Outcomes

  • Innovaderm successfully managed this acne study and this resulted in enrollment completed 1 month earlier than planned

Study Characteristics

  • Study Phase: II
  • Patient Population: Acne vulgaris (enrolling pediatrics & adults)
  • IP Route of Administration: Systemic
  • Sites distribution: 15 sites (USA)

Study Challenges and Solutions

Challenge 1: Administration Mode

Use of a novel route of administration for a population accustomed to topical and oral treatments

Solutions

  • Promoting the new treatment and clarity of messaging with the sites
  • Careful selection of sites

Outcome

  • Enrollment completed one month ahead of schedule

Challenge 2: Recruitment – Apprehension

  • Enrollment of pediatric population while managing patients’ and their parents’ fears regarding the route of administration

Solutions

  • Experience with pediatric enrollment was mandatory for sites
  • As minors tend to have compliance issues, the administration of a drug once every two weeks was a key advantage

Outcome

  • Recruited much more pediatrics than expected (+40%)

Challenge 3: Pandemic

  • Enrolling during the first waves of COVID-19 could have impacted recruitment & operations (site staffing, monitoring visits, etc.)

Solutions

  • Sites were prepared to operate and follow new safety guidelines regarding COVID-19

Outcome

  • The study proceeded as scheduled

Key Success Factors & Strategies

  • Local advertisement campaigns to increase engagement
  • Implemented remote monitoring during COVID-19 to maintain workflow efficiency

Revolutionize Your Topical Trials

Efficacy insights in days, not months.

 Indero’s Early Phase 1 model enables sponsors to initiate topical studies that detect early pharmacodynamic signals much sooner than traditional phase 1, using microdosing and transcriptomic analysis. This approach reduces preclinical requirements, shortens study duration from 8–12 weeks to ≀3 days, and lowers costs, helping teams make informed go/no-go decisions faster.
