About this study

This study seeks to show whether there is a benefit of prescribing Enstilar in the treatment of patients with moderate plaque type psoriasis. Subjects will receive study treatment of Enstilar foam.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 20 subjects from 3 sites will be enrolled in this open-label study. Subjects will receive Enstilar foam and all adverse events and concomitant medications will be recorded.

Subjects will attend a screening visit/baseline visit and those with plaque-type psoriasis and bilateral symmetric psoriatic plaques will have a target lesion identified on knees or elbows and subjects will receive study treatment as outlined above.

Enstilar will be initiated daily for the entire study period of four weeks. Study visits will occur as follows: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4. Study assessments at each visit will be Body Surface Area (BSA,) Physicians Global Assessment (PGA,) Target lesion size, Total Lesion Severity Score (TLSS) and standard medical assessments. There will be standard medication/treatment and washout periods.

NOTE: The original study protocol dated december 20, 2017, was designed to compare the effect of Enstilar versus vehicle for the treatment of plaque psoriasis at a 1:1 ratio. A protocol amendment on March 20, 2018 eliminated the chance of placebo and made this an open-label study of the effects of Enstilar for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Enstilar foamExperimentalSubjects will receive calcipotriene hydrate/betamethasone dipropionate (Enstilar) foam and apply to affected areas once daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Physicians Global Assessment (PGA) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4

    Physician assessment of disease severity. 0=Clear, 1=Almost Clear, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate

    Measured: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Lesion Size From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4

    Size of target lesion recorded as height in cm x length in cm

    Measured: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4

  2. Change in Body Surface Area (BSA) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4

    Percent of total body surface affected by psoriasis, calculated by multiplying the percent of a specified body area affected by psoriasis x the percent of total body surface area represented by the specified area (where head = 10% of total body surface, trunk = 30%, upper limbs = 20%, lower limbs = 40%)

    Measured: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4

  3. Change in TLSS (Total Lesion Severity Score) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 - Assessment of Erythema

    A combined score of disease severity of target lesion which includes assessment of erythema (0=none, 1= slightly pink, 2=pink, 4=red, 6=very red, 8=extremely red), induration (0=no evidence of plaque above normal skin level, 2=slight definite elevation above normal skin level, 4=moderate elevation with rounded or sloped edges to plaque, 6=marked elevation with hard sharp edges to plaque), and scaling (0=no evidence of scaling on lesion, 2= mild mainly fine scales with some of lesion at least partially covered, 4=moderate somewhat coarser scale and most of lesion at least partially covered, 6= severe coarse thick scales and rough surface covering virtually all of lesion, 8=very severe coarse very thick scales and rough surface covering entire lesion

    Measured: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4

  4. Change in TLSS (Total Lesion Severity Score) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 - Assessment of Induration

    A combined score of disease severity of target lesion which includes assessment of erythema (0=none, 2=pink, 4=red, 6=very red, 8=extremely red), induration (0=no evidence of plaque above normal skin level, 1=very slight, 2=slight definite elevation above normal skin level, 3=mild, 4=moderate elevation with rounded or sloped edges to plaque, 6=marked elevation with hard sharp edges to plaque), and scaling (0=no evidence of scaling on lesion, 2= mild mainly fine scales with some of lesion at least partially covered, 4=moderate somewhat coarser scale and most of lesion at least partially covered, 6= severe coarse thick scales and rough surface covering virtually all of lesion, 8=very severe coarse very thick scales and rough surface covering entire lesion

    Measured: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4

  5. Change in TLSS (Total Lesion Severity Score) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 - Assessment of Scaling

    A combined score of disease severity of target lesion which includes assessment of erythema (0=none, 2=pink, 4=red, 6=very red, 8=extremely red), induration (0=no evidence of plaque above normal skin level, 2=slight definite elevation above normal skin level, 4=moderate elevation with rounded or sloped edges to plaque, 6=marked elevation with hard sharp edges to plaque, 8=very marked elevation with very hard sharp edges to plaque), and scaling (0=no evidence of scaling on lesion, 2= mild mainly fine scales with some of lesion at least partially covered, 4=moderate somewhat coarser scale and most of lesion at least partially covered, 6= severe coarse thick scales and rough surface covering virtually all of lesion, 8=very severe coarse very thick scales and rough surface covering entire lesion)

    Measured: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enstilar in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Derm Research, PLLC at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 13 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 26 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 26 Aug 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?

Change in Physicians Global Assessment (PGA) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 (time frame: screening/baseline, week 2, week 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 26 Aug 2020.
