  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Males and females aged 18-65 years inclusive with physician documented history or diagnosis of atopic dermatitis for at least 12 months prior to screening. Chronic AD should be diagnosed by the Eichenfield revised criteria of Hanifin and Rajka (Eichenfield, 2004)
  • Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) of ≥12 and <48.
  • An Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score ≥ 3 at both Screening and Day 0.
  • A mean pruritus score of ≥ 5 on a 0-10 scale over the 7 day Run In (Days -7 to -1)
  • Atopic dermatitis affecting ≥10% BSA

Who cannot join

  • AD of such severity (EASI >48) that the subject could not comply with the demands of the study and/or the subject is not a suitable candidate for a placebo-controlled study
  • Have concurrent skin disease (e.g. acne) of such severity in the study area that it could interfere with the study evaluation or presence of skin comorbidities that may interfere with study assessments.
  • Have an active skin infection or any other clinically apparent infections.
  • Hypersensitivity to mometasone or to any other ingredients contained by the topical corticosteroid product used as rescue medication in the study.
  • Have received phototherapy (e.g. UVA, UVB), or systemic therapy (e.g. immunosuppressants, cytostatics) known or suspected to have an effect on AD, within 4 weeks of the start of the Run In.
  • Have received systemic corticosteroids ([CS] e.g. oral, intravenous, intraarticular, rectal) within 4 weeks of the start of the Run in. Subjects on a stable maintenance dose (over the preceding 3 months) of inhaled or intranasal CS may participate.
  • Were treated with oral antihistamines or topical calcineurin inhibitors or topical steroids within 7 days of starting Run In; intranasal antihistamines for the treatment of allergic rhinitis are acceptable.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group Study to Determine the Effects of 8 Weeks Treatment With Oral ZPL-3893787 (30 mg od x 56 Days) on Pruritus in Adult Subjects With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis

This was a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study in approximately 90 subjects with moderate-severe AD Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) ≥12 and ≤ 48 (0-72 scale). Following a run-in subjects were randomized to receive either oral 30 mg ZPL-3893787 once daily (od) or placebo od for 8 weeks (56 days).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in the Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Pruritus (Worst Itch)

    The participant used the Pruritus NRS to rate his or her worst itch in the previous 12 hours. This was assessed twice daily (in the morning soon after rising and the evening prior to retiring) and recorded in the eDiary. The scale ranges from 0 (no itching) to 10 (itching as bad as can be imagined).

    If only 1 measurement was collected on a particular day, that score was counted as the worst measurement.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 8

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score

    The EASI is a validated tool used to measure the severity and extent of atopic eczema over 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs). The intensity of a representative area of eczema and the approximate percentage affected by eczema are calculated for each region. A representative area of eczema is selected for each body region. The intensity of redness (erythema), thickness (induration, papulation, and edema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin) of eczema is assessed as:

    0 - None

    1. - Mild
    2. - Moderate
    3. - Severe The total score incorporates the extent of body regions affected. Scores range from 0 to 72 with higher scores indicating more severe eczema.

    Total score is calculated by summing the EASI scores of 6 symptoms across 4 body regions

    Measured: Baseline to Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ZPL-3893787 in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Ziarco Pharma Ltd at 17 sites in 4 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 10 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Germany, Poland, United Kingdom, 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 May 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?

Change From Baseline in the Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Pruritus (Worst Itch) (time frame: Baseline to Week 8). 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 10 Jun 2021.
