Abstract

Acne vulgaris is very common among adolescents and young adults. It is important for clinicians who provide care to these patients to have a plan of action for assessing and managing acne in daily practice. Post-hoc analysis of two large-scale phase 3 pivotal trials of trifarotene 0.005% cream, focusing on efficacy, safety, and tolerability in the subgroup of subjects aged 12 to 17, inclusive. Trifarotene was effective and well tolerated on both the face and trunk in patients ages 12-17 with moderate acne. There was a low and acceptable rate of adverse events and tolerability was favorable. Trifarotene monotherapy was associated with good clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Once-daily application offers convenience for patients, and the low concentration of trifarotene makes it well-suited to use on large skin areas such as the trunk.
