Azelaic acid has antiinflammatory, antioxidative and antikeratinizing effects. In rosacea skin, azelaic acid decreases cathelicidin levels and kallikrein 5 (KLK5) activity and possibly inhibits toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) expression.1 A 15% gel formulation has been marketed for rosacea, and 20% cream has been available for acne vulgaris. The newer foam formulation consists of an oil- in-water emulsion and was designed to have a higher lipid content than the gel for dry and sensitive skin. Indication(s) Under Review Topical treatment of inflammatory papules and pustules of mild to moderate in This Document rosacea. Dosage Form(s) Under Foam, 15% Review REMS REMS No REMS Postmarketing Requirements See Other Considerations for additional REMS information Pregnancy Rating Category B Executive Summary Efficacy There have been no head-to-head trials comparing the foam and gel formulations of azelaic acid in terms of safety, tolerability and efficacy in the treatment of papulopustular (PP) rosacea.. In two major randomized clinical trials, azelaic acid foam produced small benefits over vehicle foam in achieving Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) treatment success (NNTs of 9.2 and 11.5) and in reducing inflammatory lesion counts.
