benzoyl peroxide/tretinoin (IDP-120) / Bausch Health - LARVOL DELTA

Self-Acne Treatment Among Medical Field Students at Qassim University. (PubMed, Cureus) - "Topical treatments such as tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide were the most frequently used medications, while cleansers were the most common over-the-counter products...These findings highlight the need for educational interventions to promote evidence-based acne management and discourage risky practices such as self-picking. Encouraging students to seek dermatological care and raising awareness of the potential consequences of unsupervised self-treatment are essential for optimizing skin health and overall well-being."

Individual sol-gel microencapsulation of benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin enables controlled release onto the skin. (PubMed, Heliyon) - "The active ingredients are released through small channels in the silica shell, gradually releasing the active ingredients to the skin. This study describes the stability and release profiles of encapsulated tretinoin and encapsulated benzoyl peroxide from the silica shell in physiologically relevant conditions and provides differentiation from traditional formulations."

Real-World Adverse Events Associated with Encapsulated Benzoyl Peroxide/Tretinoin, 3%/0.1%, and Encapsulated Benzoyl Peroxide, 5. (PubMed, Dermatol Ther (Heidelb)) - "The adverse events were generally mild and restricted to local irritation, pruritus, burning sensation, and erythema. The real-world incidence and type of adverse events reported by the community for encapsulated benzoyl peroxide/tretinoin, 3%/0.1%, and benzoyl peroxide, 5%, were consistent with the safety and tolerability findings from the phase III clinical studies of these treatments."

Results From Two Phase 1 Skin Irritation and Sensitization Safety Studies of Encapsulated Benzoyl Peroxide/Tretinoin, 3%/0.1% (WCD 2023) - "Microencapsulation results in a slower release of active drug to the skin after application, which likely contributes to the improved tolerability of E-BPO/T. Under exaggerated conditions of the studies, E-BPO/T was considered moderately irritating, whereas the vehicle was considered not irritating. No subjects discontinued the study due to irritation, and there were no reported adverse events."

Impact of Topical Vehicles and Cutaneous Delivery Technologies on Patient Adherence and Treatment Outcomes in Acne and Rosacea. (PubMed, J Clin Aesthet Dermatol) - "Further research is needed to fully highlight the impact of patient satisfaction and modern topical formulations on adherence and treatment outcomes. Drug microencapsulation is a delivery technology that has enabled development of a topical fixed-dose combination of benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin preventing the oxidation of tretinoin by benzoyl peroxide and improving the tolerability of the active ingredients."

Enhancing Topical Pharmacotherapy for Acne and Rosacea: Vehicle Choices and Outcomes. (PubMed, J Clin Aesthet Dermatol) - "One of the latest vehicle technologies in acne and rosacea to enhance efficacy, stability, and tolerability is microencapsulation of benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin, which resulted in significant efficacy and good tolerability in patients with each of these two diseases. Other new vehicle technologies include a polymeric form of tretinoin and a microsphere product that combines tretinoin plus clindamycin...This review summarizes drug delivery systems that have been developed with the aim of improving outcomes for patients being treated for either acne or rosacea. It also focuses, where possible, on formulations that have been evaluated in clinical studies."

Guidance for the pharmacological management of acne vulgaris. (PubMed, Expert Opin Pharmacother) - "Acne is not a traditional infectious disease and so while antibiotics may improve symptoms, they do not reliably resolve the condition. Thus, there is currently a tendency to opt for antibiotic-sparing treatment strategies whenever possible."

[VIRTUAL] Meclozine, a novel anti-inflammatory therapeutic in C. acnes-induced inflammation in vitro and in vivo (AAD-VMX 2021) - "When comparing the effect of meclozine with common commercial molecules (6 µM) used in acne treatment (erythromycine, clindamycine, benzoyl peroxide, isotretinoine, adapalene and retinoic acid) only adapalene shown comparable CXCL8 inhibition to meclozine but was associated with strong cytotoxicity. Meclozine-gel application reduced dose-dependently inflammation in a in vivo C. acnes-induced ear inflammation model in mice by 19% (p=0.04), 13% (p=0.14), 26% (p=0.01), 48% (p=0.002), and 56% (p=8.2 10-5) at 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4% concentrations, respectively. Therefore, meclozine appears to be a promising molecular compound to be tested clinically."
