EVALUATOR CONCLUSION

The objective of the prospective, multicentric, non-comparative clinical study conducted on 53 patients was to evaluate the efficiency of the OGT gel used as a preventive and curative treatment on acne prone patients treated with isotretinoin and likely to present or presenting cheilitis. It proved that, on a preventive level, the OGT gel was efficient in 27% of all observing patients.
On a curative level, the signs of cheilitis significantly decresead as early as month 3 visit and month 5 visit with percentages of patients presenting no increase in signs and a decrease in intensity of the signs as early as month-1 visit up to month-5 visit, for all the signs. As expected, the OGT gel proved more efficient with observing patients.
In the study, only 5 patients presented minor undesirable events that were deemed attributable to the OGT gel and all resulted in full patient recovery with no after effect, on a total of 37 patients who presented 109 adverse events. The majority of adverse events having, in all logic, been attributed to the isotretinoin.’’
