ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07366229
What this study is testing
What is MPN-coated engineered Lactobacillus reuteri cream?
MPN-coated engineered Lactobacillus reuteri cream is an investigational medicine, given as a treatment applied to the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for acne.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- A growing body of evidence suggests that the development and progression of acne are closely linked to an imbalance in the skin's microbial community. Compared to healthy skin, the composition and function of the microbiota in acne lesions are significantly altered.

- Time commitment: about 2 weeks
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
