A recently listed Clinical Trial aims to recruit rosacea sufferers to find out how well they are getting on with their usage of Finacea, Metrogel and Mirvaso. The trial outcomes are several, but include the recording of adverse reactions to treatments, patient satisfaction and likelihood of switching rosacea treatment.
The trial is being sponsored by Bayer, the makers of Finacea. Given the trial outcomes it is easy to see the trial as an attempt by Bayer to get an understanding of how well rosacea sufferers fare with Finacea compared to Metrogel and Mirvaso. This understanding will include adverse events and how likely current satisfaction with a treatment might lead sufferers to consider switching treatments.
