A Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Various Doses of STP705 in Subjects With Hypertrophic Scar

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Hypertrophic Scar
• Interventions: Drug: STP705; Drug: Placebo

• Registration Number: NCT02956317
• Lead Sponsor: Sirnaomics

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, within-subject placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of various doses of STP705 administered as intradermal Injection in subjects with hypertrophic scar. The goals are to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacidynamics parameters, and conduct analysis of biomarkers common to the scar formation pathway.

Detailed Description

This single-center, randomized, double-blind, within-subject placebo controlled study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of various doses of STP705 administered as intradermal injection in subjects with linear hypertrophic scar.

Twenty four subjects will be divided equally among 3 cohorts (20, 30 and 40 μg/cm2/day dose level) of 8 subjects each. Each subject will receive both active (STP705) and control (Placebo) treatment twice a week for a total of 4 weeks. The total length of linear hypertrophic scar will be divided equally for treatment with STP705 and placebo. STP705 and Placebo will be injected intradermal every 1 cm length on the hypertrophic scar.

Subjects will be confined to clinic or research unit for 24 hours post-dosing after the first treatment administration for the serial PK assay and the blood sample will be collected at the following post-dosing times: 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 4 hrs, 5hrs, 6 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 16 hrs, 24 hrs, 32 hrs and 36 hrs. Post-dosing ECG will be performed 6 hours (±1 hr) after the first study drug administration and vital signs will be monitored every 2h till 12h post-administration. Adverse events and medications will be monitored throughout the study.

Group	Intervention	Description
STP705	Placebo	Each subject will receive both active (STP705) and control (Placebo) intradermal injection twice a week for a total of 4 weeks at 20 μg/cm2/day (in Cohort A), 30 μg/cm2/day (in Cohort B) and 40 μg/cm2/day (in cohort C). The total length of linear hypertrophic scar will be divided equally for treatment with STP705 and placebo. STP705 and Placebo will be injected intradermal every 1 cm length on the hypertrophic scar.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Differences among the 3 dosage Groups in 24 Patients' appearance of the scar from baseline evaluated by Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)	32 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in appearance of the scar from baseline evaluated by Physician Global Assessment using Physician Overall Opinion Question of Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) at T4, T8, FU1, FU2 and FU3 visits.	32 weeks	Physician global assessment will be performed using the overall opinion question of the POSAS scale. Physicians will be asked to rate the severity of the participant's scar compared to normal skin. The overall opinion scale score ranged from 1 (normal skin) to 10 (worst imaginable scar). Within participant treatment difference from baseline will be assessed separately for Site A and Site B.
Change in appearance of the scar from baseline evaluated by Physician Scar Assessment using Complete Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) at T4, T8, FU1, FU2 and FU3 visits.	32 weeks	Within participant treatment difference from baseline will be assessed separately for Site A and Site B.

The overall opinion scale score ranged from 1 (normal skin) to 10 (very different from normal skin).
