Trial Outcomes

Complete Response Rate

"The primary endpoint used to evaluate tazarotene efficacy for BCC chemotherapy was the complete response (CR) rate, defined as the complete visible disappearance of a patient's target lesion during the the 18 months of tazarotene application and its failure to recur during the ensuing 18-months. We defined surgical removal of a target lesion as a treatment failure. The primary endpoint was assessed based on intention to treat analysis such that any subject who underwent the baseline evaluation and applied at least 1 dose of tazarotene was included in the analysis. Drop-outs were considered non-responders. A priori treatment success for tazarotene was defined as a CR rate of at least 50%, and treatment failure was defined as a CR rate of 25% or less."
