- Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Screening up to Week 53 ]Incidence, frequency, and duration of treatment emergent AEs and SAEs
- Number of subjects with clinically significant laboratory test abnormalities [ Time Frame: Screening up to Week 53 ]
- Number of subjects with clinically significant vital signs abnormalities [ Time Frame: Screening up to Week 53 ]
- Investigator-Assessed Local Tolerability Scale (LTS) Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 ]Local Tolerability Scale (LTS) is a clinical tool for assessing the presence and overall degree of irritation at the application sites, according to a 5-point scale (0-4). Higher LTS scores represent more severe irritation.
- Subject (or Caregiver)-Assessed Local Tolerability Scale (LTS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 ]Local Tolerability Scale (LTS) is a clinical tool for assessing the presence and overall degree of irritation at the application sites, according to a 5-point scale (0-4). Higher LTS scores represent more severe irritation.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Detectable Time-Point (AUC0-t) of tapinarof cream, 1%. [ Time Frame: Week 4 and Week 12 ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable time point.
- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of tapinarof cream, 1%. [ Time Frame: Week 4 and Week 12 ]Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax).
- Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (tmax) of tapinarof cream, 1%. [ Time Frame: Week 4 and Week 12 ]Time to maximum observed plasma concentration obtained directly from the observed concentration.
