pivotal data

The most common adverse events (>2%) were nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, diarrhea, hypertension and aspartate aminotransferase increase1

Study Design: A multicenter, outpatient, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial was conducted over 16 weeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ORACEA Capsules. A total of 251 rosacea subjects (≥18 years of age with 10 to 40 papules and pustules and 2 nodules, plus an IGA score of 2 to 4) participated1

The most common adverse events (>2%) were nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, diarrhea, hypertension and aspartate aminotransferase increase1

Study Design: A randomized, multicenter, outpatient, double-blind, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial of 91 rosacea subjects (≥18 years of age) for 16 weeks. Patients were prospectively randomized to receive daily doses of either ORACEA Capsules or doxycycline (100 mg), each in combination with metronidazole cream, 1%4

RELAPSE DATA

Maintaining clearer skin with ORACEA Capsules

  • Continued use of ORACEA Capsules as a monotherapy for an additional 40 weeks
    significantly reduced relapse rates vs placebo3
  • A 50% reduction in the likelihood of relapse was seen with ORACEA Capsules from
    Week 28 through to the end of the study vs placebo (27.7% vs 13.8%, p<0.05)3

RELAPSE RATES OVER 40 WEEKS
ORACEA CAPSULES OVER 52 weeks

relapse data

Study Design: A two-part study assessing relapse, efficacy and safety of ORACEA Capsules in patients with moderate or severe rosacea over 52 weeks (n=235). Part 1 was a 12-week multicenter, open-label study in which patients were treated with ORACEA Capsules and metronidazole gel, 1% once daily. Part 2 was a 40-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which patients who achieved treatment success in Part 1 were eligible to be randomized to receive either ORACEA Capsules or placebo once daily for up to an additional 40 weeks. Subjects who relapsed during Part 2 were discontinued. The data points in the graph for Part 1 were calculated retrospectively after the patients who moved to Part 2 were randomized. Relapse was defined as a return to baseline Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) or lesion count, or any other necessary change in treatment3

Relapse was defined as a return to baseline Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) or lesion count, or any other necessary change in treatment3

*Both treatments were safe and well tolerated in this study. Adverse events (AEs) were generally mild or moderate in severity during both parts of the study. A similar number of AEs were reported in both the ORACEA Capsules and placebo groups (12 subjects in each group), and no serious or gastrointestinal AEs were considered to be treatment-related3

safety

ORACEA Capsules are just as effective as doxycycline 100 mg, with fewer adverse events4

bacterial resistance

ORACEA Capsules may help keep patients below the antimicrobial threshold4-7

BMI RANGES AND LESION SEVERITIES

No need for weight-based dosing2

  • Sustained reduced inflammation in patients with all body sizes and for all baseline lesion severities2
  • With researchers beginning to unravel a link between rosacea and obesity, a treatment that
    successfully reduces lesion count across all BMI may become increasingly important8

bmi ranges

Study Design: A retrospective meta-analysis of subjects in the intent-to-treat populations from two phase 3 studies was conducted to examine if the weight of subjects and the number of baseline lesions affect the efficacy of ORACEA Capsules2

Important Safety Information

Indication: ORACEA® (doxycycline) 40 mg* capsules are indicated for the treatment of only inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea in adult patients. ORACEA does not lessen the facial redness caused by rosacea. Adverse Events: In controlled clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events (>2%) in subjects treated with ORACEA were nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, hypertension and sinusitis. Warnings/Precautions: ORACEA should not be used to treat or prevent infections. ORACEA should not be taken by patients who have a known hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other tetracyclines. ORACEA should not be taken during pregnancy, by nursing mothers, or during tooth development (up to the age of 8 years) and may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth. If Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) occurs, may need to discontinue ORACEA. Although photosensitivity was not observed in clinical trials, ORACEA patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight. The efficacy of ORACEA treatment beyond 16 weeks and safety beyond 9 months have not been established.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
