About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Open-Label Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Adalimumab in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa - PIONEER (Open-Label Extension)

The purpose of this study to evaluate the long term safety, tolerability and efficacy of adalimumab in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

Read the detailed description

HS is a painful, chronic skin disease characterized by recurrent inflamed nodules and abscesses, which may rupture to form fistulas and subsequent scarring. This study is an open-label extension study available to subjects who participated in a prior adalimumab study who meet all the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria.

Modified Sartorius Score: Change From Baseline to Each Visit for Participants in the EW/EW/EW Analysis Population
The Sartorius Scale is used to quantify the severity of HS. Points are awarded for 12 body areas (left and right axillae, left and right sub/inframammary areas, intermammary area, left and right buttocks, left and right inguino-crural folds, perianal area, perineal area, and other): points were awarded for nodules (2 points for each); abscesses (4 points); fistulas (4 points); scars (1 point); other findings (1 point); and longest distance between two lesions (2-6 points, 0 if no lesions); and if lesions are separated by normal skin (yes-0 points; no-6 points). The total Sartorius score is the sum of the 12 regional scores. Higher scores indicate greater severity of HS. A negative change indicates decrease in severity.

The total Sartorius score is the sum of the 12 regional scores. Higher scores indicate greater severity of HS. A negative change indicates decrease in severity. LOCF: The last completed evaluation from the previous visit was carried forward to impute missing data at later visits.
Modified Sartorius Score: Change From Baseline to Each Visit for Participants in the EW/EOW/EW, EW/PBO/EW, and PBO/PBO/EW Analysis Populations
Time frame: Baseline (in prior phase 3 study) to Entry of M12-555 and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180, and 192
The Sartorius Scale is used to quantify the severity of HS. Points are awarded for 12 body areas (left and right axillae, left and right sub/inframammary areas, intermammary area, left and right buttocks, left and right inguino-crural folds, perianal area, perineal area, and other): points were awarded for nodules (2 points for each); abscesses (4 points); fistulas (4 points); scars (1 point); other findings (1 point); and longest distance between two lesions (2-6 points, 0 if no lesions); and if lesions are separated by normal skin (yes-0 points; no-6 points). The total Sartorius score is the sum of the 12 regional scores. Higher scores indicate greater severity of HS. A negative change indicates decrease in severity. LOCF: The last completed evaluation from the previous visit was carried forward to impute missing data at later visits.
Modified Sartorius Score: Change From Baseline to Each Visit for Participants in the PBO/EW/EW Analysis Population
Time frame: Baseline (in prior phase 3 study) to Entry of Period B in prior phase 3 study and Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180, 192, and 204

Percentage of Participants in the EW/EW/EW Analysis Population Achieving Skin Pain NRS30 - At Worst at Each Visit Among Participants With Baseline Skin Pain NRS At Worst ≥ 3
Time frame: Weeks 2 (first dose of adalimumab in prior phase 3 study), 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180, and 192
The Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was used to assess the worst skin pain and the average skin pain due to HS. Ratings for the 2 items range from 0 (no skin pain) to 10 (skin pain as bad as you can imagine). The assessments were completed on a daily diary by participants before they went to bed and responded to the items based on a recall period of the "last 24 hours." The percentage of participants who achieved at least 30% reduction and at least 1 unit reduction from Baseline in the Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain (NRS30) - at worst at each visit among participants with baseline skin pain NRS - at worst ≥ 3 are presented. Weekly averages of daily assessments were analyzed. LOCF: The last completed evaluation from the previous visit was carried forward to impute missing data at later visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing adalimumab in people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott).

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 4 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 24 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Sep 2017). 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?

Percentage of Participants in the EW/EW/EW, EW/EOW/EW, and EW/PBO/EW Analysis Populations Achieving Clinical Response Per Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) at Each Visit (time frame: Weeks 2 (first dose of adalimumab in prior phase 3 study), 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180, 192, 204, and 216). The study lists 15 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 NCT01635764.

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 24 Jan 2018.
