About this study

Official title: A Single-Center, Open-Label Phase 2a Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of GR-MD-02 for the Treatment of Patients With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis

Study GT-030 is a phase 2a, single-center, open-label study of subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Read the detailed description

The overall objective is to establish the safety and efficacy of GR-MD-02 in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Primary objective:

The objective is to evaluate the number of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who have 75% improvement in Psoriasis Activity Severity Index (PASI-75) following 12 weeks of therapy with GR-MD-02

Secondary objectives:

  • To determine the PASI-50 and PASI-100 scores in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis following the first 12 weeks of therapy with GR-MD-02
  • To determine the PASI-50, PASI-75, and PASI-100 scores in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis following an additional 12 weeks of therapy (total 24 weeks) with GR-MD-02
  • To determine the durability of response to therapy in responders over a one year period following the end of therapy
  • To determine whether there is any change in disease status of patients who also have psoriatic arthritis
  • To determine the incidence of adverse events and vital sign and laboratory abnormalities during study treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With PASI-75, or a 75% Improvement From Baseline in PASI Score

    The primary endpoint will be the number of participants with PASI-75, or a 75% improvement from baseline (day 1, prior to first infusion) in PASI score as assessed at the 30 day follow up visit.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GR-MD-02 in people with Psoriasis, run by Galectin Therapeutics Inc. 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 8 inclusion and 18 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 7 Sep 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 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 7 Sep 2020). 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 Participants With PASI-75, or a 75% Improvement From Baseline in PASI Score (time frame: 6 months). 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 7 Sep 2020.
