  Purpose

This is a double-blinded, randomized placebo controlled pilot study comparing the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA versus saline injections to the cheek region in patients with rosacea.

The pilot study will enroll and treat a total of 10 subjects who present with rosacea of the cheek area. Upon study entry, subjects will be randomized to receive treatment with incobotulinumtoxinA or bacteriostatic saline to the cheek area. Study treatment will be prepared by an unblinded designee and both Physician Investigator (PI) and subject will remain blinded for the duration of the study. At the 16 week visit, control subjects will enter the rescue arm portion of the study and all study subjects will receive treatment with incobotulinumtoxinA to the cheek areas.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in Rosacea [ Time Frame: baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 17 weeks and 20 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Live rosacea assessment for each side of the face using the Rosacea Clinical Scorecard for clinical assessment

  • Safety [ Time Frame: baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events

  • Safety [ Time Frame: 1 week ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events

  • Safety [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events

  • Safety [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events

  • Safety [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events

  • Safety [ Time Frame: 17 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events

  • Safety [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Rate of adverse events


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in self-esteem [ Time Frame: baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 17 weeks and 20 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Self-esteem change will be determined by patient self-evaluation using the Heatherton & Polivy State Self-Esteem (HPSS) Scale

  • Patient Satisfaction [ Time Frame: week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 17 weeks and 20 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    4-point categorical assessment of patient satisfaction with treatment

  • First Impression [ Time Frame: Baseline, 17 week, and 20 week visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Upon completion of all visits, active treatment subjects' Baseline, 17 week, and 20 week visit photographs will randomly assigned to one of three photography binders (A, B, and C). Each binder will then be evaluated by 100 blinded evaluators (300 evaluations in total).

  4. Subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result at Visit 1 and be willing able to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g., barrier methods used with a spermicidal agent, hormonal methods, IUD, surgical sterilization, abstinence) during the study. Women will not be considered of childbearing potential if one of the following is documented on the medical history:

    • postmenopausal for at least 12 months prior to study drug administration
    • without a uterus and/or both ovaries
    • has had a bilateral tubal ligation for at least 6 months prior to study drug administration.

  6. Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent prior to performance of any study related procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects who are pregnant, nursing, planning to become pregnant, and/or not using a reliable form of birth control.
  2. Subjects with a known allergy or sensitivity to any component of the study medications or anesthesia.
  3. Topical or oral rosacea treatments within the past 2 weeks.
  4. Subjects with a significant systemic illness or illness localized to the areas of treatment.
  5. Botulinum toxin to the face within the past 6 months.
  6. Significant concurrent illness such as diabetes, epilepsy, lupus, or congestive heart failure.
  7. Concurrent skin condition affecting area to be treated.
  8. Prior surgery on the area to be treated within 3 months of initial treatment or during the study.
  9. History or evidence of keloids or hypertrophic scarring.
