About this trial
This Phase 2 study aims to evaluate whether Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition with remibrutinib can produce a clinically meaningful reduction in inflammatory lesions in adults with moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea, while also assessing safety and tolerability of remibrutinib in this indication.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study.
Adult ≥18 years with a clinical diagnosis of PPR.
Moderate-to-severe disease defined by a modified Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 3 or 4
The presence of 15 - 60 inflammatory (papular/pustular, max. 2 nodular) facial lesions at screening, with at least 15 lesions present at Day 1 (Baseline).
Disqualifiers
Presence of more than 2 nodular inflammatory lesions
Any active facial dermatoses or skin disease or condition that may interfere with assessment of PPR (e.g., seborrheic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, acne, acneiform eruptions from biologic medications, steroid-induced dermatitis resembling rosacea or acne).
History of hypersensitivity to any of the study treatments or its excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes
Use of biologics within five half-lives prior to screening or until the expected pharmacodynamic (PD) effect has returned to baseline, whichever is longer; or longer if required by local regulations

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Absolute change from baseline in facial inflammatory lesion count
The facial inflammatory lesion count is defined as the sum of papules, pustules, and nodules present on the face. Lesions are visually counted across the full facial area (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin). A negative value indicates a reduction in lesions (clinical improvement), as lower counts reflect less inflammatory activity.
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of participants with Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA,modified scale without erythema) grade 0 or 1, with at least 2 grade reduction from baseline
The Investigator's Global Assessment is a clinician-reported outcome using a 5-point ordinal scale (0-4). Higher scores indicate more severe disease; lower scores indicate improvement. 0 = Clear 1. = Near clear 2. = Mild 3. = Moderate 4. = Severe
Percentage change from baseline in facial inflammatory lesion count
The facial inflammatory lesion count is defined as the sum of papules, pustules, and nodules present on the face. Lesions are visually counted across the full facial area (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin). Lower values indicate fewer lesions. A reduction from baseline represents clinical improvement.
