What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage at Week 24

    Number of participants who improved (a decrease by at least one point) in Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage from baseline to week 24. Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage is a scale from 0 - 5 (0 = None, 1 = Minimal, 2 = Mild, 3 - Moderate, 4 = Severe and 5 = Very Severe) with 0 being best and 5 being worst.

    Measured: baseline to week 24

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Photonumeric Scale for the Assessment of Photodamage From Baseline to Week 12 and Baseline to Week 24

    Number of participants in each category of the Photonumeric Scale for the Assessment of Photodamage from baseline to week 12 and baseline to week 24. Photonumeric Scale consisted of 9 categories (Fine Wrinkling, Mottled Pigmentation, Irregular Depigmentation, Lentigines, Coarse Wrinkling, Elastosis, Tactile Roughness, Telangiectasia, and Actinic Keratosis. These were evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = None, 1 = Minimal, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate and 4 = Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.

    Measured: baseline, week 12 and week 24

  2. Number of Participants Who Improved (a Decrease of at Least One Point) in Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage From Baseline to Week 12.

    Number of participants who improved in Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage from baseline to week 12. Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage was evaluated on a scale from 0 - 5 (0 = None, 1 = Minimal, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate 4 = Severe and 5 = Very Severe) with 0 being best and 5 being worst.

    Measured: baseline to week 12

  3. Number of Participants in Each Category of the Subject Evaluation of Improvement at Week 12 and Week 24

    Number of participants in each category of the Subject Evaluation of Improvement at week 12 and week 24. Subject Evaluation of Improvement was evaluated on a scale from 0 - 6 (0 = Complete Improvement, 1 = Almost (~90%) Improvement, 2 = Marked (~75%) Improvement, 3 = Moderate (~50%) Improvement, 4 = Slight (~25%) Improvement, 5 = No Change, 6 = Worse) with 0 being best and 6 being worst.

    Measured: week 12 and week 24

  4. Number of Participants in Each Category of the Investigator Evaluation of Global Response (Improvement) at Week 12 and Week 24

    Number of participants in each category of the Investigator Evaluation of Global Response (Improvement) at week 12 and week 24. Investigator Evaluation of Global Response (Improvement) is evaluated on a scale from 0 - 6 (0 = Complete Response, 1 = Almost Complete (~90%) Response, 2 = Marked (~75%) Response, 3 = Moderate (~50%) Response, 4 = Slight (~25%) Response, 5 = No Response and 6 = Worsening) with 0 being best and 6 being worst.

    Measured: week 12 and week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing adapalene gel, 0.3% and tretinoin 0.05% emollient cream in people with Photoaging, run by Galderma R&D at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Feb 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Overall Integrated Assessment of Photodamage at Week 24 (time frame: baseline to week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2022.
