	Baseline (Day 1) and Week 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12
