Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 and older with mild to severe erythro-couperotic rosacea (stage 2–4 on the TRoSA scale) who are considering vascular laser treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants whose rosacea does not respond to the dermocosmetic or laser combination, or who experience adverse reactions, may not see benefit.

What this trial studies
This study tests a dermocosmetic product for safety and effectiveness in reducing facial redness and visible vessels in adults with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea. It uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, intra-individual design where each participant receives the active product on one side of the face and placebo on the other, with visits over up to 8 months. Participants may also receive vascular laser treatment as part of the protocol, allowing assessment of the product alone and in combination with laser therapy. Outcomes include clinical assessments of redness and telangiectasia, standardized scales, and patient-reported measures, along with safety monitoring for local tolerability and adverse events. The trial is single-center, conducted at CHU de Rouen, with 50 adult participants and led by ISISPHARMA as sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience reduced facial redness and visible blood vessels, improving appearance and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar dermocosmetic approaches have shown potential for redness and telangiectasia improvement, though this exact intra-individual, split-face design with laser combination is a novel approach.
