Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Adapalene Gel and Hyaluronic Acid Versus Adapalene Gel Alone in Mild to Moderate Acne Vulgaris: An Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial.

Acne vulgaris affects around 85% of adolescents and young adults. Adapalene, a topical retinoid, is a common treatment but often causes irritation, leading to poor adherence. Hyaluronic acid (HA), known for its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties, may help reduce these side effects.
This prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial compares adapalene 0.1% gel combined with HA serum versus adapalene alone over 8 weeks in patients with mild to moderate acne. Key outcomes include acne lesion reduction, incidence and severity of side effects (erythema, dryness, scaling, stinging/burning, pruritus), and skin hydration assessed through the skin turgor test. Acne severity will be measured using the Acne Severity Index (ASI) and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scale.
The study anticipates better efficacy, reduced irritation, and improved skin hydration with the combination therapy. Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent will be secured from all participants.

INTRODUCTION:

Clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide 3.1% (CAB) gel is the only fixed-dose, triple-combination approved for acne. In phase 2 and 3 studies, CAB demonstrated superior efficacy to vehicle and component dyads. This post hoc analysis examined efficacy/tolerability of CAB in 147 self-identified Hispanic/Latino participants (referred to as Hispanic).

METHODS:

Data were pooled from one phase 2 (NCT03170388) and two phase 3 (NCT04214652, NCT04214639) double-blind, 12-week studies. Eligible participants aged ≥9 years with moderate to severe acne were randomized to once-daily CAB or vehicle. Endpoints included ≥2-grade reduction from baseline in Evaluator's Global Severity Score with clear/almost clear skin (treatment success) and inflammatory/noninflammatory lesion counts. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed.

RESULTS:

At week 12, 56.2% of CAB-treated participants achieved treatment success vs 18.4% with vehicle (p < 0.001). Reductions in inflammatory/noninflammatory lesions were 77.1%/76.2% with CAB vs 56.4%/45.0% with vehicle, respectively (p < 0.001, all). CAB TEAE rates were similar to overall study populations (27.0% vs 24.6%-36.2%). Baseline hyperpigmentation scores decreased from 0.6 to 0.3 (1 = mild) at week 12 with CAB. CAB gel was efficacious, safe, and well tolerated in Hispanic participants. Limitations include lack of Fitzpatrick skin phototype and short study duration.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study provides support for acne treatment with CAB in ethnically diverse populations.

Targeting the RARα–Gankyrin–PI3K axis with retinoid analogs to modulate autophagy in breast cancer cells: Computational insights and experimental validation

Article

Author: Khanra, Pijush Kanti ; Kandasamy, Thirukumaran ; Ghosh, Siddhartha Sankar

This study explores the therapeutic potential of Retinoid analogs to overcome this resistance by modulating autophagy and lysosomal activity in breast cancer. Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses such as gene correlation, mutation, co-expression, and functional network analysis revealed a strong correlation between RARα, NRF2, Gankyrin, p110α, and p110β, alongside the PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis in regulating autophagy. Given its upstream role, RARα was identified as the primary target, with NRF2, Gankyrin, p110α, and p110β serving as co-target macromolecules to influence downstream autophagy pathways. Molecular docking analyses identified six RAR agonists-CD437, BMS961, CD437-¹³C₆, Adapalene, Adapalene-d₃, and CD1530-as promising candidates, all exhibiting high-profile binding affinities with all 5 target proteins RARα (< -10 kcal/mol), NRF2 (< -7.6 kcal/mol), Gankyrin (< -7.4 kcal/mol), p110α (< -8.9 kcal/mol), and p110β (< -8.6 kcal/mol). Among all, Adapalene (a synthetic Retinoid analog) was selected as a potent multi-target drug based on average docking score. Further, molecular dynamics simulation studies demonstrated enhanced protein stability with notable binding free energies of -82.712 kJ/mol (Gankyrin) and -25.526 kJ/mol (p110α). Subsequent in vitro validation using MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cell lines corroborated the computational findings. Adapalene markedly inhibited autophagy by downregulating the proteomic conversion of the core autophagy marker LC3B-I/LC3B-II, with reductions of up to 2.99-fold in MCF7 and 1.11-fold in MDA-MB-468 cell lines. In addition, it suppressed lysosomal activity by 2.73-fold in MCF7 and 2.52-fold in MDA-MB-468, as demonstrated by lysotracker assays. These findings underscore the potential of Adapalene as a multi-targeted modulator of RARα-PI3K signaling, effectively disrupting autophagy and cancer cell survival mechanisms in luminal and triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Diastereoselective Formal [3+3] Cascade Cyclization towards Fused 4‐Fluoroalkylated 3,4‐Dihydro‐2H‐pyrans via Copper Catalysis

Author: Zheng, Jia ; Chen, Lanmei ; Liu, Xuran ; Li, Zhiyong ; Yu, Wenzhu ; Zhang, Shenting ; Gao, Yin ; Hu, Weigao ; Yin, Jiawen

Comprehensive Summary:

The cycloaddition and annulation reactions offer a powerful method toward various important substituted 3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐pyran architectures. Nevertheless, the transformation for preparing fused‐polycyclic ones still remains challenging yet highly desirable until now. Herein, we report a novel formal [3+3] cascade cyclization reaction to provide lactam‐fused 4‐fluoroalkylated 3,4‐dihydropyran skeletons bearing three contiguous tertiary carbon centers via copper catalysis. Of note, these annulations proceeded in an exclusively diastereoselective manner through successive inert C(sp2)‐Cl and C(sp3)‐H functionalization, which exhibited highly site‐selectivity and stereoselectivity. Additionally, evaluations on biological activities of the obtained products revealed that several products display inhibitory activity against Siha and H1975 cancer cell lines.

Studies Show Sun Pharma's WINLEVI® (clascoterone) Cream 1% Reduces Sebum Levels and is Suitable for Combination With Other Commonly Used Topical Acne Medications

WINLEVI poster presentations at 2024 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference also include data affirming reduced acne severity and tolerability in patients with skin of color. MUMBAI, India and PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (Reuters: SUN.BO, Bloomberg: SUNP IN, NSE: SUNPHARMA, BSE: 524715, "Sun Pharma" and includes its subsidiaries or associate companies), today presented data strengthening the clinical rationale for the use of WINLEVI ® (clascoterone) cream 1% to treat acne. In poster presentations at the 44th Annual Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, data show WINLEVI significantly reduces sebum (oil) production and demonstrates excellent stability in the presence of other commonly prescribed topical acne treatments, supporting the use of WINLEVI in combination with those medications. Data also showed patients with skin of color, an under-represented population in studies of acne medications, experienced reduced acne severity and tolerability while taking WINLEVI. Collectively, the data continue to show that WINLEVI improves acne severity and is well tolerated. "As we learn more about the importance of sebum as a main cause of acne, it is gratifying to see new data supporting the use of WINLEVI to reduce sebum production as well as its suitability for combination treatment with other commonly prescribed topical agents," said Abhay Gandhi, chief executive officer, North America at Sun Pharma. "We are also encouraged by the reported reductions in acne severity and tolerability in people with skin of color, for whom the impact of acne can be profound. Together, these latest studies further establish WINLEVI as a safe and effective acne medication that dermatology professionals can confidently prescribe to their patients." WINLEVI is the first and only androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris (acne) in patients 12 years of age and older, and the first and only FDA-approved topical treatment available in the U.S. that targets sebum production in the skin. Sebum is an oily wax that protects and moisturizes skin, but too much of it feeds bacteria inside the skin, causing inflammation and acne lesions. Acne is the most prevalent skin condition in the U.S., affecting up to 50 million Americans and 80% of people at some point during their lives.1,2 It is the most common dermatological disorder in Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino populations.3 WINLEVI cream is a topical prescription medicine to treat acne in people 12 and older. The most common side effects include reddening, scaling or dryness, and itching. Local irritation may occur. Sebum reduction data Researchers presented 12-week interim results from a yearlong study of the effect of WINLEVI on facial sebum production in patients with acne. The study's primary objective and efficacy endpoint was reduction in casual facial sebum levels, as measured by a sebumeter, a device that directly measures the amount of lipids on the skin's surface. The study was also designed to assess the ability of WINLEVI to reduce the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score, a scale designed for investigators to assess the level of facial acne (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe). Other study objectives and efficacy endpoints included inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesion counts, and investigator-assessed oily appearance, pore size, and facial shine; the latter three endpoints were assessed on a five-point scale (0 = none, 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe). Among the 40 participating patients, the mean age was 20.9 years; most patients were female (60%) and White (63%). All patients entered the study with mild (57.5%) or moderate (42.5%) acne, as well as a mean sebumeter reading of 115.9 ± 50.5. The researchers reported significant reductions in sebumeter measurements following use of WINLEVI at six (-22%, P = 0.002), 10 (-19%, P = 0.005), and 12 weeks (-27%, P <0.001). They also observed significant improvements in facial oily appearance after four weeks of WINLEVI treatment (-8%, P = 0.008), with continued improvement through 12 weeks (-40%, P <0.001). Similarly, patients' pore size improved significantly after six weeks (-13%, P = 0.002), and continued to improve through 12 weeks (-23%, P <0.001). Additionally, facial shine levels significantly improved after four weeks (-9%, P = 0.004) with continued improvement through 12 weeks (-39%, P <0.001). By Week 12, patients using WINLEVI experienced a statistically significant 29% reduction in IGA score (P <0.001). Use of WINLEVI also resulted in significant reductions in the numbers of inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions (-48% and -40%, respectively; P <0.001 for both measurements) after four weeks, with continued improvement through 12 weeks (-54% and -34%, respectively; P <0.001 for both). WINLEVI was well tolerated through Week 12, with no reports of adverse reactions. "This is exciting news for people living with acne because this is the first study to demonstrate a reduction in measured facial sebum production following the use of clascoterone cream 1%," said lead investigator Zoe D. Draelos, MD, of Dermatology Consulting Services, PLLC, in High Point, N.C. "In addition to confirming the sebum-reducing effect of WINLEVI, our findings support data from previous clinical trials which showed reductions in the number of inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions, further demonstrating the clinical utility of this topical acne medication." Stability in combination therapy data Dr. Draelos and colleagues also reported results from a study assessing the stability of WINLEVI when layered with other topical acne medications such as tretinoin cream 0.025%, adapalene gel 0.3%, dapsone gel 7.5%, azelaic acid 15%, benzoyl peroxide 5%/clindamycin 1%, benzoyl peroxide 2.5%/adapalene 0.1%, and benzoyl peroxide encapsulated 5%. Each of these medications were placed separately on individual microscope slides with WINLEVI and incubated for eight hours at 37° Celsius. Material from the slides was extracted for analysis via high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). WINLEVI concentrations remained stable after layering with other acne medications. The percentage of WINLEVI recovered after layering ranged from 98% to 119%, indicating that none of the acne medications evaluated induced degradation of WINLEVI when used in combination. "Multimodal topical therapy, incorporating products with multiple mechanisms of action to target multiple mechanisms of disease, has become standard practice in the treatment of acne," commented Dr. Draelos. "In this in vitro study, WINLEVI demonstrated consistent and reproducible stability in the presence of other acne medications. Our findings support the combination of WINLEVI with topical retinoids, topical antibiotics, and/or benzoyl peroxide as a viable acne treatment strategy and complement the encouraging results observed in the sebum reduction and skin of color trials." Skin of Color Data A separate team of researchers presented 16-week interim results from a 56-week, single-center, open-label pilot study evaluating the efficacy and safety of WINLEVI in 10 patients (mean age 24 years) with skin of color (Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, and VI) and moderate-to-severe facial acne. The study met its primary endpoint, with seven (78%) patients achieving an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) at Week 16 (P = 0.008 vs. baseline). The study also met its secondary endpoints at Week 16, including significant reductions in inflammatory (91.8%, P = 0.008), noninflammatory (90.9%, P = 0.009), and total lesions (90.9%, P = 0.009). Investigator- and participant-assessed tolerability parameters were absent or minimal at most time points through Week 16. There were no reports of adverse events during the 16-week interim analysis period. For complete prescribing information please click here. INDICATION WINLEVI (clascoterone) cream 1% is an androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years of age and older. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS: None. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Local Irritation: Pruritus, burning, skin redness or peeling may be experienced with WINLEVI cream. If these effects occur, discontinue or reduce the frequency of application of WINLEVI cream. Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression may occur during or after treatment with WINLEVI. In the pharmacokinetics (PK) trial, HPA axis suppression was observed in 1/20 (5%) of adult subjects and 2/22 (9%) of adolescent subjects at Day 14. All subjects returned to normal HPA axis function at follow-up 4 weeks after stopping treatment. Conditions which augment systemic absorption include use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the use of occlusive dressings. Attempt to withdraw use if HPA axis suppression develops. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity. Hyperkalemia: Elevated potassium levels were observed in some subjects during the clinical trials. Shifts from normal to elevated potassium levels were observed in 5% of WINLEVI-treated subjects and 4% of vehicle-treated subjects. ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions occurring in 7 to 12% of patients are erythema/reddening, pruritus and scaling/dryness. Additionally, edema, stinging, and burning occurred in >3% of patients and were reported in a similar percentage of subjects treated with vehicle. About Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited.

Govt bans 156 medicines including antibiotics, painkillers, multivitamins: Here is the full list

New Delhi: In a significant move aimed at safeguarding public health, the Indian government has banned 156 fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs, including a variety of antibiotics, painkillers, multivitamins, and medications for treating fever and hypertension. This decision marks the largest crackdown on FDCs since 2016, when 344 such drugs were prohibited. The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued a gazette notification on Thursday, officially prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of the banned FDCs. The ban was based on the recommendations of an expert panel that reviewed a total of 324 FDCs. Impact on Pharmaceutical Industry The banned FDCs include popular combinations such as mefenamic acid and paracetamol injections, commonly used for pain relief and fever, and omeprazole magnesium with dicyclomine HCl, used to treat abdominal pain. The ban is expected to impact major pharmaceutical companies, including Sun Pharmaceuticals, Cipla, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Torrent Pharmaceuticals, and Alkem Laboratories.

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY ISSUES UPDATED GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ACNE

Both newly approved and well-established treatments recommended ROSEMONT, Ill., Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting nearly 50 million Americans each year, with symptoms usually beginning in puberty. Acne affects 85% of adolescents and can also often begin or continue in adulthood, especially in women. To help ensure that people with acne get the best possible treatment, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has published updated guidelines of care for the management of acne in adults, adolescents, and children over the age of 9 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Continue Reading "These guidelines provide important updates to the 2016 AAD acne guidelines, including discussion of new topical medications, which are directly applied to the skin, and systemic treatments, which are taken by mouth," said board-certified dermatologist John S. Barbieri, MD, MBA, FAAD, co-chair of the AAD's Acne Guideline Workgroup. "This update provides evidence-based recommendations for dermatologists and other clinicians caring for patients with acne." Acne affects 85% of adolescents and can also often begin or continue in adulthood, especially in women. Post this Updates to the management of acne vulgaris provides 18 evidence-based recommendations for topical, systemic, and physical treatment methods, including newly approved therapeutic options, and 5 good practice statements. Strong recommendations were made for the use of the following: Topical benzoyl peroxide to reduce the amount of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. Topical retinoids (e.g. adapalene, tretinoin, tazarotene, trifarotene) to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Oral antibiotics, such as oral doxycycline, and topical antibiotics to reduce the amount of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and lessen inflammation. Combinations of topical benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, or the above antibiotics. Employing best practices in guideline development, the multidisciplinary workgroup also issued 5 good practice statements. When managing acne with topical medications, the guidelines recommend combining multiple different treatment types, as this can lead to better results. The guidelines recommend limiting use of oral antibiotics when possible to reduce the development of antibiotic resistance and other antibiotic-associated complications. It is recommended that topical and oral antibiotics are used simultaneously with benzoyl peroxide to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. For patients with larger acne bumps, the guidelines recommend injectable corticosteroids as a potential option for more rapid relief of inflammation and pain. For patients with severe acne or for patients who have failed standard treatment with oral or topical therapy, the guidelines recommend isotretinoin. Additionally, the guidelines provide conditional recommendations. Conditional recommendations apply to most patients, but the most appropriate action may differ depending on individual patient factors. Topical clascoterone, which addresses hormonal causes of acne. Topical salicylic acid to unclog pores and exfoliate the skin. Topical azelaic acid to unclog pores, kill bacteria, and fade dark spots that may continue when an acne spot clears. Oral minocycline or sarecycline to reduce the amount of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and lessen inflammation. Hormonal therapies such as combined oral contraceptives or spironolactone to address hormonal causes of acne. Available evidence was insufficient to develop recommendations for procedures such as chemical peels, laser and light-based devices, microneedling, as well as for dietary changes, or alternative therapies such as vitamins or plant-based products. Additionally, a conditional recommendation against adding broadband light, intense pulsed light, to adapalene 0.3% gel. "Board-certified dermatologists are on the forefront of new and exciting advances in the treatment of acne," said Dr. Barbieri. "We are able to offer our patients with acne more options than ever before as we work to address their concerns and determine the most effective treatment plan possible. Just as important, dermatologists must have access to all available therapeutic options." Since there are a variety of treatment options for acne and treatment plans are not one-size-fits-all, it is important to partner with a board-certified dermatologist to decide which options work best for you.
