About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Study of the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of TS-022 in Adult Patients With a Diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) With Moderate to Very Severe Pruritus

The purpose and (primary) objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TS-022 in adults with atopic dermatitis who have moderate to very severe pruritus (itching), following a 28-day regimen of twice-daily topical application.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Pruritis Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Patient reported outcome of pruritis measurement (0-100 mm/min-max)on a change in visual analog scale

    Measured: Baseline through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

  2. Safety and Tolerability of TS-022 Topical Lotion as Measured by Participants Who Demonstrated Adverse Events

    Safety assessment of all subjects who received investigational product. Outcome measure is number of subjects with an adverse event. Measures of adverse events in participants included vital signs, laboratory findings, physical exams, electrocardiograms

    Measured: Baseline through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

  3. Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Based on a Dermatologist's Evalution of the Change in Subject's Score of Target Treatment Areas

    investigator assessment of disease status rated on 0-5 scale (0 = clear to 5 = very severe) based on a change in score from baseline to Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

    Measured: baseline through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

  4. Five Point Pruritus Scale for Self-Assessment of Target Treatment Area Based on a Change in Score

    self-assessment using a five point scale of pruritus state based on a change in scale from none (0) to very severe (4), interfering with daily or sleep activities. Subjects will complete the Five-Point Pruritus Scale once at Screening (Visit 1), then twice daily beginning at baseline, which occurs on the morning of Study Day -7 (Visit 2), through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

    Measured: Baseline, which is Day -7 (Visit 2), through Day 36 (Visit 7)

  5. Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Based on a Change in Score of Eruption in Proportionate Body Surface Areas

    The head and neck [10%], trunk [30%], upper extremities [20%] and lower extremities [40%] were assessed separately for erythema (E), infiltration/papulation (I), excoriation (Ex) and lichenification (L) represented by a numeric coded value of (0, No eruption) to (6, 90% - 100% eruption). One score given to each part of the body on a scale from 1-6 based on the four attributes (E, I, Ex, L) and then a proportional average is taken to get a total score of 1-6.

    Measured: baseline through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

  6. Skindex-29 Questionnaire to Measure the Subject's Overall Quality of Life Based on Activities of Daily Living That Affect Change in Emotion (10 to 50 Points), Symptoms (7 to 35 Points) and Functioning (12 to 60 Points) to Skin Over One Week Period.

    Assessment of subject's activities of daily living using the SKINDEX-29 questionnaire to measure the subject's overall quality of life based on a change in scale from baseline. The SKINDEX scoring scale has a range of 29-145. The smaller the number the better the patient feels. The results are the difference of the SKINDEX scoring scale at treatment discharge (day 22) minus baseline (day-7). Hence the results should be negative, as the patient's emotion, symptoms and functioning of the skin should feel better at treatment discharge as opposed to baseline.

    Measured: Study Day -7 through Study Day 22

  7. Number of Participants Who Had Measurable Pruritis Based on a Visual Horizontal Analog Scale

    Pruritis Visual Analog Scale (VAS) based on patient reported outcome of pruritis measurement on a VAS indicating the amount of pruritus (itchiness) experienced from the time of last dose application through the time just before current dose application. Change in pruritus is assessed twice daily beginning at baseline, Study Day -7 (Visit 2), through Study Day 36 (Visit 7). Subjects determine measurable pruritis using a visual horizontal analog scale ranging from "No Itch", even the slightest itch or "Slight Itch", to "Worst Itch Imaginable" to denote the increase in severity of itching.

    Measured: Baseline through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TS022 in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Taisho Pharmaceutical R&D Inc. at 15 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 6 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 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 in Pruritis Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (time frame: Baseline through Study Day 36 (Visit 7)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 Dec 2011.
