Clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide 3.1% gel for moderate-to-severe acne: Efficacy and safety results from two randomized phase 3 trials
A three-pronged acne treatment approach —combining an antibiotic, antibacterial agent, and retinoid—may provide greater efficacy than single/double treatments. Topical clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide (BPO) 3.1% gel (IDP-126) is the first fixed-dose triple-combination in development for acne.

Clindamycin-benzoyl peroxide gel compared with clindamycin lotion for hidradenitis suppurativa; a randomized controlled assessor blinded intra-patient pilot study.
Background: Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, especially in HS. However, antibiotics form a cornerstone in its treatment. Topical clindamycin is known to cause bacterial resistance, but is still advised as monotherapy for the treatment of mild to moderate HS Methods This is a randomized controlled, assessor blinded, intra-patient pilot trial to compare the clinical efficacy of clindamycin-benzoyl peroxide gel with clindamycin lotion in patients with mild to moderate HS. Two contralateral body sites were randomized for treatment in each patient. The primary outcome was the difference in the International Hidraden...

32970 Efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose clindamycin 1.2%, benzoyl peroxide 3.1%, and adapalene 0.15% gel for moderate-to-severe acne: Randomized phase 2 and phase 3 studies of the first triple-combination drug
A 3-pronged approach to acne treatment —combining an antibiotic, antibacterial, and retinoid—may provide greater efficacy and tolerability than single/double treatments while potentially reducing antibiotic resistance and increasing patient compliance. Clindamycin 1.2%/BPO 3.1%/adapalene 0.15% (IDP-126) gel is the first triple-combin ation, fixed-dose topical acne product in development that addresses the major pathophysiological abnormalities in acne patients. A phase 2 (N = 741) and two phase 3 (N = 183; N = 180), double-blind, randomized, 12-week studies enrolled participants aged ≥9 years with moderate-to-severe ...

LB1031 Using social media to elucidate the patient experience with common acne treatments
Acne affects 50 million Americans annually and can have marked psychological effects on patients, who may also have poor experiences with different treatments. Our goal was to determine emotional sentiment associated with patient global impressions of change (PGIC) for common treatments. Through Brandwatch, a social media analysis tool, our team at The University of Illinois mined 90,121 social media posts pertaining to key words in relation to acne and expressions of satisfaction or disappointment, for twelve common treatments: adapalene, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, dapsone, doxycycline, erythromycin, iso...

Efficacy and tolerability of three topical acne treatments by body mass index: post hoc analysis including overweight and obese patients
CONCLUSIONS: CP/BPO 1.2%/3.75% gel, tretinoin 0.05% lotion, and tazarotene 0.045% lotion were all effective in reducing acne lesions by ≥45% in overweight/obese patients with moderate-to-severe acne, comparable to the underweight-to-normal group. Efficacy of these topical acne treatments is not greatly impacted by BMI and may be affected more by the formulation.PMID:35833564 | DOI:10.1080/09546634.2022.2071823 (Source: Journal of Dermatological Treatment)

A systematic review and network meta-analysis of topical pharmacological, oral pharmacological, physical and combined treatments for acne vulgaris
CONCLUSIONS: Topical pharmacological treatment combinations, chemical peels and photochemical therapy were most effective for mild-to-moderate acne. Topical pharmacological treatment combinations, oral antibiotics combined with topical pharmacological treatments, oral isotretinoin, and photodynamic therapy were most effective for moderate-to-severe acne. Further research is warranted for chemical peels, photochemical and photodynamic therapies for which evidence was more limited.PMID:35789996 | DOI:10.1111/bjd.21739 (Source: The British Journal of Dermatology)
