Answer Study

Not an actual patient

Let's clear up the facts

Combination treatment has the potential to improve outcomes. For this study, we added Oracea® (doxycycline, USP) 40mg Capsules to Soolantra® (ivermectin) Cream, 1% to measure efficacy and ensure the treatment approach aims for 'clear'.1 Clear is defined as IGA score of 0 according to the IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) scale, which is commonly used by dermatologists.

Both molecules have independent and cooperative effects on the inflammatory pathways of rosacea.

Understanding the Importance of Clear Skin CLEAR* Analysis: Overview2

Post-hoc analysis of Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies of Soolantra Cream

OBJECTIVE: Define the benefit of being "clear" versus "almost clear" in subjects considered a "success" with treatment

All subjects who achieved clear (IGA=0) or almost clear (IGA=1) were combined regardless of treatment (Soolantra Cream and MetroCream Topical Cream, 0.75%) and vehicle

*CLEAR = Change the Level of Expectation of Achievement for Rosacea

 

Subjects Who Achieve Clear Remain Treatment Free for 5 Months Longer Than Subjects Who Achieve Almost Clear12

Chart showing the pooled analysis of treatment-free time after treatment for rosacea. The median time to treatment (relapse) for patients who achieved almost clear was 3 months and for patients who achieved clear was >8 months.

*Pooled post-hoc analysis of 4 studies evaluating Soolantra Cream 1%, MetroCream Topical Cream, 0.75%, or vehicle in subjects with inflammatory papules and pustules of rosacea.

 

"Clear" subjects reported a better improvement of their rosacea versus "almost clear" subjects (76.8% vs 41.8% with excellent improvement)2

Graph showing the percentage of patients reporting either no improvement, moderate improvement, good improvement, or excellent improvement of their rosacea.

  • Overall, "clear: subjects had a better improvement in their rosacea compared with "almost clear" subjects
  • 76.8% "clear" subjects indicated they had excellent improvement
  • Only 41.8% of "almost clear" subjects indicated they had excellent improvement
