Study to Evaluate ASN002 in Subjects With Moderate To Severe Chronic Hand Eczema
- Registration Number
- NCT03728504
- Lead Sponsor
- Asana BioSciences
- Brief Summary
Randomized double-blind/placebo study to evaluate the efficacy of ASN002 in subjects with severe chronic hand eczema.
- Detailed Description
This is a placebo controlled study where subjects with severe chronic hand eczema will be randomized (1:1:1) to receive ASN002 at 40 mg, 80 mg, or placebo once daily for 16 weeks (Part A). Then, in Part B, subjects who were assigned to placebo in the first part of the study will receive the highest dose of ASN002 (80 mg) for the rest of the treatment period (up to Week 32). The subjects who were assigned ASN002 in the first part of the study will continue on the same assigned treatment dose during the second part of the study (Week 16 to Week 32). The total treatment period of 32 weeks will be followed by a 4 week follow-up period.This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ASN002 through blood sampling and three or four biopsies from subjects who consent.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percent Change From Baseline in Modified Total Lesion Symptom Score (mTLSS) 16 weeks Percent change from baseline in hand mTLSS at Week 16. The mTLSS is an assessment of the severity of each of the following: erythema, scaling, lichenification/hyperkeratosis, vesicles, edema, fissures, and pruritus/pain. Each of these are rated using a 4-point severity scale. The ratings are added to create a total mTLSS calculated as the sum of assigned individual scores with a maximum value of 21 (most severe disease) and a minimum of 0 (no disease)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Hand Physician Global Assessment (PGA) 16 weeks Proportion of participants with a response of Physicians Global Assessment achieving clear (0) or almost clear (1)
Change From Baseline in Hand Patient Global Assessment (PaGA) 16 weeks Reduction of PaGA compared to baseline where marked improvement was noted with at least 75% clear
