About this study

Official title: Use of Humanized CD25 (Anti-TAC) Monoclonal Antibody/ Placebo to Prevent Relapse of Psoriasis Vulgaris Following NBUVB Therapy

This study is designed to study disease relapse after NBUVB and how the administration of Daclizumab/placebo alters disease relapse.

Read the detailed description

The first part of the study involves NB-UVB light treatment, a well-established treatment to treat psoriasis. In the second part, we are testing a drug known as Humanized CD25 Monoclonal Antibody (anti-TAC) or placebo to prevent disease relapse. Anti-TAC is an injectable medicine that is also designed to treat psoriasis by blocking a part of the immune system that we believe contributes to the disease.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DaclizumabDrug

    Also called anti-TAC

    Humanized anti-CD25 antibodies (anti-TAC), or placebo (saline solution), will be given as intravenous infusions on the following schedule: 2 mg/kg initially (maximum dose 200 mg) infusion given over 60 minutes, followed by a 1 mg/kg (maximum of 100 mg) infusion given over 30 minutes every two weeks thereafter for a total of 8 doses.

  • NB-UVBDevice

    total body NB-UVB at a dose that is 50% of the MED. Patients are treated 3-7 times per week, with increasing doses at every treatment if no burning occurs. This is continued until for a total of 20 ± 2 treatments total.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. time to disease relapse

    Measured: After a course of NB-UVB treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Histologic assessment of disease activity at relapse for measures of epidermal hyperplasia, leukocyte infiltration, and expression of cytokine-induced inflammatory proteins.

    Measured: before and after NB-UVB treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Daclizumab and NB-UVB in people with Psoriasis, run by Rockefeller University at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

time to disease relapse (time frame: After a course of NB-UVB treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2009.
