Objective: We sought to compare the efficacy and safety of encapsulated benzoyl peroxide (E-BPO) cream, 5%, versus vehicle in subjects <65 years of age versus subjects ≥65 with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea.
Methods: This analysis used pooled results from two 12-week, randomized, vehicle-controlled Phase III trials (NCT03564119, NCT03448939) of E-BPO cream, 5%. These trials included 733 subjects randomized 2:1 to E-BPO or vehicle.
Article Synopsis
- * In a 12-week double-blind study involving over 360 participants aged 9 and older, CAB led to a 50% success rate in achieving clear skin, significantly outperforming a placebo gel, with over 70% reduction in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions.
- * The treatment showed a good safety profile, with only mild to moderate side effects and a low discontinuation rate due to adverse events, indicating CAB could be a promising option for those suffering from moderate
Gold microparticles are indicated as an accessory to 1064 nm lasers to facilitate photo-thermal heating of sebaceous glands for treating mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris (Sebacia Microparticles, Coronado Aesthetics LLC, Southlake, TX). The following study assessed the safety and clinical benefit of gold microparticles/laser therapy when used together with commercially available topical acne products. Healthy patients, 12 to 45 years old with mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne were prescribed a topical pre-treatment retinoid for 3 to 4 weeks.

Methods: In two 12-week, randomized, double-blind, vehicle cream-controlled Phase III trials, 733 subjects at least 18 years old with moderate to severe rosacea were randomized (2:1) to once-daily E-BPO cream, 5%, or vehicle.
