About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of KD025 [Belumosudil] Treatment in Subjects With Moderately Severe Psoriasis Vulgaris Who Have Failed First-line Therapy

The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of 200 mg of belumosudil administered orally once daily for 28 days.

Read the detailed description

This will be a Phase 2a, open-label, single-arm, safety and tolerability study of belumosudil given daily for treatment of psoriasis.

Eight subjects with moderately severe psoriasis who have failed at least 1 line of systemic therapy will be enrolled.

Treatment Period Eligible subjects who have failed at least 1 line of systemic therapy will be entered and treated for 4 weeks (28 days) with 200 mg of belumosudil given orally once daily (QD).

Subjects will undergo medical history evaluations, physical examinations, vital sign measurements, weight, adverse event assessments, concomitant medication assessments, and laboratory testing including but not limited to blood sample collection for hematology and chemistry, urinalysis, coagulation, lipid panel, electrocardiogram, pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential, testing with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scale and Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scale, and pharmacokinetic sampling.

Follow-up Period:

Visit will occur 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug in the Treatment Period of the study. This visit must be done within ± 3 days of the scheduled visit. The same assessments will be performed as in the Treatment Period.

The duration of the study is 12 weeks: up to 4 weeks for screening, 4 weeks of treatment, and 4 weeks of follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Experiencing Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 200 mg of belumosudil administered PO QD to subjects for treatment of psoriasis

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks:Up to 4 weeks screening (depending on signed informed consent + 4 weeks treatment + 4 weeks follow-up

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Efficacy: Change in Overall PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) From Baseline to Week 4 and Week 8

    The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis.

    The measures are the changes in PASI score at Week 4 from baseline and Week 8 from baseline. Negative changes are favorable; positive changes are unfavorable.

    Measured: 8 weeks: 4-week (28-day) treatment + 4-week (28-day) follow-up

  2. Efficacy: Physician Global Assessment (PGA) at Week 4 and Week 8

    PGA score after treatment with belumosudil 200 mg PO QD at 4 weeks (28 days treatment) and at 8 weeks (additional 4 weeks follow-up).

    Categories: 100% = clear; 75% to 99% clearing (Excellent) = marked improvement, nearly normal skin texture, some erythema may be present; 50% to 74% clear (Good) = moderate improvement, plaque has cleared to point of small scattered papules with normal intervening epidermis; 25% to 49% clearing (Fair) = slight improvement, decrease in scaling and softening of plaque; 0% to 24% clearing (Poor) = little or no change in scaling, erythema, or plaque elevation; Worse

    Measured: 8 weeks: 4-week (28-day) treatment + 4-week (28-day) follow-up

  3. PK: Cmax and Cmin

    Pharmacokinetic measures:

    Cmax = maximum observed plasma concentration; Cmin = minimum observed plasma concentration over 1 dosing period; KD025 = Parent Drug KD025; M1 = Metabolite KD025 M1; KD025 M2 = Metabolite M2.

    Day 1 Cmax: 8 subjects each in KD025 and M2, and 6 subjects in M1. Day 28 Cmax: 4 subjects each in KD025 and M2, and 1 subject in M1.

    Day 1 Cmin: 8 subjects each in KD025 and M2, and 3 subjects in M1. Day 28 Cmin: 4 subjects each in KD025 and M2, and 1 subject in M1.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline (Day 1) and Week 4 (28 days): predose (0), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose

  4. PK: AUC(0-24) and AUC(Inf)

    Pharmacokinetic measures:

    AUC(0-24) = area under concentration time-curve from pre-dose (time 0) to 24 hours post-dose; AUC(inf) = area under concentration time-curve extrapolated from Day 1 to infinity; KD025 = Parent Drug KD025; M1 = Metabolite KD025 M1; KD025 M2 = Metabolite M2.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline (Day 1) and Week 4 (28 days): predose (0), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose

  5. PK: Tmax

    Pharmacokinetic measure:

    Tmax = time of maximum observed plasma concentration. Day 1 Tmax: 7 subjects each in KD025 and M2, and 5 subjects in M1. Day 28 Tmax: 4 subjects each in KD025 and M2, and 1 subject in M1.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline (Day 1) and Week 4 (28 days): predose (0), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose

  6. PK: t(1/2)

    KD025 = Parent Drug KD025; KD025 M2 = Metabolite M2; t(1/2) = apparent terminal elimination half-life

    Measured: Measured at Baseline (Day 1) and Week 4 (28 days): predose (0), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Belumosudil in people with Psoriasis Vulgaris, run by Kadmon Corporation, LLC 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 9 inclusion and 20 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 23 Mar 2022. 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 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 13 Sep 2021). 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?

Number of Subjects Experiencing Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability (time frame: Up to 12 weeks:Up to 4 weeks screening (depending on signed informed consent + 4 weeks treatment + 4 weeks follow-up). 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 23 Mar 2022.
