Who cannot join

  • Any subject who meets any of the following criteria will not qualify for entry into the study:
  • Women who are pregnant, lactating, planning to become pregnant, or women of child-bearing potential who have not successfully been using the same medically acceptable contraceptive methods over the previous 3 months, eg, oral contraceptive agents, intrauterine device (IUD), and barrier method plus spermicide.
  • Clinical diagnosis of guttate, pustular, erythrodermic, or other non-plaque forms of psoriasis.
  • Use of emollients or moisturizers on areas to be treated within 24 hours prior to Visits 1 or 2.
  • Use of topical antipsoriatic therapy (including topical retinoids, corticosteroids, or vitamin D analogs) on the areas to be treated within 2 weeks prior to Visit 2.
  • Received systemic immunomodulatory therapy to treat psoriasis (eg, methotrexate, cyclosporine, alefacept, etanercept, infliximab, efalizumab, adalimumab) within 12 weeks prior to Visit 2.

About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Efficacy and Wafety of Topical ALT-2074 (SYI-2074) for Treatment of Chronic

The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of topical ALT-2074 applied twice daily for 28 days for treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis in adult subjects.

The secondary objective will be to evaluate the safety of topical ALT-2074 applied twice daily for 28 days for treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis in adult subjects.

Tertiary objectives will be to provide visual documentation of the improvement of psoriatic plaques treated with ALT-2074 using digital photography, and to determine the extent of systemic absorption of topically applied ALT-2074 based on a pharmacokinetic measurement of blood concentration.

1Active comparatorTwo psoriatic plaques of similar surface area and severity will be identified for each subject. ALT-2074 will be applied topically twice daily to 1 of the 2 target plaques, and the placebo control to the other plaque for a period of 28 days in amounts sufficient to cover the entire surface area of the target plaque, extending to 1 cm outside of the plaque border.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 4,4-dimethyl-benziso-2H-selenazine in people with Psoriasis, run by Synvista Therapeutics, Inc at 3 sites in Israel.

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 10 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.
