About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled, Proof of Concept Comparison Study of the Safety and Efficacy of DUR-928 Topical Solution With Occlusion in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Plaque Psoriasis

This Phase 2 study has been designed to determine and compare the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of DUR-928 topical solution with that of the vehicle topical solution when applied once daily for approximately four weeks in subjects with plaque psoriasis. Subjects will be instructed (randomly assigned) to apply DUR-928 solution to a target lesion on one arm and vehicle solution to a target lesion on the opposite arm once daily for up to four weeks. Subjects will occlude the treated areas for approximately two hours after each application.

Being tested
DUR-928 Topical Solution, Vehicle Topical Solution

What is being measured

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

  1. The Change From Baseline as Assessed on the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score.

    The IGA of the Target Plaques will be determined on a 5-point scale. 0=Clear; 1=Almost Clear; 2=Mild; 3=Moderate; 4=Severe

    Measured: Up to Day 57 (assessed at Baseline, and Weeks 1,2,3,4,5,7,8, change from baseline to week 4 and 8 reported)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The Change From Baseline as Assessed on the Clinical Signs of Psoriasis (Plaque Elevation, Scaling, and Erythema)

    Each clinical sign (plaque elevation, scaling, erythema) will be graded on a 5-point scale.0=Clear; 1=Almost Clear; 2=Mild; 3=Moderate; 4=Severe.

    Measured: Up to Day 57 (assessed at Baseline, and Weeks 1,2,3,4,5,7,8, change from baseline to week 4 and 8 reported)

  2. The Change From Baseline as Assessed on the Local Psoriasis Severity Index (LPSI)

    The LPSI is a sum of all three parameters (sum range of 0-12, with 12 being a worse outcome). Three parameters are plaque elevation, scaling, and erythema, each rated 0-4, 0=clear to 4=severe.

    Measured: Up to Day 57 (assessed at Baseline, and Weeks 1,2,3,4,5,7,8, change from baseline to week 4 and 8 reported)

  3. The Change From Baseline as Assessed by the Target Plaque Area.

    The surface areas of Target Plaque A (plaque on left arm) and Target Plaque B (plaque on right arm) will be measured.

    Measured: Up to Day 57 (assessed at Baseline, and Weeks 2,4,8, change from baseline to week 4 and 8 reported)

  4. The Change From Baseline as Assessed on the Itch Numeric Rating Scale (I-NRS) for Pruritus.

    The I-NRS score is based on an 11-point scale where 0 represents "no itching" and 10 represents "worst itch imaginable."

    Measured: Up to Day 57 (assessed at Baseline, and Weeks 2,4,8, change from baseline to week 4 and 8 reported)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DUR-928 Topical Solution in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Durect at 5 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 2 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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. 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 2 Sep 2022). 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 Change From Baseline as Assessed on the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score. (time frame: Up to Day 57 (assessed at Baseline, and Weeks 1,2,3,4,5,7,8, change from baseline to week 4 and 8 reported)). 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 2 Sep 2022.
