What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Subjects Experiencing AEs

    The number of subjects experiencing AEs will be calculated for each treatment group.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurring after the start of IMP administration are summarized. The number of subjects with events, the number of events is obtained for all the TEAEs reported.

    Measured: Week 0-4

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Responder Rate of Investigator's Global Assessment(IGA) of Disease Severity at Week4

    The investigator or subinvestigator assessed the skin symptoms using IGA. The investigator or subinvestigator scored the severity (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 =mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe/very severe) of the overall symptoms of the treatment area (erythema, infiltration, papules, effusion and scab formation) from baseline to Week4. Incidence of success in IGA was defined as the rate of subjects whose IGA score was 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and had improved by at least 2 grades (responders) from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4

  2. Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score

    The investigator or sub investigator assessed the symptoms of AD using EASI. EASI's minimum and maximum scores are 0 and 72 scores respectively. The higher the EASI score is, the more severe the symptoms of AD, and a negative change from the baseline means improvement and a positive change means worsening. The investigator or sub investigator scored the severity (0-3 points) and affected BSA (%) based on the 4 symptoms (erythema, infiltration/papules, excoriation, and lichenification) on the 4 body regions (face, neck and head ; upper limbs ;; and lower limbs). Number of participants analyzed represents number of participants with data at both Baseline and Week4. Participants who have no data were excluded.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  3. Change From Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) for Pruritus Score

    The investigator or subinvestigator evaluated the level of pruritus based on VAS. The subjects aged 7 to 14 years old marked the point of pruritus intensity during the last 24 hours on a 0 to 100mm VAS, with 0 being no pruritis to 100 being very severe pruritis.For subjects aged 2 to 6 years, this would not be evaluated. The negative value showed the degree of improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  4. Change From Baseline in Verbal Rating Scale(VRS) for Pruritus Score

    The investigator or subinvestigator evaluated the pruritus intensity based on VRS. The subjects aged 7 to 14 years old evaluated the pruritus intensity according to the following criteria. The subjects recorded the level of pruritus and the time and date of evaluation in a pruritus diary.

    0 : None

    1. : Mild
    2. : Moderate
    3. : Severe For subjects aged 2 to 6 years, this would not be evaluated. The negative value showed the degree of improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Hour 156

  5. Change From Baseline in Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure(POEM) Score

    The investigator or sub investigator evaluated eczema according to the POEM. The subjects answered 7 questions about their eczema by 0-4 points per question. The POEMS's minimum and maximum scores are 0 and 28 scores respectively. The higher the POEM score is, the more severe the symptoms are, and a negative change from the baseline means improvement and a positive change means worsening. If it is difficult for subjects to answer the questions, their parents answered them instead. Number of participants analyzed represents number of participants with data at both Baseline and Week4. Participants who have no data were excluded.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  6. Change From Baseline in Percentage Affected Body Surface Area

    The investigator or subinvestigator drew the affected BSA (range of skin eruption at the time of examination) on the human body drawing to determine the affected areas (%) on the respective 4 body regions (face, neck, and head; upper limbs; trunk; and lower limbs). One palm of the subject corresponds to 1% BSA. The negative value showed the degree of improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8, 16, 24

  7. Mean (SD) OPA-15406 Plasma Trough Concentrations at week1

    The plasma concentration of OPA-15406 was measured at Week 1. On the day of measurement, the subjects visited the trial site without morning Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration.

    Measured: Week 1

  8. Mean (SD) OPA-15406 Plasma Trough Concentrations at week4

    The plasma concentration of OPA-15406 was measured at Week 4. On the day of measurement, the subjects visited the trial site without morning Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration.

    Measured: week4

  9. Mean (SD) Normalized OPA-15406 Plasma Trough Concentrations by Dose Derived From %BSA at week1

    The plasma concentration of OPA-15406 was measured at Week 1. On the day of measurement, the subjects visited the trial site without morning Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration.Each plasma concentration was normalized by dose.

    Measured: week1

  10. Mean (SD) Normalized OPA-15406 Plasma Trough Concentrations by Dose Derived From %BSA at week4

    The plasma concentration of OPA-15406 was measured at Week 4. On the day of measurement, the subjects visited the trial site without morning Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration.Each plasma concentration was normalized by dose.

    Measured: week4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing OPA-15406 in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 4 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 Jul 2020. 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 Japan. 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 23 Jul 2020). 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?

The Number of Subjects Experiencing AEs (time frame: Week 0-4). 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 Jul 2020.
