About this study

Official title: A Randomized (1:1), Double-blind, Parallel, Placebo-controlled Exploratory Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Systemic (po) Application of MP1032 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis

This Phase IIa study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of oral MP1032 in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis over a period of 6 weeks. Secondary endpoints to evaluate clinical parameters for psoriasis during the 6 week treatment period and a 4-week follow up will provide an opportunity to perform a first assessment of oral MP1032's clinical efficacy in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis.

The study population will consist of 44 enrolled (40 completed) patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Patients must be able to provide written consent and meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled exploratory pilot study to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of systemic oral (po) administration of 100 mg MP1032 bid in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

The study design consists of a 28-day screening/run-in period, a 42-day treatment period, 1 day for the End of Treatment visit, and a 28-day follow-up period. Forty-four patients who meet the entry criteria will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 100 mg MP1032 or placebo orally twice daily for 42 days. The goal is to have 40 patients (20 in each treatment group) complete the study.

Pharmacokinetic sampling will occur on 3 designated study days. Safety will be monitored from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until the last follow-up visit on Day 71.

Efficacy will be assessed on 6 designated study days using the following assessments: PASI, PGA, DLQI, mNAPSI, and EQ-5D 5L (VAS).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MP1032 in people with Psoriasis and Plaque Psoriasis, run by MetrioPharm AG at 4 sites in Germany.

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 19 inclusion and 30 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 23 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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 23 Jan 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?

Safety - Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) - Number of TEAEs (time frame: Continuously from Treatment Start until the last follow-up visit on Study Day 71). The study lists 9 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 23 Jan 2019.
