Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of topical aminocaproic acid on the immune system by assessing the levels of antimicrobial peptides in the skin of patients with rosacea. It is hypothesized that aminocaproic acid applied topically will alter the body's immune system in patients with rosacea by inhibiting activation of antimicrobial peptides.

Primary Outcome

Serine protease activity of KLK5 in adult skin from patients with rosacea is measured after treatment with vehicle or aminocaproic acid cream. Protease activity of facial skin surface is monitored using a synthetic fluorogenic trypsin-like proteinase substrate. Protease activity is monitored as an increase of fluorescence (RFU/uL) with SpectraMax GEMINI EM.

Interventions

  • DRUG Vehicle cream
  • DRUG Topical aminocaproic acid (ACA) mixed with Vanicream
