Official title
ACZ ACN 01. A Phase 4, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Randomized, Vehicle-Controlled, Cross-Over Study to Further Evaluate the Risk of Hematological Adverse Events in G6PD-Deficient Subjects With Acne Vulgaris Treated With ACZONE™ (Dapsone) Gel, 5%.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to gather more information about the safety of ACZONE Gel, 5% in treating subjects with acne who have certain blood disorders. ACZONE Gel, 5% is a prescription skin use (topical) medicine used to help treat acne in people 12 years and older. ACZONE Gel, 5% has been studied in approximately 4000 people and was shown to reduce the number of pimples and improve acne. The active drug ingredient in ACZONE Gel, 5% is dapsone. People with blood disorders called "G6PD deficiency", "methemoglobin reductase deficiency", and "hemoglobin M" have a higher chance of side effects with dapsone. G6PD is short for "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase". It is an enzyme found in red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body. G6PD helps the red blood cells to function normally. Some people have less G6PD in their red blood cells than the average person. This is called G6PD deficiency. Two treatments - ACZONE Gel, 5% and placebo - will be studied for comparison.
