- Success Rate [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
Percentage of subjects who achieve "Clear" (Score 0) or "Almost Clear" (Score 1) at Week 12 (ITT-LOCF) based on the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Score.
Evaluation of papulopustular rosacea will be performed by the investigator based on the following 5 point scale:
Clear = 0 (No inflammatory lesions present, no erythema); Almost Clear = 1 (Very few small papules/pustules, very mild erythema present); Mild = 2 (Few small papules/pustules, mild erythema); Moderate = 3 (Several small or large papules/pustules, moderate erythema); Severe = 4 (Numerous small and/or large papules/pustules, severe erythema)
- Absolute Change in Inflammatory Lesion Count [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]Inflammatory lesion counts were conducted at each visit by the Investigator or study coordinator. Papules and pustules were counted separately on each of the five facial regions (forehead, chin, nose, right cheek, left cheek).
- Percent Change in Inflammatory Lesion Count From Baseline to Week 12 (ITT-LOCF) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]Inflammatory lesion counts were conducted at each visit by the Investigator or study coordinator. Papules and pustules were counted separately on each of the five facial regions (forehead, chin, nose, right cheek, left cheek).
