Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Biopsy proven reduction in size of sebaceous glands at the end of 12 weeks of treatment compared to the baseline.

We will perform both a paired and pooled statistical analysis. We will conduct a power analysis to determine statistical significance. For the paired analysis, we will calculate the average gland size per patient at baseline and again at the end of the treatment period from all the individual's biopsy sites. We will then calculate the percent reduction of sebaceous gland size between the two average sizes. Finally, we will calculate the average percent change across all participants. For the pooled analysis, we will calculate the average sebaceous gland size across all study participants before and after treatment. We will use these two values to calculate the percent change. We anticipate that the paired analysis will yield more meaningful results as the pooled analysis may not show significant change due to the variations between study participants used to calculate the averages.

Time frame
From enrollment to end of treatment at 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Evaluation of safety and adverse events

We plan to calculate the incidence of adverse events. Study participants will be instructed to keep a log of all adverse events.

Time frame
From enrollment to end of treatment at 12 weeks

Physician and study participants reported assessments at the end of the treatment compared to baseline

A modified, succinct version of the Rosacea clinical scorecard as proposed by the Report of the National Rosacea Society Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of sRosacea will be used to assess these measures. Physicians and study participants will be asked to grade the rosacea at baseline and at the end of the treatment based on the following scale: * Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic: 1=Absent, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe * Subtype 2: Papulopustular: 1=Absent, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe * Subtype 3: Phymatous: 1=Absent, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe * Global Assessment: 1=Absent, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe

Time frame
From enrollment to end of treatment at 12 weeks
