Trial summary
Congenital ichthyosis (CI) is a large, heterogeneous family of inherited skin disorders of cornification resulting from an abnormality of skin keratinization, such as scaling and thickening of the skin. Treatment options include keratolytic agents, which can abruptly lead to extensive shedding or peeling of scales. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Bilateral Comparison, Vehicle-Controlled, Safety and Tolerability Study of Topical PAT-001 for the Treatment of Congenital Ichthyosis
Congenital ichthyosis (CI) is a large, heterogeneous family of inherited skin disorders of cornification resulting from an abnormality of skin keratinization, such as scaling and thickening of the skin. Treatment options include keratolytic agents, which can abruptly lead to extensive shedding or peeling of scales. PAT-001 primarily acts as a keratolytic agent; thus, making it a potential drug candidate for the treatment of skin disorders associated with hyperkeratinization, such as CI. The current study intends to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PAT-001 in patients with CI of either the Lamellar or X-Linked subtypes.
Read the detailed description
The management of CI is a life-long endeavor, which remains largely symptomatic (i.e., emollients with or without keratolytics agents) and commonly focused on reducing scaling and/or skin lubrication with both systemic and topical treatments. A first-line therapy includes hydration and lubrication accomplished by creams and ointments containing low concentrations of salt, urea, or glycerol, which increase the water-binding capacity of the horny layer. Addition of keratolytics agents are used to decrease corneocyte cohesiveness, to promote desquamation, and to dissolve keratins and lipids (e.g., α-hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, high dose urea, propylene glycol, N-acetylcysteine, and retinoids). Systemic retinoid treatment is reserved for those patients refractory to topical agents because of long-term adverse effects and teratogenicity.
This is a two part, Phase 2, multicenter, proof-of-concept (POC) study of the safety and tolerability of PAT-001 for the treatment of Congenital ichthyosis (CI) in patients ages 12 years of age and older. Part 1 will be a double-blind, randomized, vehicle controlled, bilateral comparison of two treatments (PAT-001 [0.1% or 0.2%] vs. vehicle) for eight (8) weeks.
Part 2 will be a double-blind, active only treatment comparison of the two PAT-001 concentrations (0.1% or 0.2%) for an additional four (4) weeks. Subjects will have the option to participate in the pharmacokinetics (PK) portion of the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) in Part 1 of Trial (Weeks 0-8)
The number of participants with AEs will be assessed by the investigator and the incidence (severity and causality) of any local and systemic AEs will be reported.
Measured: Day 0 through Day 57 (Weeks 0-8)
Incidence of Local Skin Reactions (LSRs) in Participants Treated With PAT-001 0.1%, 0.2% and/or Vehicle
LSRs including burning/stinging, pain, and pruritus (itch) will be assessed in each Treatment Area using a four-point ordinal scale where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe (based on the investigator's evaluation of the skin reaction) at each clinic visit to allow a comparison between Treatment Groups and Test Articles. Only LSRs that require medical intervention (e.g., prescription medication) or require withholding or reduction in dosing frequency of the test articles will be documented in this LSR Table. Any LSRs that are not listed here will be recorded as AEs.
Measured: Up to Day 84 (Weeks 0-12)
Secondary outcomes (2)
Number of Participants Achieving Improvement to State of Clear, Almost Clear or Mild in the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Using a Five-point Scale at Day 57 (Part 1)
Overall severity of ichthyosis will be graded using a five-point scale Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) based upon a 5 point scale going from 0=clear., 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate to 4=severe. Scoring is based upon investigator evaluation. This is a static morphological scale that refers to a point in time and not a comparison to Baseline.
Measured: Up to Day 57
Number of Participants Achieving an Improvement of at Least 1 Point Score in the Individual Clinical Signs/Symptoms of Erythema, Scaling, Fissuring and Papulation/Lichenification Using a Five-point Scale
Overall severity of erythema (redness), scaling , fissuring (cracks in skin), and papulation/lichenification (skin thickening, increased pigmentation and/or exaggerated skin lines, formation of papules) will be graded using a five-point scale from 0=clear, 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate to 4=severe. This is a static morphological scale that refers to a point in time and not a comparison to Baseline. This scoring is based upon investigator discretion.
Measured: Up to Day 57 (Weeks 0-8)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Congenital ichthyosis (CI) is a large, heterogeneous family of inherited skin disorders of cornification resulting from an abnormality of skin keratinization, such as scaling and thickening of the skin. Treatment options include keratolytic agents, which can abruptly lead to extensive shedding or peeling of scales. PAT-001 primarily acts as a keratolytic agent; thus, making it a potential drug candidate for the treatment of skin disorders associated with hyperkeratinization, such as CI. The current study intends to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PAT-001 in patients with CI of either the Lamellar or X-Linked subtypes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing PAT-001, 0.1% and PAT-001, 0.2% in people with Congenital Ichthyosis, run by Patagonia Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 5 sites 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 29 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites 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. 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 2 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 Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) in Part 1 of Trial (Weeks 0-8) (time frame: Day 0 through Day 57 (Weeks 0-8)). 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 29 Sep 2021.
