About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Secukinumab for the Inflammatory Phase of Pyoderma Gangrenosum

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) secukinumab has on the subject and their pyoderma gangrenosum.

Secukinumab is a type of medicine called human monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that recognize and attach to other specific proteins (in this case, immune system hormones called "cytokines") that your body produces. The cytokine (a "messenger" protein in the body) that secukinumab binds to and reduces the activity of is a naturally occurring cytokine called interleukin-17A (IL-17A). IL-17A is believed to be partly responsible for inflammation (pain, swelling, redness), and researchers believe that IL-17A may cause symptoms PG.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single center, Phase IIa study of secukinumab in the treatment of subjects diagnosed with PG. Subjects will be evaluated at Screening, Baseline (week 0), Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, and then every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. The total duration of treatment is up to 20 weeks. Subjects may be treated for shorter durations if the lesions clear prior to week 20. Subjects will have a follow-up visit at 24 weeks, or 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Subjects will also have standard of care wound dressings done at each visit. Subjects will be given 300 mg of secukinumab SQ at week 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, followed by injections every 4 weeks, for up to 20 weeks. Subjects may receive a dose increase at week 16 (if there is not at least a 25% reduction in target lesion size) to 300 mg every 2 weeks.

  • Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic panel (CMP), C- reactive protein (CRP), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Hepatitis panel, HIV test, Pregnancy test, and QuantiFERON gold TB test will be performed at screening. (Appendix 6)
  • CBC, CMP, CRP, ESR will be performed at week 8 and week 20.
  • Pain rating by Likert scale (A 10-point scale to rate the level of pain - Appendix 2), an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) (Appendix 3), Subject Global Assessment (SGA) (Appendix 3), and Ulcer Lesion Assessment (Appendix 5) will be done at Screening, Baseline, and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24.
  • Lesion photography will be done at Screening and all visits.
  • Infection and adverse event assessments and concomitant medication assessments will be performed at each visit.
  • Quality of life will be measured with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at Baseline and Week 20 (Appendix 4).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing secukinumab 150 mg (2 injections per dose in people with Pyoderma Gangrenosum, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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) (time frame: Screening visit). The study lists 19 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 28 May 2021.
