Efficacy and Tolerability of a New Facial 2-Mercaptonicotinoyl Glycine-Containing Depigmenting Serum Versus Hydroquinone 4% over 3-Month Treatment of Facial Melasma.
Introduction: Topical treatment with hydroquinone 4% and hydroquinone-based preparations is the gold standard of care for melasma; however, it is limited by complications. 2-Mercaptonicotinoyl glycine (Melasyl™) is a new active ingredient targeting melanin synthesis without impairing the tyrosinase enzyme, with proven efficacy and safety. This study assessed the non-inferiority of a new facial depigmenting serum Mela B3® (MB3), containing 0.5% 2-mercaptonicotinoyl glycine, versus hydroquinone 4%.
Methods: This comparative, non-inferiority, randomized, investigator-blind, parallel-group investigation included adult women with mild-to-severe epidermal or mixed facial melasma. Patients received 3-month treatment with MB3 (twice daily) or hydroquinone 4% (once daily) and applied a broad spectrum SPF 50+/UVA tinted sunscreen (twice daily). Evaluations were conducted at day (D) 0, D28, D56, and D84 of treatment by a dermatologist and the patients. Non-inferiority analysis was performed at D84 on the Modified Melasma Area and Severity Index (mMASI) (non-inferiority margin 1.3). Efficacy assessments included mMASI, Melasma Quality of Life questionnaire (MELASQoL), and Patient Unique Stigmatization Holistic tool in Dermatology (PUSH-D) scores at each visit. Safety and tolerance were evaluated.
Results: The study included 109 women (phototypes I-IV; > 80% had phototypes III-IV). At D84, the estimated difference in mMASI score between MB3 and hydroquinone 4% was 0.46 (95% confidence interval - 0.25-1.17). Both groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements on mMASI from D28 versus baseline. The MELASQoL and PUSH-D scores decreased significantly from D28 in both groups (no difference between the groups). Nevertheless, a significant difference in the PUSH-D score was observed at D28 and D56 in favor of MB3. MB3 showed better tolerability versus hydroquinone 4% at D28 with fewer local skin reactions (6.0% versus 21.4%, respectively; p = 0.0286).
Conclusion: MB3 shows non-inferior efficacy and better tolerability compared with hydroquinone 4%. MB3 is an effective and well-tolerated alternative option for the topical treatment of melasma.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
