Clinical trials

This is a 4-part study. Part A will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation of single ascending doses (SAD) to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers of TVB-3567 administered orally in healthy participants. Part B will be a randomized, open-label, 2-way crossover investigation to assess the effect of food on a single dose TVB-3567 administered orally in healthy participants. Parts C and D will be randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigations of multiple ascending doses (MAD) to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD/biomarkers of TVB-3567 administered orally in healthy participants without and with moderate to severe acne, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of denifanstat compared with matching placebo in participants with moderate to severe acne vulgaris who are ≥12 years of age. After the 12-week treatment phase, a subset of approximately 530 participants will have the option to consent to an open-label extension phase for an additional 40 weeks of treatment.
