  • Clinical trials
    • The double-blind, placebo-controlled trials PERFECT-1 and PERFECT-2 investigate the efficacy and safety of trifaroten in patients aged 9 years and over with acne vulgaris, compared with placebo, over a period of 12 weeks.
    • The single-arm SATISFY trial investigates the treatment with Trifaroten in the indicated therapeutic indication over 52 weeks.

Patients aged 12 years and over with acne vulgaris on the face and/or trunk, where there are numerous comedones, papules and pustules

  • For patients aged 12 years and over with acne vulgaris on the face and/or trunk, where there are numerous comedones, papules and pustules, the additional benefit is not proven.
  • Due to the lack of a comparison with the appropriate comparator therapy, neither the placebo-controlled studies PERFECT-1 and PERFECT-2 nor the single-arm SATISFY study are suitable for the benefit assessment in accordance with Section 35a of the German Social Code, Book V (SGB V).
  • Overall, it is concluded that the additional benefit of trifarotene is not proven in patients aged twelve years and over with acne vulgaris on the face and/or trunk, where numerous comedones, papules and pustules are present.
