About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerabililty of RVT-501 Topical Ointment in Pediatric Patients With Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

This is a multi-center, randomized, vehicle controlled, double-blind Phase 2 study in pediatric patients age 2-17 years old with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy - Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score

    Efficacy will be assessed by determining the proportion of patients who achieve an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1 and at least a 2-point improvement in IGA at Week 4. The IGA will be assessed at every study visit. The IGA is a 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity and will be determined according to the following categories: 0-clear; 1-almost clear; 2-mild disease; 3-moderate disease; 4-severe disease.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Efficacy - Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) score

    Efficacy will be assessed by determining the proportion of patients who achieve a 50% reduction in Eczema Area Severity Index score (EASI-50) at Week 4.The EASI will be assessed at every study visit. It quantifies the severity of a patient's atopic dermatitis based on both lesion severity and the percent of body surface area affected. The EASI is a composite score ranging from 0-72 that takes into account the degree of erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification (each scored from 0 to 3 separately) for each of four body regions, with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region relative to the whole body.

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Efficacy - Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Efficacy will be assessed as change from Baseline to Week 4 in peak pruritus as measured with the 24-hour Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Peak Pruitus NRS will be measured at each visit. The assessment consists of a patient-rated scale of 0-10, where 0 is "No itch" and 10 is the "Worst itch possible."

    Measured: 28 days

  4. Efficacy - Whole body surface area (BSA) affected

    This exploratory endpoint will be evaluated as the change in total score from Baseline at all visits in whole body BSA (body surface area) affected. Whole body BSA affected will be assessed at every visit.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Frequency and severity of adverse events (local and systemic)

    Adverse events will be coded using the most current release of MedDRA® (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities). The number and proportion of subjects with adverse events will be summarized by treatment, system organ class, and preferred term for all adverse events, all adverse events considered by the investigator to be related to study drug, all serious adverse events, and all adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Plasma concentrations of RVT-501

    PK samples will be collected only at the Week 1 visit in 2-11 year old patients. RVT-501 will be measured in plasma by validated assay to confirm exposure.These plasma concentrations will be listed by metabolite, subject, treatment, and time; and will be summarized by analyte and time.

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Plasma concentrations of M11 metabolite

    PK samples will be collected only at the Week 1 visit in 2-11 year old patients. The M11 metabolite will be measured in plasma by validated assay to confirm exposure. These plasma concentrations will be listed by metabolite, subject, treatment, and time; and will be summarized by metabolite, treatment and time.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RVT-501 0.5% ointment in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Dermavant Sciences GmbH at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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 39 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 19 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy - Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 4 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 19 Jul 2018.
