The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of Tazarotene Foam to induce a phototoxic reaction when exposed to UV and VIS light on skin of healthy volunteers.
This is a Phase 1, single center, evaluator-blinded, randomized, vehicle controlled study to evaluate the potential of Tazarotene Foam 0.1% to induce a phototoxic reaction in healthy adult volunteers. Approximately 40 healthy, male and female, volunteer subjects aged 18 to 65 years will be enrolled. Each subject will be exposed to three (3) sets of three (3) patches containing Tazarotene Foam, Vehicle Foam and a Blank Patch (no study product). Each patch set will be applied to randomized sites on the subject's back. Patch sets will be removed and evaluated after 24 hours of exposure. The exposed patch sites will then be irradiated (exposed to light) and evaluated at 1 hour post irradiation and at 24, 48, and 72 hours.

Each subject will be exposed to a patch with tazarotene foam during a single, 24 hour application period. This patch will then be removed and those sites will serve as nonirradiated control. Patch sites will be evaluated for signs of inflammatory skin responses (eg, erythema and local skin reactions) and superficial effects 1 ±0.25 hour after patch removal, and during follow-up visits at 24 ±1 hours, 48 ±2 hours, and 72 ±2 hours after patch removal.
Each subject will be exposed to a patch with tazarotene foam during a single, 24 hour application period. The patch will be removed and that site will be exposed to ultraviolet A (UVA) and to UVA/ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation wavelengths (UV only). Patch sites will be evaluated for signs of inflammatory skin responses (eg, erythema and local skin reactions) and superficial effects 1 ±0.25 hour after patch removal, and during follow-up visits at 24 ±1 hours, 48 ±2 hours, and 72 ±2 hours after patch removal.
