About this study

Official title: A Long-term, Non-comparative Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Tacrolimus Oint¬Ment in Paediatric Patients

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 0.03% tacrolimus ointment as long-term treatment in paediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

This is a long-term, multi-centre, non-comparative phase II study. All centres participating in the FG-506-06-32 pharmacokinetics study will be offered the protocol as a follow-up. Only patients enrolled by those centres for the above mentioned study, who applied at least one dose of study medication and benefited from treatment with 0.03% tacrolimus ointment, can be enrolled.

During episodes of active disease, a thin coat of ointment is applied on each lesion. In the first three weeks, frequency of application is twice a day; after three weeks treatment is continued once a day. All atopic dermatitis lesions are treated until clearance (i.e. itch has gone). In case of a flare-up or worsening treatment twice daily treatment is re-started for three weeks and thereafter reduced to once daily.

Safety is assessed from adverse events reported by the patient and/or his parents or observed by the investigator at the site of application and elsewhere. The safety evaluation includes monitoring of routine haematology and serum chemistry parameters. Blood samples are analysed by local laboratories. Blood samples are taken to determine concentrations of tacrolimus.

Height, weight and pulse of the patient are recorded at each visit.

Efficacy is assessed by physician's global evaluation of clinical response, patient's parent/guardian's assessment of global response, physician's assessment of individual signs and the affected area assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tacrolimus Ointment 0.03% in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 8 sites in 5 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 1 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Canada, Ireland, Finland, Latvia, United Kingdom. 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 phase mean?

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?

Assess safety from observations of adverse events, laboratory examinations, pulse, height, weight and tacrolimus blood concentrations (time frame: 24 months). 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 1 Sep 2014.
