NCT07205107
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of a treatment that contains clindamycin phosphate, adapalene, and benzoyl peroxide in people with acne. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * How satisfied are people with this treatment? * How well do people follow the treatment plan? * How effective and safe is the treatment? * How does the treatment affect quality of life? * How do people use other skin care products, such as cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen, while using this treatment? About 200 people aged 12 and older with acne across Canada will use the treatment as part of their regular care and answer questions about their experience over 20 weeks.
NCT07348978
Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition that can significantly affect quality of life. Standard treatments such as topical retinoids are effective but may not fully control symptoms in all patients. This study evaluated the effectiveness of auricular acupressure combined with topical 0.1% adapalene compared with topical 0.1% adapalene alone in patients with acne vulgaris. Auricular acupressure is a non-invasive traditional medicine technique that may help regulate inflammatory responses and improve skin conditions. The objective of this study was to determine whether the combination therapy provides greater improvement in acne severity and clinical outcomes than standard topical treatment alone.
NCT06415305
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease in patients with skin of color and second most common in Caucasian population. The global prevalence is thought to be as high as 60-80% in individuals 12-25 years of age. However, it is not limited to only teenagers but also to adults, especially adult females. The pathogenesis of acne is multifactorial. Genetics may also play a role. The treatment pathway should be directed to different pathogenic factors including, excessive sebum production, hyper keratinization, P. acnes, and inflammation. Data is limited for skin of color patients in Phase III registration trials. Data is limited because there are few studies that focus on patients with skin of color. Therefore, a unique study dedicated to patients with skin of color in a real-world setting will be welcome to add further evidence to phase III data.
NCT07250880
Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects adolescents and young adults. Recent research has shown that lipid mediators, including ceramides and sphingolipids, play an important role in maintaining skin barrier function and inflammation. This study aims to evaluate the serum levels of ceramide C16, ceramide C24, and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in patients with acne vulgaris and compare them to healthy controls. The goal is to explore their possible role in the pathogenesis and severity of acne. Blood samples will be collected from participants, and quantitative analysis will be performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

NCT06225570
In the effort to find better treatments for Moderate Acne, which often relies on long-term antibiotic use, researchers are exploring alternative options. While Isotretinoin, a Vitamin A derivative, is highly effective for severe acne, its side effects limit its use for milder cases. A recent study from our institution investigated a new approach: weekly Isotretinoin dosing. The results were promising, with acne improvement and no major side effects. This suggests that weekly Isotretinoin could be a successful alternative for moderate acne in both males and females. To validate these findings, investigators propose a randomized controlled trial comparing weekly Isotretinoin to daily Doxycycline over four months. This study could confirm the safety and effectiveness of weekly Isotretinoin, as well as shed light on patient satisfaction, and long-term results compared to standard antibiotics. This research may offer a breakthrough in treating moderate acne while addressing concerns about antibiotic overuse.
NCT07015931
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness, safety profile, and post-acne sequelae of 0.025% retinoic acid cream versus 0.1% adapalene cream for mild acne vulgaris in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types III-V. Main research questions are: 1. How does 0.025% retinoic acid cream compare to 0.1% adapalene cream in reducing the total number of acne lesions in patients with mild acne vulgaris and Fitzpatrick skin types III-V? 2. What is the severity of adverse effects that occur on the facial side treated with 0.1% adapalene cream and the facial side treated with 0.025% retinoic acid cream in patients with mild acne vulgaris and Fitzpatrick skin types III-V? 3. What is the severity of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that occurs on the facial side treated with 0.1% adapalene cream and the facial side treated with 0.025% retinoic acid cream in patients with mild acne vulgaris and Fitzpatrick skin types III-V? 4. What is the severity of post-acne erythema (PAE) that occurs on the facial side treated with 0.1% adapalene cream and the facial side treated with 0.025% retinoic acid cream in patients with mild acne vulgaris and Fitzpatrick skin types III-V? 5. What is the quantity, type, and severity of post-acne scarring (PAS) that occurs on the facial side treated with 0.1% adapalene cream and the facial side treated with 0.025% retinoic acid cream in patients with mild acne vulgaris and Fitzpatrick skin types III-V? Participants will: * Undergo baseline assessments, including acne lesion count, hyperpigmentation index, Clinician Erythema Assessment (CEA) scale, and post-acne scarring grading on each facial side. * Apply 0.025% retinoic acid cream and 0.1% adapalene cream on different facial sides as per randomization, every night for 12 weeks. * Record daily adverse effects per facial side, lesion manipulation frequency, and sun exposure duration * Attend follow-up visits every 4 weeks for acne lesion count, hyperpigmentation index, CEA scale, post-acne scarring grading, and assessment of adverse effect severity.

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
NCT05891795
Mechanism-based acne treatment for transgender patients receiving testosterone currently does not exist and is an unmet medical need. This study explores clascoterone to treat testosterone induced acne. Many treatments we use to treat acne in females cannot be used in transgender males because they interfere with hormone therapy. Androgens have been associated with the development of acne vulgaris. Recently, a topical androgen receptor inhibitor cream (clascoterone) has been FDA-approved for the treatment of acne. However, clinical trials of clascoterone have excluded participants on exogenous hormones. Clascoterone has been hypothesized to be effective in the treatment of acne in transgender male participants on masculinizing hormone therapy, but it has never been studied or reported in the literature.

NCT06725290
The study aims to explore the effects of isotretinoin therapy on the dry eye parameters in acne vulgaris patients \& determine if it is dose-dependent or not.
NCT06415279
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. A newly 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.
NCT01474798
This is a 91-day phase II, open label trial of the true human monoclonal antibody RA-18C3 in subjects with moderate to severe acne vulgaris. Ten (10) subjects will receive RA-18C3 via subcutaneous injection. Subjects will receive injections at Days 0, 21, and 42 for a total of 3 injections. Study drug will be administered under close observation in a facility equipped to handle medical emergencies. Subjects will not be discharged from the facility until at least 1 hour following the injection or 1 hour after their vital signs have stabilized. Safety will be assessed by pre- and post-treatment serial measurements of vital signs, clinical laboratory assessments, and the recording of adverse clinical events.
NCT06447480
In Dermatology, assessment of people of color remains underrepresented in RCTs (\<10%) and guidelines. Acne affects around 9% of the population worldwide and negatively affects quality of life and self-esteem with anxiety, suicidal ideation and physical scarring. Main lesions associate comedons, inflammatory papules and pustules which grading of severity allows decision-making, e.g., topicals in mild acne and isotretinoin in severe acne. In darker skin type patients, i.e., Fitzpatrick phototypes IV-VI, acne-related pigmentation (ARP) occurs in 65% of cases which reflects either per- or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Whatever is the mechanism, ARP (number, size, importance of dyschromia) impacts the quality of life in such patients. In moderate acne, treatment is based on oral antibiotics for 3 months, i.e., doxycycline or lymecycline, with topical treatment like tretinoin targeting comedons (and potentially ARP). However, oral antibiotics first-line were developed in white skin patients only and never showed its efficacy in ARP. Moreover, doxycycline could be associated with new-onset hyperpigmentation in acne patients. Isotretinoin -acting on the sebaceous gland and therefore the most effective drug in acne- is only prescribed after failure of antibiotics according to the guidelines.The main objective: To assess the superiority at M6 of a treatment of moderate facial acne in skin of color patients with oral isotretinoin in first line compared to the current standard of care on the severity of ARP.Multicenter randomized controlled trial - open study. The number of subjects required for the trial = 420

NCT04060160
This study is to create a self-learning software that can detect acne lesions. Patients take a picture of their face every single day for 3 months with a secure mobile phone and fill out a pre-designed questionnaire. After 3 months, the mobile will be collected back and the pictures will be evaluated by 3 dermatologists. The software is able to learn from the dermatologists' evaluation and -using machine learning- a mechanism that should be able to automatically detect acne to some extent will be established.
