Trial summary

The proposed exploratory study aims to understand the in vivo skin distribution properties of subcutaneously (s.c.) administered AIN457 in psoriatic and healthy skin using open flow microperfusion (OFM). The data of this study will help to understand the mode of action of AIN457 in its target tissue. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study to Investigate the Distribution of Secukinumab (AIN457) Into Dermal Interstitial Fluid Using Open Flow Microperfusion After a Single Subcutaneous Administration of 300 mg in Healthy Subjects and Psoriatic Patients

The proposed exploratory study aims to understand the in vivo skin distribution properties of subcutaneously (s.c.) administered AIN457 in psoriatic and healthy skin using open flow microperfusion (OFM). The data of this study will help to understand the mode of action of AIN457 in its target tissue.

It aims to establish a technique assessing in vivo distribution of AIN457 and its metabolites in human dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) and exploring a potential pharmacodynamic effect in situ. In addition, the study will further evaluate safety and local tolerability of subcutaneously administered AIN457 and explore dermal interstitial fluid skin levels of potential disease relevant biomarkers.

The study is divided into two parts - Part I with 8 healthy volunteers (HV) to validate the method is completed and Part II with 8 psoriasis patients will start based on the outcome of Part I.

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount (ng/ml) of AIN457 in dermal interstitial fluid.

    Distribution of AIN457 into dermal interstitial fluid after single subcutaneous administration of AIN457 in healthy subjects and in psoriatic patients

    Measured: Day 8

  2. Amount (ng/ml) of AIN457 in dermal interstitial fluid.

    Distribution of AIN457 into dermal interstitial fluid after single subcutaneous administration of AIN457 in healthy subjects and in psoriatic patients

    Measured: Day 15

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of adverse events to measure Safety of subcutaneously administered AIN457 in healthy volunteers and psoriatic patients

    Safety of AIN457 s.c. injection will be documented as numbers of adverse event.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. Part I only: concentration of sinistrin in serum vs. dermal interstitial fluid to confirm the ability of sinistrin to serve as reference to quantify AIN457 in dermal interstitial fluid.

    Concentration of sinistrin in serum compared to dermal interstitial fluid.

    Measured: Day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing secukinumab (AIN457) in people with Healthy and Psoriasis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Austria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 8 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 1 site in Austria. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Amount (ng/ml) of AIN457 in dermal interstitial fluid. (time frame: Day 8). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01539213, 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 8 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
