About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Determine the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Topical ZPL-5212372 Ointment Administered BID for up to 2 Weeks in Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis.

A Randomised, Adaptive Design, Double-Blind (3rd Party Open), Placebo Controlled, Sequential Group Study to Determine the Safety,Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Twice Daily Application of a Topical ZPL-5212372 (1.0% w/w) Ointment Administered for up to 2 Weeks in Adult Healthy Volunteers and Patients with Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Read the detailed description

This study was a randomised, adaptive design, double blind (3rd party open), placebo controlled, sequential group study in both healthy volunteers and patients with moderate to severe AD. This study was divided into 3 separate, sequential cohorts:

  • Cohort 1 were to assess safety, toleration and pharmacokinetics (PK) with intensive monitoring as in-patients over 7 days of dosing in healthy volunteers.
  • Cohort 2 were to assess safety, toleration and PK with intensive monitoring as in-patients over 7 days of dosing in moderate to severe AD patients.
  • Cohort 3 were to assess efficacy, safety, toleration and PK as out-patients over 14 days of dosing in moderate to severe AD patients.

Subjects received 1.0% (w/w) ZPL-5212372 or matched placebo ointment topically, twice daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in EASI Score in Cohort 3

    The EASI is a validated tool used to measure the severity and extent of atopic eczema (Eczema Area and Severity Index). The body is divided into 4 sections of total skin area: head including neck (10%); arms including extremities (20%); trunk (30%) and legs including extremities (40%). Each area is scored and the 4 scores are combined into the final EASI. The severity parameters are measured on a scale of 0 to 3 (from none to severe). For each section, the percentage area of skin involved with eczema is estimated and transformed into an extent grade from 0 to 6, from 0% of involved skin area with eczema to 90-100% of involved skin area with eczema. The sum of all four severity parameters is calculated for each section of skin and then multiplied by the weight of the respective section. This value is then multiplied by the extent score for that body area. The EASI value can range from 0-72, a higher score indicates more severe disease.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 14

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in EASI Score Over Time in Cohort 3 - Observed Case

    The EASI is a validated tool used to measure the severity and extent of atopic eczema (Eczema Area and Severity Index). The body is divided into 4 sections of total skin area: head including neck (10%); arms including extremities (20%); trunk (30%) and legs including extremities (40%). Each area is scored and the 4 scores are combined into the final EASI. The severity parameters are measured on a scale of 0 to 3 (from none to severe). For each section, the percentage area of skin involved with eczema is estimated and transformed into an extent grade from 0 to 6, from 0% of involved skin area with eczema to 90-100% of involved skin area with eczema. The sum of all four severity parameters is calculated for each section of skin and then multiplied by the weight of the respective section. This value is then multiplied by the extent score for that body area. The EASI value can range from 0-72, a higher score indicates more severe disease.

    Measured: Days 1, 5, 8, 10, and 15

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Summary of EASI-50 and EASI-75 Responders at Week 2 - Cohort 3

    The proportion of subjects who achieved EASI-50 and EASI-75 responses at Week 2 were compared between treatment groups.

    EASI-50 was defined as a ≥50% reduction from baseline in EASI score at Week 2. EASI-75 was defined as a ≥75% reduction from baseline in EASI score at Week 2.

    Measured: Day 14

  2. Percentage of Responders on Investigators Global Assessment in Cohort 3

    The following secondary endpoints were assessed for IGA:

    A subject was considered as having IGA success if they achieved a score of 'Clear' or 'Almost clear'; note, as subjects required a score of ≥3 to enter the study they must have had a reduction of ≥2 from baseline to achieve success A subject was considered as having an IGA response if they achieved a score of 'Clear' or 'Almost clear', or a reduction of ≥2 from baseline IGA was summarized for the FAS with counts and percentages by treatment at each visit.

    Measured: Day 14

  3. Change From Baseline in NRS for Pruritus at Week 2 - Observed Case in Cohort 3

    Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for Pruritus (worst itch). The Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that will be used to assess the subject's worst itch as a result of AD in the previous 24 hours.

    They will be asked the following question:

    On a scale of 0 (No Itching) to 10 (Itching as bad as you can imagine), please rate the WORST itching that you felt over the last 24 hours.

    Measured: Day 1 to day 14

  4. Summary of Patient Global Impression of Change and Logistic Regression of Patient Global Impression of Change in Cohort 3

    Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) The PGIC scores were summarised for the FAS with counts and percentages in each treatment group. All data collected were included.

    The PGIC was dichotomized into responders, defined as responses of 'Very Much Improved', 'Much Improved' or 'Minimally improved' and non-responders (all other responses plus missing data).

    Measured: End of treatment (day 15)

  5. Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area at Week 2 - Observed Case in Cohort 3

    Body Surface Area (BSA). The percentage BSA affected was summarised at each visit, including change from baseline, by treatment group, using the Full Analysis Set.

    Measured: Day 1 to day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ZPL-5212372 1% w/w Ointment BID in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Ziarco Pharma Ltd at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 11 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 5 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

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 5 Apr 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in EASI Score in Cohort 3 (time frame: Day 1 and Day 14). The study lists 2 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 5 Apr 2019.
