Title
Topical azelaic acid, salicylic acid, nicotinamide, and sulphur for acne [Cochrane Protocol]
Review Question
To assess the effects of topical treatments (azelaic acid, salicylic acid, nicotinamide, and sulphur) for acne.
Study Type Included
We will consider all relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Randomised trials with a cross-over design are eligible. We will exclude cluster-randomised trials and quasi-randomised trials (e.g. trials that allocate by using date of birth, case record number, or alternation).
Condition Being Studied
The Cochrane Skin Group
Participant
We will include participants with acne vulgaris who have been diagnosed based on clinical definition, regardless of age, gender, acne severity, and previous treatments. Studies will also be eligible where participants are diagnosed as having papulopustular, inflammatory, juvenile, or polymorphic acne. Except for neonatal and infantile acne, we will exclude trials in which participants have had a diagnosis of other subtypes of acne variants or acneiform eruptions as listed in Table 2.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Topical azelaic acid, salicylic acid, nicotinamide, and sulphur with any treatment regimen, duration, dose, and delivery mode, compared with:<ol> any topical treatments; placebo; no treatment.</ol> The concomitant use of other topical or oral medications for acne vulgaris must be the same in both intervention arms.
Comparator Control
Any topical treatments; placebo; no treatment.
Main Outcome
<ol> Participants' global self assessment of acne improvement (e.g. measured by a four-point scale: excellent, good, fair, and poor). Withdrawal for any reason. </ol>
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
<ol> Change in lesion counts (total or inflamed and non-inflamed separately). Physicians' global evaluation of acne improvement. Minor adverse events. Quality of life (QoL).</ol> Timing If possible, we will assess treatment effects by grouping the outcomes into short term (up to four weeks), medium term (from four to eight weeks) and long term (over eight weeks). Where there is more than one follow-up point within the same time period, we will use the latest one.
