What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Facial Inflammatory Lesion Count (Papules and Pustules) at Week 8

    The number of facial inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) on the face (excluding the neck and scalp area) was counted. Papule was a small, solid elevation 5 millimeters (mm) or less in diameter. Pastule was a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin that contains yellow-white exudate.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Facial Inflammatory Lesion Count (Papules and Pustules) at Week 8

    The number of facial inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) on the face (excluding the neck and scalp area) was counted. Papule was a small, solid elevation 5 mm or less in diameter. Pastule was a small, circumscribed elevation of the skin that contains yellow-white exudate.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  2. Percentage of Participants With an Improvement of at Least 1 Grade From Baseline in Acneiform Rash Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grading Scale at Week 8

    The acneiform rash CTCAE grading scale of severity was 6-point scale ranging from 0-5.

    Scale 0=no evidence of rash. Scale 1= papules and/or pustules covering <10% body surface area (BSA), which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness.

    Scale 2=papules and/or pustules covering 10-30% BSA, which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness; associated with psychosocial impact; limiting instrumental activities of daily living (ADL); papules and/or pustules covering >30% BSA with or without mild symptoms.

    Scale 3=papules and/or pustules covering >30% BSA with moderate or severe symptoms; limiting self-care ADL; associated with local superinfection with oral antibiotics.

    Scale 4=life-threatening consequences; papules and/or pustules covering any %BSA, which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness and are associated with extensive superinfection with intravenous (IV) antibiotics indicated.

    Scale 5=death.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  3. Time to First Response of 1 Grade Improvement From Baseline on the Acneiform Rash CTCAE Grading Scale

    Time to first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash CTCAE grading scale: Date of the first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash CTCAE grading scale - Date of the first dose of study treatment (or from randomization for any participant randomized but not treated) + 1.

    Measured: Baseline up to 55 days

  4. Percentage of Participants With an Improvement of at Least 1 Grade From Baseline in Acneiform Rash Modified Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) EGFRi Skin Toxicity Tool (MESTT) Grading Scale (Total Score) at Week 8

    The MESTT grading scale of the acneiform rash severity was a 3-point scale ranging from 1 to 3:

    Scale 1 = 1A: papules or pustules ≤5; OR 1 area of erythema or edema <1 centimeter (cm) in size. 1B: papules or pustules ≤5; OR 1 area of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain or pruritus.

    Scale 2 = 2A: papules or pustules 6-20; OR 2-5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size. 2B: Papules or pustules 6-20; OR 2-5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain, pruritus, or effect on emotions or functioning.

    Scale 3 = 3A: papules or pustules > 20; OR more than 5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size. 3B: papules or pustules > 20; OR more than 5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain, pruritus, or effect on emotions or functioning.

    Grading was performed individually for the face, scalp, chest, and back. The sum of all body region scores yielded the total score (range: 4 to 12).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  5. Time to First Response of 1 Grade Improvement From Baseline on the Acneiform Rash Modified MESTT Grading Scale (Total Score)

    Time to first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash modified MESTT grading scale (total score): Date of onset of the first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash modified MESTT grading scale (total score) - Date of the first dose of study treatment (or from randomization for any participant randomized but not treated) + 1.

    Measured: Baseline to 55 days

  6. Percentage of Participants With an Improvement of at Least 1 Grade From Baseline in Acneiform Rash Modified MESTT Grading Scale (Facial Assessment) at Week 8

    The MESTT grading scale of the acneiform rash severity was a 3-point scale ranging from 1 to 3:

    Scale 1 = 1A: papules or pustules ≤5; OR 1 area of erythema or edema <1cm in size. 1B: papules or pustules ≤5; OR 1 area of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain or pruritus.

    Scale 2 = 2A: papules or pustules 6-20; OR 2-5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size. 2B: Papules or pustules 6-20; OR 2-5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain, pruritus, or effect on emotions or functioning.

    Scale 3 = 3A: papules or pustules > 20; OR more than 5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size. 3B: papules or pustules > 20; OR more than 5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain, pruritus, or effect on emotions or functioning.

    Grading was performed individually for the face. The score ranged from 1 to 3.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  7. Time to First Response of 1 Grade Improvement From Baseline on the Acneiform Rash Modified MESTT Grading Scale (Facial Assessment)

    Time to first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash modified MESTT grading scale (facial assessment): Date of onset of the first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash modified MESTT grading scale (facial assessment) - Date of the first dose of study treatment (or from randomization for any participant randomized but not treated) + 1.

    Measured: Baseline to 55 days

  8. Change From Baseline in Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at Week 8

    The intensity of pruritus was evaluated by asking participants to assign a numerical score representing the worst intensity over the last 24 hours of their symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no itch and 10 indicating the worst imaginable itch.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  9. Percent Change From Baseline in Pruritus NRS at Week 8

    The intensity of pruritus was evaluated by asking participants to assign a numerical score representing the worst intensity over the last 24 hours of their symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no itch and 10 indicating the worst imaginable itch.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  10. Change From Baseline in Pain NRS at Week 8

    The intensity of pain was evaluated by asking participants to assign a numerical score representing the worst intensity over the last 24 hours of their symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst imaginable pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  11. Percent Change From Baseline in Pain NRS at Week 8

    The intensity of pain was evaluated by asking participants to assign a numerical score representing the worst intensity over the last 24 hours of their symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst imaginable pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  12. Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor 18 (FACT-EGFRi-18) at Week 8

    The FACT-EGFRi-18 was an 18-item likert-scaled questionnaire, arranged in three dimensions: physical (seven items), social/emotional (six items), and functional well-being (five items). The response scores ranged from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much).

    The total score was obtained by multiplying the sum of the subscale by the number of items in the scale (18), and then dividing by the number of items actually answered.

    The total score ranged from 0-72 with a higher score represented a high level of symptomatology (problems).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

  13. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to study treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of study treatment that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE was considered "serious" if there was any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, other important medical events. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if the date of onset was during or after first dose of study treatment, or if the AE present at baseline worsened in either intensity or frequency after first dose of study treatment.

    Measured: From first dose to 55 days

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imsidolimab in people with Acneiform Eruptions, run by Vanda Pharmaceuticals at 18 sites in 5 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, Georgia, Czechia, Poland, Latvia. 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 9 Jan 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?

Change From Baseline in Facial Inflammatory Lesion Count (Papules and Pustules) at Week 8 (time frame: Baseline, Week 8). 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 22 Sep 2025.
