About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open-label Two-arm Pilot Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Trichuris Suis Ova for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis. Protocol: Psoriasis IIT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CNDO 201Trichuris suis ova (TSO) for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CNDO 201Trichuris suis ova (TSO) for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Psoriasis is driven by T-cell infiltration in the epidermis. The T-cells involved in psoriasis exhibit a Th17-like and a Th1-like cytokine secretion profile. This excess Th17/Th1 response is thought to play a critical role in the development of psoriasis, and reducing Th17/Th1 activity would be a potential way of halting the inflammatory process leading to psoriasis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)

    The PASI score will be calculated within each patient at each protocol-specified time point. Changes and percent changes from pretreatment to each on-treatment time point will then be derived. Mean percent change from pre-treatment to Week 12.

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. psoriasis severity

    Percentage of patients who experience an improvement in disease severity as defined by a 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of psoriasis severity (PASI 50, PASI 75, and PASI 90 response, respectively).

    Measured: week 4

  2. psoriasis severity

    Percentage of patients who experience an improvement in disease severity as defined by a 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of psoriasis severity (PASI 50, PASI 75, and PASI 90 response, respectively).

    Measured: week 8

  3. psoriasis severity

    Percentage of patients who experience an improvement in disease severity as defined by a 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of psoriasis severity (PASI 50, PASI 75, and PASI 90 response, respectively).

    Measured: week 12

  4. Physicians Global Assessment (PGA)

    Percentage of patients with plaque type psoriasis who experience an improvement in disease severity as defined by a PGA ≤ 1.

    Measured: week 4

  5. Physicians Global Assessment (PGA)

    Percentage of patients with plaque type psoriasis who experience an improvement in disease severity as defined by a PGA ≤ 1.

    Measured: week 8

  6. Physicians Global Assessment (PGA)

    Percentage of patients with plaque type psoriasis who experience an improvement in disease severity as defined by a PGA ≤ 1.

    Measured: week 12

  7. Change in Body surface area (BSA)

    Body surface area (BSA) mean and percent change from pre-treatment

    Measured: baseline and week 12

  8. Change in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    DLQI mean (and percent) change from pre-treatment to Week 12

    Measured: baseline and at week 12

  9. safety of TSO

    The safety and tolerability of TSO will be evaluated via the frequency and severity of adverse events, changes in physical examinations, stool cultures, clinical laboratories, and vital signs.

    Measured: up to week 38

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TSO 2500 and TSO 7500 in people with Psoriasis, run by Mark Lebwohl at 1 site 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 18 inclusion and 22 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 14 Jan 2015. 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 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. 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?

Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) (time frame: up to 12 weeks). 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 NCT01836939, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 14 Jan 2015.
