Weekly Isotretinoin Therapy for the Treatment of Moderate Acne Vulgaris
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Isotretinoin for Acne Vulgaris. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In current Dermatology practice, options for moderate acne vulgaris remain limited. The mainstay of treatment for moderate acne remains long courses of oral antibiotics despite emerging antibiotic resistance. The efficacy of daily to twice daily dosed isotretinoin, an oral vitamin A derivative, for treatment of severe acne has been well established. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed isotretinoin is effective for the treatment of patients with moderate acne. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and identify any adverse effects on this alternative dosing regimen.
