About this study

Official title: A Long-term, Open Label, Noncomparative Study to Evaluate the Safety of 0.1% Tacrolimus (FK506) Ointment for Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

Patients who have participated in previous studies with Tacrolimus ointment for atopic eczema are entitled to enter this four-year follow study to investigate the safety of treatment with Tacrolimus ointment 0.1%

Read the detailed description

A long-term, multi-centre, open label, non-comparative phase III study in patients with atopic dermatitis. All centres in Europe which have participated or are still participating in the FG-506-06-12, FG-506-06-18 or FG-506-06-19, FG-506-06-22 or FG-506-06-23 studies will be offered a participation in the protocol. Only patients enrolled by those centres for the above mentioned studies, who have received at least one dose of study medication can be enrolled. Tacrolimus ointment 0.1% will be administered until clearance of the skin occurs. Treatment is restarted after signs and symptoms reoccur. Safety will be assessed from adverse events reported by the patient/parent/guardian or observed by the investigator at the site of application and elsewhere. The safety evaluation will include monitoring of routine hematology and serum chemistry parameters at Baseline/Day 1, Week 1, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, Month 24, Month 30, Month 36, Month 42 and/or at the end of the study (End-of-Study Visit).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tacrolimus ointment 0.1% in people with Dermatitis, Atopic and Eczema, Atopic, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 41 sites in 12 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 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 41 sites in France, Germany, United Kingdom, Finland, Spain and 7 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Incidence of adverse events (time frame: 4 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00560378, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Sep 2014.
