About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter, Dose Finding Study of Oral AEB071 Assessing Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Response and a Function of Dose and Treatment Duration (Primary Outcome) in Patients With Plaque Psoriasis

This study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data of several doses of AEB071 so that the optimal dose and treatment duration can be chosen for testing in later studies in patients with plaque psoriasis (with a disease severity such that systemic treatment is justified). The treatment free Follow-up Period is designed to provide additional safety data and information on disease recurrence after the last dose of the study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in plaque psoriasis as assessed by PASI response or PASI 75 (a patient that has an improvement from baseline PASI of at least 75%)

    Measured: to 12 weeks treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. ECG and laboratory parameters, rates of AEs, and percentage of patients requiring interruption or discontinuation of study drug due to AEs

    Measured: up to 12 weeks treatment

  2. change in PASI and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of psoriasis in patients receiving AEB071 compared with placebo

    Measured: up to 12 weeks treatment

  3. disease recurrence (PASI, IGA) and the effect of treatment withdrawal (including AEs) in the treatment-free Follow-up Period

    Measured: in the treatment-free Follow-up Period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AEB071 in people with Moderate and Severe Plaque Psoriasis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 40 sites in 9 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 5 inclusion and 14 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 22 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in United States, Germany, Italy, Australia, Turkey (Türkiye) and 4 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Change from baseline in plaque psoriasis as assessed by PASI response or PASI 75 (a patient that has an improvement from baseline PASI of at least 75%) (time frame: to 12 weeks 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 22 Dec 2020.
