Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CIP-Isotretinoin and a marketed (generic) formulation of isotretinoin when both are administered twice daily with meals.

Primary Outcome

The change from Baseline to Week 20 in the total number of nodular lesions was calculated as the Week 20 lesion count minus Baseline lesion count and compared using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), controlling for Baseline total nodular lesion count, gender and analysis site. The 95% CI of the adjusted least square mean difference (CIP-ISOTRETINOIN minus Isotretinoin) was also calculated using the ANCOVA model. Pre-defined criterion for non-inferiority: upper bound of the 95% CI for the treatm
