BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
1.1 
Medical background and short rationale for the clinical trial 
Acne is one of the most common skin disorders treated by dermatologists. While acne is highly 
prevalent in youth with around 85% of teenagers affected at some point in time.1  In European 
populations over 70–80 % of all males will experience acne in some point of their lifetime. In the 
USA, acne has been reported to affect an estimated number of over 25 (17–45) million Americans.2 
As acne is a chronic and relapsing disease, normalizing follicular desquamation is then the key to 
achieve and maintain control of acne. It can persist for years and result in disfigurement and 
permanent scarring, and may have serious adverse effects on psychosocial development, resulting 
in emotional problems, withdrawal from society, and depression.3 Teenagers with even mild acne 
feel stigmatized and frustrated.4 Today it is established that retinoids acts in the pathology of acne 
vulgaris: it is a potent modulator of cellular differentiation and keratinisation. Topical retinoids 
have been the first-line treatment for most forms of acne vulgaris.5 
Acne is a multifactorial inflammatory disease affecting pilosebaceous follicles.6, 7, 2 Both clinically 
and pathophysiologically, truncal acne and facial acne are similar in terms of specific lesions (eg, 
closed comedones, open comedones, papules and pustules etc.). Further, the management of 
truncal acne vulgaris warrants an approach similar to what is used for the treatment of facial acne8. 
Truncal acne has been estimated to occur in over half the number of acne patients even if facial 
acne is the most common and often the most visible form of acne. In one study of patients referred 
to a dermatology clinic, it was found more than 60 percent of individuals had back acne 9. In 
another cohort of 696 patients, half of patients with facial acne were found to have coexistent 
truncal involvement. Approximately 50% of patients who presented with acne vulgaris 
demonstrated involvement on the chest and/or back, with more than 3% presenting with truncal 
acne lesions alone. Interestingly, approximately 1 out of 4 patients who presented with both facial 
and truncal acne involvement did not voluntarily mention the presence of truncal acne as part of 
their presenting complaint. In such cases, the presence of truncal acne lesions was detected by 
clinical examination. The majority of patients presenting with truncal acne vulgaris exhibited mild 
to moderate severity and more than 75% were interested in treatment for truncal acne lesions. 10 
Trifarotene, a new generation topical retinoid with its unique mechanism of action, binds to 
specific retinoic acid receptor (RAR-ɤ).11 Current evidence suggests that topical Trifarotene 
normalizes the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells resulting in decreased microcomedone 
formation. It may be an ideal topical agent with high selectivity towards gamma receptors, skin 
metabolism and with very low systemic absorption for management of acne treatment. Currently 
under clinical development with studies in acne vulgaris of face and trunk. However, it is also 
important in terms of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) to assess satisfaction that might be caused 
by the treatment or by acne itself and to also assess the local tolerability.  
Proper skin care is considered to be an important component of the total management plan for 
patients with acne vulgaris. There are several ways to mitigate adverse effect and prevent further 
worsening of skin tolerability. These include initiating patients on lower concentrations of topical 
retinoids, choosing cream or lotion (rather than gel). Trifarotene, being a highly selective RAR-ɤ

According to ICH E2A, an AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical 
investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have 
a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended 
sign (including an abnormal laboratory value), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the 
use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal 
(investigational) product. 
Thus any new sign, symptom or disease, or any clinically significant worsening of an existing sign, 
symptom or disease compared to the condition at the first visit (including disease treated), should 
be considered as an AE. Lack of efficacy is not considered as an AE. 
Each new episode of a chronic disease (e.g., hay fever, allergy, etc.) should be reported as 
a new AE. 
Notes: 
 Any new sign or symptom reported by the subject that appears after accidental or intentional 
overdose or misuse should also be reported as an AE. 
 There should be an attempt to report a diagnosis rather than the signs, symptoms or abnormal 
laboratory values associated with the report of an AE. However, a diagnosis should be reported 
only if, in the Investigator’s judgment, it is relatively certain. Otherwise, symptoms, signs, or 
laboratory values should be used to describe the AE. 
 Pregnancy is not to be considered as an AE; however, is an important medical event that must 
be monitored as described in Section 7.2.2.2.5. 
7.2.2.1.2 
Serious Adverse events  
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
 Results in death, 
 Is life-threatening, 
 Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 
 Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or 
 Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization 
may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize 
the safety of the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency 
room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasia, or convulsions that do not result in 
hospitalization.

The Sponsor should be informed if the Investigator becomes aware of any unusual safety 
information or any safety information that appears to be drug-related involving a subject who has 
participated in a clinical trial, even after a subject has completed the clinical trial. The Investigator 
should be diligent in looking for possible latent safety effects that may not appear until a 
medication has been discontinued. 
7.2.2.1.6 
Severity 
Severity is a clinical determination of the intensity of an AE and not of a disease. 
The Investigator is to classify the intensity of AEs using the following definitions as a guideline 
for all AEs occurring during clinical trials conducted or sponsored by GALDERMA. For this 
classification, the Investigator will take into account the possible range of the intensity of the event 
and report the grade of intensity which is the most appropriate according his medical judgment. 
Mild 
Awareness of signs or symptom, but easily tolerated. 
Moderate 
Discomfort, enough to cause interference with usual activity 
Severe 
Incapacitating with inability to work or perform usual activity 
7.2.2.1.7 
Relationship to the study drug 
The Investigator is to determine whether there is a reasonable causal relationship between the study 
drug and the AE. Medical judgment should be used to determine the relationship, considering all 
relevant factors including the pattern of reaction, temporal relationships, positive challenge or 
rechallenge, relevant medical history, and confounding factors such as co-medication or 
concurrent diseases. 
The expression “reasonable causal relationship” is meant to convey in general that there are facts 
or arguments to suggest a causal relationship (ICH E2A, Section IIIA 1). 
The relationship assessment for an AE is to be completed using the following definitions as a 
guideline for all AEs occurring during clinical trials conducted or sponsored by 
GALDERMA R&D: 
Reasonable possibility: 
 According to the reporting Investigator, there is a reasonable possibility (i.e., suggestive 
evidence or arguments) that there is a causal relationship irrespective of the dose administered 
between: 
 The study drug (investigational product and the AE),  
 The clinical trial protocol procedure (such as blood test) and the AE. 


GALDERMA R&D 
RD.06.SPR.118295 Protocol V02 04Jun2019 
Page 46 of 88 
 
No reasonable possibility: 
No suggestive evidence or arguments can be identified regarding a causal relationship between the 
study drug or the clinical trial protocol procedure and the AE. 
7.2.2.2 
Reporting procedures 
7.2.2.2.1 
Procedures for reporting adverse events 
The collection of AEs is from the time that a subject signs the ICF to their final visit. 
At each post-enrollment visit, the Investigator (or sub-Investigator) will question the subject about 
AEs using an open non-persuasive question to elicit reporting of AEs, for example: “Have you 
noticed any change in your health since the last visit?” Directed questioning and examination will 
then be performed, as appropriate.  
Any AE occurring during the AE reporting period, whether it is related to the study drug or not, 
will be recorded immediately in the source document, and described on the Adverse Event Form 
along with the date of onset, severity, relationship to the study drug, and outcome, without omitting 
any requested and known information. Additional information may be requested under certain 
circumstances. Adverse Events assessed as related to the treatment will be monitored until they 
are completely or satisfactorily resolved. Other AEs will be monitored until the last visit if they 
are not resolved or satisfactorily resolved. 
The Investigator will obtain and maintain in the subject’s files all pertinent medical records, 
information and medical judgment from colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of 
the subject. If necessary, the Investigator will contact the subject’s personal physician or hospital 
staff to obtain further details. 
For 
SAEs 
(see 
Section 7.2.2.2.2), 
AESIs 
(see 
Section 7.2.2.2.3), 
and 
pregnancies 
(see Section 7.2.2.2.5), the CSO is to be informed immediately by fax or email. The event must be 
reported by facsimile or scan and sent by e-mail to the CSO within 24 hours of knowledge of the 
event (contact details in Section 7.2.2.2.2). 
7.2.2.2.2 
Procedure for reporting a Serious Adverse Event 
For an SAE occurring during the period of the clinical trial, regardless of whether it is related to 
the treatment or not, and of whether it is expected or not, the Investigator must do the following: 
1. 
Take prompt and appropriate medical action, if necessary. The safety of the subject is the 
first priority. 
2. 
Immediately inform the CSO of the event by fax or email and discuss further actions to be 
taken.

summing the scores of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. A 
lower score on the DLQI indicated increased QOL; therefore, negative changes from Baseline 
indicate improvement. The meaning of the DLQI total scores were interpreted as: no effect (0-1), 
small effect (2-5), moderate effect (6-10), very large effect (11-20), or extremely large effect (21-
30). 
For the cDLQI: 
The meaning of the DLQI total scores were interpreted as: no effect (0-1), small effect (2-6), 
moderate effect (7-12), very large effect (13-18),or extremely large effect (19-30). 
 
The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. For instructions of use and scoring:

The questionnaires completed will be considered as source data and the answers will be entered 
into the CRF by the site. 
7.3.3 
CompAQ for Facial and Truncal Acne 
It will be collected at baseline, week 12 and 24/ early termination. The Investigator or designee 
should provide the subject (16 years of age and older) with the comprehensive QoL measure 
inclusive of facial and truncal form and instruct the subject to read and answer all 20 quality of life 
questions. The questionnaire will measure the impact of facial and torso acne on health-related 
quality of life.  
The 20 questions consists of 5 domains that assess a variety of psychosocial and physical impacts 
of acne: Psychological/Emotional, Social (Judgement From Others), Social Interactions, 
Treatment Concerns, Physical Symptoms. The score on the CompAQ has a possible range of 0 to 
160. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. For instructions of use and scoring

An anchor question is added in order to detect responsivity with intervention and for Minimal 
Clinically Important Difference (MCID). 
Higher scores indicate greater adverse impact 
•The response range for each question is from 0–8 with higher numbers indicating greater adverse 
impact. 
•For each domain, response range is from 0–32. 
•For the long form questionnaire, response range is from 0–160 
•For the short form questionnaire, response range is from 0–40 
The investigator or delegate will then check all questions of the questionnaire for completeness 
prior to the subject leaving the office.

Subject disposition, demographics and baseline characteristics, previous therapies, and 
concomitant therapies will be summarized by descriptive statistics based on the ITT Population. 
Treatment exposure and compliance data will be summarized based on the Safety Population. 
For statistical analysis purposes, previous therapies/procedures are defined as those ending at 
Baseline or before; and concomitant therapies/procedures are defined as those ongoing at the 
Baseline visit or starting after the Baseline visit. 
Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are defined as AEs with onset on or after first dose 
of study drug; or those AEs with onset prior to first dose of study drug but worsened during 
treatment.  
TEAEs will be tabulated in frequency tables by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term 
(PT) based on the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Additional summary 
tables will be provided for SAEs, AEs considered related to the study drug, severe AEs, AESIs, 
and AEs leading to discontinuation. For a given AE, a subject will be counted once even if he/she 
has experienced multiple episodes of that particular AE.  
In addition, non TEAEs will be summarized or listed separately. 
For local tolerability (erythema, scaling, dryness, stinging/burning), data will be summarized for 
worst score over treatment period, the final score during treatment, as well as scores for each visit. 
The quality of life indices, EQ-5D-5L, COMPAQ (including the anchor question), C-DLQI, and 
DLQI will be summarized descriptively. 
Subgroup analyses will be explored by analysis center, age (<18 years, ≥18 years), gender and race 
if appropriate for efficacy endpoint, and safety endpoints (TEAEs and Local tolerability).  
Further details will be provided in the SAP. 
9.1.3.1 
Imputation of missing data 
The last observation carried forward (LOCF) will be used to impute efficacy endpoints, where 
applicable. Non-responder analysis will also be carried out for Binary endpoints.  
Further details will be provided in the SAP. 
9.1.3.2 
Statistical hypothesis testing and multiplicity adjustment 
Analysis of Efficacy Endpoint 
All efficacy and patient reported endpoints will be summarized with point estimate and 95%

The Investigator will allow the CRO / Sponsor’s representatives, to have direct access to all clinical 
trial records, CRFs, corresponding subject medical records, study drug dispensing records, study 
drug storage area, clinical trial facilities, and any other documents considered source 
documentation.  
The Investigator also agrees to assist the representative if required. 
10.3 
Data management 
The designated CRO will be responsible for activities associated with the data management of this 
study. 
 
This will include, but not limited to, setting up a relevant database and data transfer mechanisms, 
along with appropriate validation of data and resolution of queries. 
 
Study sites will enter data directly into an electronic data capture (EDC) system by completing the 
CRF via a secure internet connection. Data entered into the CRF must be verifiable against source 
documents at the study center. Data to be recorded directly on the CRF will be identified and the 
CRF will be considered the source document. Any changes to the data entered into the EDC system 
will be recorded in the audit trail. 
 
All data management activities will be detailed in a Data Management Plan (DMP). 
10.4 
Quality assurance / audit / inspection 
The clinical trial is conducted under the sponsorship of GALDERMA R&D in compliance with 
the applicable international and local regulatory requirements as well as applicable ICH guidelines 
and in accordance with the SOPs for clinical trial conduct and monitoring from GALDERMA 
and/or the CRO. 
At the completion of the study, digital images will be forwarded to the Sponsor according to 
individual testing facility SOPs.  
 
Audits of clinical trial centers may be conducted by the Sponsor/CRO representatives, and 
inspection may be performed by Regulatory Authority inspectorates or IRBs/IECs before, during, 
or after the clinical trial.  
The Investigator will allow and assist the CRO /Sponsor’s representatives, IRBs/IECs and any 
regulatory agency to have direct access to all requested clinical trial-related records. 
For the audits performed by, or on behalf of, GALDERMA auditors, audit certificate(s) will be 
provided by Quality Assurance.

Changes in clinical trial conduct / amendments 


GALDERMA R&D 
RD.06.SPR.118295 Protocol V02 04Jun2019 
Page 67 of 88 
 
10.5.1 
Clinical trial conduct 
With the exception of eliminating an immediate hazard to a subject, the Investigator should not 
deviate from the clinical trial protocol or implement any changes without written approval from 
the Sponsor and prior review and documented approval/favorable opinion from the IRB/IEC of a 
protocol amendment. 
Changes that involve only logistical or administrative changes to the clinical trial protocol are 
authorized. The Investigator should document and explain any deviation from the clinical trial 
protocol. 
10.5.2 
Amendments 
The Sponsor may modify the clinical trial protocol at any time for ethical, medical, or scientific 
reasons. 
10.5.3 
Attrition 
Clinical studies may experience attrition. Subjects will be made aware that they are free to 
withdraw from the study at any time for any reason, without prejudice. Otherwise, every effort will 
be made to have subjects complete the study as stated in this protocol, ensuring subject safety and 
following the provisions of the ICF. Reasons for subject withdrawal may include an AE, SAE, 
subject’s request, protocol violation, lost to follow-up, and other reasons. Subjects lost from the 
study will be documented on a screening/enrollment log.   
 
If a subject fails to return for a scheduled examination, a representative of clinical site (site 
representative/study coordinator) will attempt to contact the subject and determine whether the 
subject has continued to follow study instructions and intends to continue participation in the study.  
If so, then the subject will be rescheduled to come into the clinic as soon as possible.  
 
If a rescheduled visit is outside of the specified time frame window, this will be recorded in the 
screening/enrollment log and as a deviation.  
 
If a subject cannot reschedule in an acceptable time frame and completely misses 1 study visit, the 
subject may be allowed to continue study participation at the discretion of the Investigator and the 
Sponsor, provided that the subject has continued to comply with study instructions. If the subject 
is allowed to continue, the missed visit will be noted in the screening/enrollment log and recorded 
as a protocol deviation. Subjects will not be allowed to miss the week 12 visit.

17. My skin feels bumpy or uneven. 
18. My skin feels dirty. 
19. My skin is red. 
20. My skin causes me discomfort or pain. 
Since your baseline visit in this study, has there been any change in overall quality of life 
related to your acne? 
RESPONSE RANGE:  
Patient instructions: Please circle the number that best describes your response where -7 indicates 
a great deal WORSE and +7 indicates a great deal BETTER 
 
 
-7 (a great deal WORSE)   -6     -5     -4     -3     -2     -1       0  (No change)   +1     +2     +3     +4     
+5     +6     +7 (a great deal BETTER) 
 
The above is based on this section of the paper for MCID determination for DLQI GRCQ 
The GRCQ [4], used as an anchor, allows patients to give a self-assessment of the change since 
baseline assessment in, for example, overall QoL or severity of skin condition, whether it has 
improved, remained the same or deteriorated. It has a 15-point scoring system with responses 
ranging from a very great deal better (+7) to no change (0) to a very great deal worse (-7). The 
GRCQ with a 15-point scoring system was chosen to maximize the sensitivity of the responses. 
Respondents with scores of 0, -1 or 1 are classified as unchanged or having a small but unimportant 
change. Respondents whose scores are 2, 3, -2 or -3 are considered to have experienced a small 
change equivalent to the minimal important difference. Those with scores of 4, 5, -4 or -5 are 
considered to have experienced a moderate change, and those with scores of 6, 7, -6 or -7 are 
considered to have experienced a large change [3,4]. The question posed was: ‘Since your first 
clinic visit, has there been any change in overall quality of life related to your skin disease?'
