PIHP frequently affects individuals with a phototype of IV or above.[1] PIHP is worsened by UV radiation, lasts for years and impacts the individual well-being.[2, 3] In an observational study, 1785 adults with a phototype ranging from IV to VI with acne and PIHP applied daily for 2 months a dermocosmetic and a tainted sunscreen product (DC, Effaclar® Duo (+); SS, Anthelios® Shaka Fluide SPF 50+, SS; both La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique, France.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acne and Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation, run by Cosmetique Active International at 1 site in United Arab Emirates.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 Nov 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 Arab Emirates. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

seborrhoea level (time frame: baseline). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 Nov 2022.
