About this study

Official title: Open Label Evaluation of the Adrenal Suppression Potential and Pharmacokinetic Properties of Twice Daily Halobetasol Propionate Foam, 0.05% in Subjects 12 to Less Than 18 Years of Age With Plaque Psoriasis Receiving Two Weeks of Treatment

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Halobetasol Propionate (HBP) foam, 0.05% in subjects aged 12 through less than 18 years with plaque psoriasis in order to check the safety, the potential to suppress the adrenal glands and the degree to which the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 4 (for US site only, Phase 2 for non-US sites), open label, multicenter study of halobetasol propionate (HBP) Foam, 0.05% in male and female subjects who are 12 to less than 18 years of age with stable plaque psoriasis. Twenty-four subjects with stable plaque psoriasis on at least 10% of their body surface area (BSA) (excluding the face, scalp, groin, axillae, and other intertriginous areas), who fulfill the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled at multiple study sites in the US and Europe. All subjects are to have a Cosyntropin Stimulation Test (CST) to assess their (hypothalmic pituitary adrenal) HPA axis response at Visit 1/Screening initiated between 7 and 9 AM. Enrollment into the treatment phase of the study will be timed such that the Screening CST is performed a minimum of 20 days before Visit 2/Baseline. At Visit 2/Baseline, eligible subjects with normal adrenal function will be eligible to participate in the study.

The primary objective of the study is to assess safety, not efficacy. Safety will be determined by assessing the adrenal suppression potential and the PK properties of HBP Foam, 0.05% applied twice daily in male and female subjects who were 12 to less than 18 years of age with stable plaque psoriasis.

Other safety endpoints include plasma levels of HBP. Trough HBP concentrations in plasma on day 8 and 15 will be calculated and summarized. Efficacy will also be noted utilizing the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scale and percent BSA treated and affected with disease to assess and document any changes observed with regard to IGA and percent BSA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects to Exhibit Adrenal Suppression as Measured by a Cosyntropin Stimulation Test

    A subject is considered to have adrenal suppression evidence if post cosyntropin stimulation lab draw result is less than or equal to 18.0 mcg/100 mL.

    HPA axis responses to cosyntropin were dichotomized to normal and abnormal. Cosyntropin stimulation testing was performed at Screening and Day 15 and approximately 4 weeks post-treatment if a subject's laboratory results at Day 15 showed an abnormal hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis response (HPA axis suppression). An abnormal HPA axis response was defined as a 30-minute post-stimulation serum cortisol level of ≤18 μg/dL at end of study (EOS).

    Measured: Screening, Day 15, and approximately 4 weeks post-treatment, an average of 28 days

  2. Plasma Concentration of HBP at Screening, Day 8 and Day 15

    Morning trough concentrations of HBP in plasma at Screening, Day 8, and Day 15 were summarized for the PK population using geometric mean, coefficient of variation in addition to n, mean, median, standard deviation (SD), minimum, and maximum.

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Halobetasol Topical Foam in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd at 11 sites in 4 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 6 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Georgia, Poland, Ukraine, 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 6 Jul 2023). 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?

Number of Subjects to Exhibit Adrenal Suppression as Measured by a Cosyntropin Stimulation Test (time frame: Screening, Day 15, and approximately 4 weeks post-treatment, an average of 28 days). The study lists 2 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 6 Jul 2023.
