| Abstrakt: | Background: A once-daily, three-pronged approach using an antibiotic, antibacterial, and retinoid may provide faster acne improvement versus monotherapy or dual-combination products. This post hoc analysis compared threshold acne lesion reductions with clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide 3.1% (CAB) gel—the first FDA-approved triple-combination topical acne product—to its dyads and vehicle. Methods: Phase 2 (N=741; NCT03170388) and phase 3 (N=183; N=180; NCT04214639; NCT04214652), double-blind, 12-week studies randomized participants aged ≥9 years with moderate-to-severe acne to once-daily CAB or vehicle gel; the phase 2 study included three additional dyad gel arms. The pooled percentage of participants achieving ≥33%, ≥50%, and ≥75% reduction in inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions was evaluated. Results: As early as week 4 in the phase 2 study, ≥33% reduction in inflammatory lesions occurred in a significantly greater percentage of CAB gel-treated participants (82.7%) than with the 3 dyads and vehicle (61.1-69.8%; P<0.05, all). These early reductions were sustained throughout the study, with significantly (P<0.05) more CAB-treated participants achieving ≥50% reduction in inflammatory lesions versus dyads and vehicle from weeks 4-12. By week 12, CAB led to substantial reductions of ≥75% in significantly more participants than dyads and vehicle (65.8% vs 49.9-51.2% and 21.6%; P<0.05, all). Similar trends were observed for noninflammatory lesions in the phase 2 study and for inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions in the phase 3 studies. Conclusions: Lesion count reductions were significantly greater with CAB versus its dyads and vehicle gel as early as week 4, with substantial reductions observed after 12 weeks of treatment. This faster-acting and sustained efficacy of CAB gel—coupled with its optimized formulation, once-daily dosing, and tolerability—may positively impact treatment adherence.
