About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Survival of Transplanted Staphylococcus Hominis A9 on the Skin of Adults With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis (ADRN-13)

The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacokinetics or survival of new product containing commensal infection fighting bacteria, on the skin of patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD), after a single application.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll a minimum of 20 participants, 18-80 years of age, with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) on their ventral arms. A minimum of 13 participants will have a positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonized lesion on both upper extremities. A minimum of 7 participants will have a negative S. aureus colonized lesion on both upper extremities.

The participant's colonization status will be determined from cultures taken during a pre-treatment phase, approximately 7 days prior to receiving study treatment on Day 0. On Day 0, skin swabs will be collected from lesional and non-lesional sites (at least 21cm^2) on the participant's right and left ventral arms and one non-lesional site on the participant's face. After the skin swab collections, the participant will have ShA9 applied to their right or left ventral arm and placebo applied to their contralateral ventral arm. The assignment of ShA9 and placebo to the dominant and non-dominant arms will be randomized. Additional swabs will be collected 15 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after the ShA9 and placebo applications on Day 0.

Participants will be asked to return to the clinic 24 hours after receiving their single application and again on Days 3, 10, 17, and 24 for the assessment of adverse events (AEs) and the collection of skin swabs from the identified lesional and non-lesional sites, as needed. After the Day 3 visit, a participant will not be required to complete the Day 10, 17, and 24 visits if their lesional swabs are negative for Coagulase Negative Staphylococcal Species (CoNS).

All randomized participants will complete a final End of Study Phone visit on Day 31 to assess for adverse events and status of their AD.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Duration of ShA9 Survival on the Lesional Ventral Arm Skin of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Participants Positive for S. Aureus (AD SA+).

    Measured as the time needed for coagulase negative staphylococcus species (CoNS) colony-forming unit (CFU) to drop below baseline density measured before application of ShA9 + 100 CFU/cm2 (time to CoNS elimination). Baseline CoNS density was defined as the CoNS (CFU/cm2) result from the sample taken prior to treatment application during the Treatment Visit (Day 0). The primary endpoint was assessed based on samples from lesional skin from the arm (left or right) that received active treatment (ShA9) among SA+ participants. The event is CoNS elimination. Participants who did not experience CoNS elimination were right-censored. The median survival time (hours) was estimated using Kaplan Meier techniques. The 95% confidence interval for median survival time was estimated based on a log-log transformation of the survivor function.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 24

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The Duration of ShA9 Survival on the Non-lesional Ventral Arm Skin of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Participants Positive for S. Aureus (AD SA+).

    Measured as the time needed for coagulase negative staphylococcus species (CoNS) colony-forming unit (CFU) to drop below baseline density measured before application of ShA9 + 100 CFU/cm2 (time to CoNS elimination). Baseline CoNS density was defined as the CoNS (CFU/cm2) result from the sample taken prior to treatment application during the Treatment Visit (Day 0). This secondary endpoint was assessed based on samples from non-lesional skin from the arm (left or right) that received active treatment (ShA9) among SA+ participants. The event is CoNS elimination. Participants who did not experience CoNS elimination were right-censored. The median survival time (hours) was estimated using Kaplan Meier techniques. The 95% confidence interval for median survival time was estimated based on a log-log transformation of the survivor function.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 24

  2. The Count of Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Per Participant.

    For this study, an adverse event included any untoward or unfavorable medical occurrence associated with the study treatment regimen or study mandated procedures. An adverse event was considered 'serious' if, in the view of the investigator or Sponsor, it resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 31

  3. The Count of Non-serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Per Participant.

    For this study, an adverse event included any untoward or unfavorable medical occurrence associated with the study treatment regimen or study mandated procedures. An adverse event was considered 'non-serious' if it did not result in any of the serious defined outcomes.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 31

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing S. hominis A 9 Product in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 6 inclusion and 21 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 12 Nov 2024. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 12 Nov 2024). 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 Duration of ShA9 Survival on the Lesional Ventral Arm Skin of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Participants Positive for S. Aureus (AD SA+). (time frame: Day 0 to Day 24). 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 12 Nov 2024.
