About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Diacerein and Rhein and the Safety of Diacerein After Maximum Use, Topical Administration of CCP-020 (Diacerein 1% Ointment) to Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB)

A pharmacokinetic (PK) study in 16-20 EB subjects to be allocated to two cohorts. Cohort 1 to include 8-10 subjects (ages 12 yrs and older); Cohort 2 to include 8-10 subjects (ages 6 months-11 yrs, inclusive). Cohort 2 only included subjects 4 yrs and older. Serial PK blood sampling collected on Days 1 and 10. Analyses were performed to determine the concentrations of diacerein and rhein.

Read the detailed description

This was an open-label, single-period study that intended to include subjects with EB consisting of infants/ children (ages 6 months to 11 years, inclusive) and adolescents/ adults (ages 12 years and older). The study included 2 cohorts.

Cohort 1 was to include adolescent/adult subjects with EB (ages 12 years and older);

Cohort 2 was to include infants/children with EB (ages 4 to 11 years, inclusive).

For both cohorts, the study intended to enroll subjects with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), and junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) with lesions encompassing >/=2% BSA. The diacerein application area was >/=5% BSA and included lesioned and non-lesioned skin (if lesions accounted for <5% BSA); however, topical administration was </=30% BSA. On Days 1 and 10, the topical dose of study drug was applied by study staff, and blood was sampled for PK analyses of diacerein and rhein pre-dose and through 8 hours post-application. On Days 2 to 9, study drug was applied to the application area(s) at home. For Cohort 1, trough PK samples were collected on any 2 available days from Days 3 through 9, and study drug was applied after blood draw, while for Cohort 2 trough PK analyses were not performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detectable Plasma Concentrations of Diacerein and Rhein

    Bioanalytical analyses were performed to determine concentrations levels of diacerein and rhein in plasma using validated bioanalytical methods.

    For Cohort 1, blood samples were taken at pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dose.

    For Cohort 2, blood samples were taken at pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dose.

    Trough PK samples were collected on any 2 available days from Days 3 through 9 for Cohort 1 only.

    Summary statistics for each scheduled time were only reported if at least 50% of subjects had quantifiable concentrations.

    Measured: Days 1-10, at select time points per protocol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Diacerein 1% Ointment in people with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, run by Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 3 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 10 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 10 Feb 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?

Detectable Plasma Concentrations of Diacerein and Rhein (time frame: Days 1-10, at select time points per protocol). 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 10 Feb 2020.
