Acne vulgaris is a common occurrence in both young adults and adolescents. The prevalence rates range from 35-90% in adolescents. Moreover, 12% of the women and 3% of the men aged over 25 may also develop the condition. Hence, researchers and key healthcare companies are focused on creating a range of highly effective drugs that cater to a wider cohort of patients. This influences the drug pipeline significantly.

Report Coverage

The Severe Acne VulgarisDrug Pipeline Insight Report by the publisher gives comprehensive insights into severe acne vulgaris drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for severe acne vulgaris. The report includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The severe acne vulgaris pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on patients suffering from severe acne vulgaris.

The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration and ongoing product development activities related to severe acne vulgaris.

Severe Acne Vulgaris Pipeline Outlook

Acne vulgaris is a chronic form of acne, characterized by the formation of inflammatory or non-inflammatory skin lesions. It commonly affects the face, but it may spread to the neck, back or chest in some cases. It is commonly triggered by a bacterial species called Cutibacterium acnes and mostly affects young adults. Common symptoms include excessive sebum production, follicular plugging with keratinocytes and colonization by the bacteria. Hormonal imbalance, high sweating, occlusive cosmetics or skin care can be other causes of acne vulgaris.

Treatment for severe acne vulgaris depends on skin type, area and type of lesions as well as grade of acne. Acne is graded in the severe category when the total lesion count is more than 125, the total inflammatory count is greater than 50 and the total comedo is higher than 100. In October 2023, Bausch Health’s Cabtreo (triple combination gel) for treating acne in individuals aged 12 or above. Such drug approvals are expected to stimulate more research, thereby, impacting the drug pipeline for severe acne vulgaris positively.
