Rhofade as an adjunct to IPL, PDL and KTP Laser

Allergan is sponsoring a clinical trial to evaluate whether their oxymetazoline HCL 1% based treatment – Rhofade, is an effective adjunctive treatment for rosacea patients undergoing treatments with Pulse Dye Laser (PDL), Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or KTP Laser.

The trial is designated as a Safety and Tolerability measure, so researchers will be looking for adverse events or worsening of skin tolerability or broken blood vessels. Participants will compare their skin tolerability from the baseline at Day 1 with that at Day 56.

This represents the opportunity to create a new market for Rhofade; rosacea patients undergoing `energy-based’ treatments and looking for relief from their red face during treatment.

Clinical Trial NCT03380390
