Trial Outcomes

Mean Change From Baseline for the Emotional Score of the Participant-completed Skindex-29 Quality of Life Questionnaire at Week 12

Skindex-29 is a 3-component (symptomatic, emotional, and functional) self-administered questionnaire (comprised of 30 questions) used to comprehensively measure the complex effects of skin diseases on a participant's quality of life. Participants were asked to answer questions based on a 5-point scale concerning their feelings over the past 4 weeks about the skin condition that has bothered them the most: 1, never; 2, rarely; 3, sometimes; 4, often; 5, all the time. The Emotional Score is the sum of 10 question scores; total score ranges from 10 to 50. (NCT01016977)

LC: count of all ILs (i.e., papules, pustules, and nodules) and NILs (i.e., open and closed comedones) at Baseline and at Week 12. TLs were calculated as the sum of ILs and NILs. LC was confined to the face (including forehead, nose, checks, and chin). Change from Baseline at Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 12 minus the value at baseline. Calculation was based on last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method for missing data. (NCT01017146)

Change in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) From Baseline at Week 2, 4, 8 and 12 in Participant's With 16 Years Old or Younger

The CDLQI was used to measure how much the participants' skin problem had affected their life over the last week. The CDLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30: 0-1=no effect at all on the participant's life; 2-6=small effect on the participant's life; 7-12=moderate effect on the participant's life; 13-18=very large effect on the participant's life; 19-30=extremely large effect on the participant's life. A lower score on the CDLQI indicates increased quality of life; therefore, negative changes from Baseline indicate improvements. (NCT01017146)

Dryness: skin epidermis that lacks moisture/sebum. Local tolerability assessments were performed by the Investigator at each study visit and were graded based on severity as G0 to G4. G0=absent (none); G1=slight (barely perceptible dryness with no flakes or fissure formation); G2=mild (easily perceptible dryness with no flakes or fissure formation); G3=moderate (easily noted dryness and flakes but no fissure formation); G4=severe (easily noted dryness with flakes and fissure formation). Maximum During Treatment is defined as the maximum severity of drying reported at any time during treatment. (NCT01017146)

The CDLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30: 0-1=no effect at all on the participant's life; 2-6=small effect on the participant's life; 7-12=moderate effect on the participant's life; 13-18=very large effect on the participant's life; 19-30=extremely large effect on the participant's life. A lower score on the CDLQI indicates increased quality of life; therefore, negative changes from Baseline indicate improvements. (NCT01017120)
