A Study (Study 1) to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of FMX103 1.5% Topical Minocycline Foam in the Treatment of Facial Papulopustular Rosacea
Condition: Facial Papulopustular Rosacea
MeSH terms: Rosacea; Facies
Intervention: FMX103 minocycline foam 1.5%; Vehicle foam
Intervention description: Dosage form description: Foam containing minocycline HCl 1.5%. Once daily application of a sufficient amount of foam to cover the entire face. Estimated maximum is 0.5 g of drug product containing 7.5 mg (1.5% active) of minocycline. Participants will apply a small amount of the drug as a thin layer over all areas of the face. Participants should apply the drug at approximately the same time each day, about 1 hour before bedtime.; Dosage form description: Foam containing minocycline vehicle foam. Once daily application of a sufficient amount of foam to cover the entire face. Estimated maximum is 0.5 g of drug product containing 0.0 mg (vehicle) of minocycline.

Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional
Primary purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
Masking description: This is a double-blind study, with limited access to the randomization code. The randomization code will be held in confidence until after the study database is locked and a memo documenting the database lock has been issued.
