Clinical Details
Official title: An Assessment of the Atrophogenic Potential of Triple Combination Cream Using Histology Measures in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Melasma
Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety Study
Primary outcome: Safety - Skin biopsy evaluation - histological assessment of skin atrophy
Secondary outcome: Tolerability assessments; Incidence of adverse events; Global Assessment of Lesion Severity; MASI; Physician Global Assessment
