Open-Label Study of RVT-501 Topical Ointment in Pediatric Patients With Atopic Dermatitis

Phase 1
Conditions
Atopic Dermatitis
Interventions
Drug: RVT-501 0.5% topical ointment
Registration Number
NCT03415282
Lead Sponsor
Dermavant Sciences GmbH
Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 1b study in pediatric patients age 2-11 years old with extensive atopic dermatitis.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this multicenter, open-label study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RVT-501 0.5% topical ointment administered twice daily (BID) for 4 weeks in pediatric patients age 2-11 years of age with extensive atopic dermatitis. The efficacy of RVT-501 will also be evaluated as a secondary objective in these patients. The study will consist of three phases: Screening (up to 30 days), Treatment Phase (28 days), and Follow-up (7-10 days).

      • Excessive sun exposure, tanning booth, other ultraviolet (UV) light source and phototherapy including psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy.
    • From 14 days prior to the first application of the study drug to the completion of the

    Follow-up visit or discontinuation:

    • Herbal medicines for atopic dermatitis (topical and oral preparations), unless specifically approved by the Sponsor;

    • Tacrolimus and pimecrolimus cream and/or ointment;

    • Topical corticosteroids that were classified as low, medium, or high potency (e.g., fluocinonide, triamcinolone acetonide, desonide, hydrocortisone). Eye drops and nasal preparations are allowed.

      • From 7 days prior to the first application of the study drug to the completion of the Follow- up visit or discontinuation:

  8. The patient has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives, or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).

  9. Current or a history of cancer within 5 years.

  11. Patients with pruritus due to conditions other than atopic dermatitis that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would either interfere with study evaluations or affect the safety of the patient.

  12. Patients with advanced disease or recent abnormal laboratory test values that could affect the safety of the patient or the implementation of this study.

  13. History of and/or concurrent condition of serious hypersensitivity (anaphylactic shock or anaphylactoid reaction) to PDE4 inhibitors.
