CEA = Clinician Erythema Assessment. SSA = Subject Self-Assessment for rosacea facial redness.
Results of 2 identical 29-day, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, vehicle-controlled studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of once-daily RHOFADE® cream in 885 subjects with moderate to severe persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea. The primary end point was the proportion of subjects with at least a 2-grade improvement in erythema from baseline (pre-dose on day 1) on both the CEA and SSA scales measured at hours 3, 6, 9, and 12 on day 29.1
To achieve composite success, physicians and subjects had to independently rate the change in erythema as a 2-grade or greater improvement on similar 5-point scales.1
Composite success was required to meet the primary end point1
RHOFADE® cream significantly improved erythema with lasting results—a step closer to a more normal, healthy skin color1,2
In pivotal trials, few subjects discontinued due to adverse events
(2.2% with RHOFADE® cream vs 0.2% with vehicle)2

Most commercially insured patients pay about $1/day or less for once-a-day—every day—RHOFADE® cream
*Estimate based on the average daily use of RHOFADE® cream in clinical trials. In phase 3 clinical trials, mean daily usage was 0.43 grams per day.2 Therefore, a 30-gram tube used daily would last approximately 70 days.
