Acne: Asthma Drug Fails to Help Patients with Acne
The asthma drug Zyflo fails
to help patients with severe
acne, according to a mid-stage
trial carried out by the company
Critical Therapeutics Inc.
The drug, also known as zileuton,
was neither better at controlling
the number of inflammatory
lesions than placebos under
the company statistics.
Over the 12-week trial, patients
treated with Zyflo had an
average reduction of 11.5
inflammatory lesions. That
compared with a reduction
of 9.1 lesions in a group
of other patients taking placebos
- far short of achieving statistical
significance.
Patients treated with placebo
showed a reduction of 16.4
lesions in the placebo group,
but patients treated with
Zyflo showed a mean reduction
in the total number of lesions
of 25.3.
The company stated the medicine
showed a trend of potential
benefit to some patients although
the drug failed the primary
goal of the trial.
Linda Lennox, the company
spokeswoman, told the company
will probably conduct a larger
trial testing the medicine
as an acne treatment, using
information gleaned from the
small recent "proof of concept"
trial.
The company based in Lexington,
Massachusetts, said that it
is continuing to analyze the
data and is working with the
investigators to further interpret
the results.
Zyflo blocks an inflammation-causing
enzyme called 5 lipoxygenase
(5-LO). It was approved by
U.S. regulators in 1996 for
treating asthma patients 12
years of age and older. At
the time, the drug was owned
by Abbott Laboratories Inc.,
which sold it for a number
of years before licensing
it to Critical Therapeutics
in late 2003.
