Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Treatment Success Compared to Placebo.
Baseline to Week 16

Proportion of subjects with IGA (modified scale without erythema) 'treatment success' - Grade 0 or 1 at Week 16 with at least 2 grade reduction from Baseline to Week 16, in the DFD-29 group compared to Placebo. The modified IGA scale is a 5-point scale from Grade 0 to Grade 4, wherein Grade 0 is Clear, Grade 1 is Near Clear, Grade 2 is Mild, Grade 3 is Moderate and Grade 4 is Severe Rosacea. A lowering of the score with treatment indicates an improvement in the disease condition and a beneficial outcome.

Change in Total Inflammatory Lesion Count Compared to Placebo.
Baseline to Week 16.

Total inflammatory lesion count (sum of papules, pustules, and nodules) change from Baseline to Week 16, in the DFD-29 group compared to Placebo.
