Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Based Therapeutic Success at End of Treatment (LOCF: Last Observation Carried Forward)
At end of treatment (LOCF), up to 12 weeks

Static evaluation of overall severity of papulopustular rosacea at a given time: 1) Clear: no papules and/or pustules; no erythema; 2) Minimal: rare papules and/or pustules; faint up to but not including mild erythema; 3) Mild: few papules and/or pustules; mild erythema; 4) Moderate: pronounced number of papules and/or pustules (but less than numerous papules and/or pustules); moderate erythema; 5) Severe: numerous papules and/or pustules, occasionally with confluent areas of inflamed lesions; moderate to severe erythema. Therapeutic success is defined as an IGA score of clear or minimal.

Nominal Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Lesion (IL) Count at End of Treatment (LOCF)
