Clinical Evaluation of the Sebum Reduction Induced by Clascoterone Cream 1%
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Winlevi (clascoterone) 1% cream for Acne Vulgaris. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The etiology of acne is heavily dependent on the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands that results in the growth of the bacteria c. acnes. If no sebum is present, there is no nutritional source for the c. acnes, the bacteria die, and acne resolves. An FDA approved acne medication consisting of clascoterone cream 1% is believed to effectively treat acne due to a decrease in sebum production. This mechanism of action has been postulated based on efficacy observed in the phase III trials that lead to its approval. This research aims to demonstrate the effect of clascoterone cream 1% in sebum reduction.
