What is being measured

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

  1. Change in incidence and severity of application site adverse events

    Measured: screening, weeks 0,2,4 and 8

  2. Change in incidence and severity of all AEs and their relationship to study drug

    Measured: screening, weeks 0,2,4 and 8

  3. Changes from baseline (pre-dose, Day 1) in safety laboratory parameters

    Measured: week 8

  4. Changes from baseline (pre-dose, Day 1) in calcium homeostasis parameters (total serum calcium and albumin-corrected calcium levels, plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH), and serum alkaline phosphatase)

    Measured: week 8

  5. Determination of plasma concentrations of Pefcalcitol and its metabolites

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 15

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of subjects with an IGA score of absence (0) or very mild (1) with a minimum of a 2-grade improvement from baseline

    Measured: week 8

  2. Proportion of subjects who achieved an mPASI 75 from baseline (Week 0) to Week 8, or who achieved an mPASI 50 and a 5-point improvement in the CDLQI from baseline

    Measured: week 8

  3. Proportion of subjects who achieved success in each of the three individual components of the mPASI (scaling, thickness and erythema) from baseline

    Measured: week 8

  4. Proportion of subjects who achieved a 5-point improvement in the CDLQI from baseline

    Measured: week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pefcalcitol ointment, 0.005% in people with Psoriasis, run by Maruho Co., Ltd..

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 16 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 in incidence and severity of application site adverse events (time frame: screening, weeks 0,2,4 and 8). The study lists 5 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 18 Apr 2023.
