  21. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory value), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A TEAE is defined as an AE with an onset date on or after the first application of the study drug.

    Measured: Up to Week 30

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment of Disease Severity (IGA) Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Each Visit

    The IGA is a 0 to 4 point scale. Where, 0 = clear (no signs of psoriasis except for residual hypopigmentation/hyperpigmentation); 1 = almost clear (just perceptible erythema, no induration, and no scaling); 2 = mild (mild erythema, no induration, and mild or no scaling); 3 = moderate (moderate erythema, mild induration, and mild or no scaling); 4 = severe (severe erythema, moderate to severe induration, and scaling of any degree).

    Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 20, 26 and 30 (Follow-up)

  2. Change From Baseline in Pruritus Score at Each Visit

    Pruritus was scored on a 0 to 4 point scale. Where, 0 = none (no-itching); 1 = mild (slight itching, not really bothersome); 2 = moderate (definite itching that is somewhat bothersome without loss of sleep); 3 = severe (intense itching that has caused pronounced discomfort, night rest interrupted); 4 = very severe (very severe itching that has caused pronounced discomfort during the night and daily activities). Positive change from baseline indicate worsening of indication.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 20, 26 and 30 (Follow-up)

  3. Change From Baseline in Percent (%) Body Surface Area (BSA) at Each Visit

    Percent BSA was calculated by modified rules of nines (pediatric participants). Estimate were made from the following for a child up to the age of one year: head and neck total for front and back - 18%; thorax and abdomen-front -18%; thorax and abdomen-back - 18%; each upper limb total for front and back - 9%; each lower limb total for front and back - 14%. For over the age of one year, the relative percentage of BSA changes as follows: the head decreases by 1% per year and the lower limbs increase by 0.5% per year. By the age of ten years, the relative proportions assume the values for adult BSA as follows: perineum becomes 1%; each lower limb becomes a total of 18% front and back; head and neck become 9% total for front and back.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 20, 26 and 30 (Follow-up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Calcitriol in people with Psoriasis Vulgaris, run by Galderma R&D at 16 sites in 5 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 18 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Germany, Canada, Italy, Belgium. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Nov 2019). 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 From Screening in Serum Albumin Levels at Week 4 (time frame: Screening, Week 4). The study lists 21 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 18 Feb 2021.
