This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and long-term safety of the topical administration of FMX-101, 4% minocycline foam for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris.
This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and long-term safety of the topical administration of FMX-101, 4% minocycline foam for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris. The first 12 weeks of the study involves randomized, double-blind treatment with active FMX-101, 4% or matching vehicle. Subjects who successfully complete the 12-week double blind portion of the study will be offered the opportunity to continue in the trial for up to an additional 40 weeks (for a total of 1 year) and receive open-label treatment with FMX-101, 4%.

Absolute Change From Baseline in the Inflammatory Lesion Count at Week 12
To evaluate the efficacy in the treatment of acne compared to vehicle of topical FMX101 4% administered daily for 12 weeks. Changes from Baseline are calculated as Baseline value minus post-Baseline value, so that decreases appear as positive values. Inflammatory lesion count included: papules, pustules, and nodules.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessments (IGA) Treatment Success at Week 12
The IGA scale for acne vulgaris, was used by the investigators to assess the severity of a participant's acne vulgaris. The scale ranges from 0 (Clear): normal, clear skin with no evidence of acne vulgaris to 5 (Very Severe): highly inflammatory lesions predominate, variable number of comedones, many papules/pustules and many nodulocystic lesions. Higher scores indicated severe outcome. Treatment success was defined as an IGA score of 0 (score of clear) or 1 (almost clear), and at least a 2-grade improvement (decrease) from Baseline.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12
Percent Change From Baseline in the Non-inflammatory Lesion Count at Week 12
To evaluate the efficacy in the treatment of acne compared to vehicle of topical FMX101 4% administered daily for 12 weeks. Percent change from baseline is calculated as the baseline value minus the post-baseline value divided by the baseline value, expressed as a percentage. Non-inflammatory lesions included: open comedones (blackhead) and closed comedones (whitehead).
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12
Absolute Change From Baseline in the Inflammatory Lesion Count at Week 6 and Week 9
To evaluate the efficacy in the treatment of acne compared to vehicle of topical FMX101 4% administered daily for 12 weeks. Changes from Baseline are calculated as Baseline value minus post-Baseline value, so that decreases appear as positive values. Inflammatory lesion count included: papules, pustules, and nodules.

Percentage of Participants Achieving IGA Treatment Success at Week 6 and Week 9
The IGA scale for acne vulgaris, was used by the investigators to assess the severity of a participant's acne vulgaris. The scale ranges from 0 (Clear): normal, clear skin with no evidence of acne vulgaris to 5 (Very Severe): highly inflammatory lesions predominate, variable number of comedones, many papules/pustules and many nodulocystic lesions. Higher scores indicated severe outcome. Treatment success was defined as an IGA score of 0 (score of clear) or 1 (almost clear), and at least a 2-grade improvement (decrease) from Baseline.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 6 and Week 9
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
To evaluate the safety compared to vehicle of topical FMX101 4% administered daily for 12 weeks and to evaluate the long-term safety of topical FMX101 4% administered daily for up to an additional 40 weeks. TEAEs of the double-blind phase were defined as AEs starting on or after date of first application of investigational product (IP), but before the date of the first application of the open-label phase, and AEs starting on or after the first application of the open-label phase are considered as TEAEs of the open-label phase.
Time frame: Double blind: From Baseline until Week 12; Open-label: Week 16 until Week 52
