A Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of KX2-391 Ointment 1% on Actinic Keratosis on Face or Scalp (AK004)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Actinic Keratosis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: KX2-391 Ointment 1%
Registration Number
NCT03285490
Lead Sponsor
Almirall, S.A.
Brief Summary

This Phase III study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KX2-391 Ointment 1% in adult participants when applied to an area of skin containing 4-8 stable, clinically typical actinic keratosis (AK) lesions on the face or scalp.

Detailed Description

This study was a double-blinded, multicenter, efficacy, and safety study of KX2-391 ointment administered topically to the face or scalp of participants with AK.

The study consisted of Screening, Treatment, Follow-up, and Recurrence Follow-up Periods. Eligible participants received up to 5 consecutive days of topical treatment. Efficacy (lesion counts) and safety evaluations were performed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Complete (100%) Clearance of Actinic Keratosis (AK) LesionsDay 57

Complete clearance rate was defined as the percentage of participants at Day 57 with no clinically visible AK lesions in the treatment area.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Pigmentation and Scarring in the Treatment AreaBaseline (Day 1 predose), Days 5, 8, 15, 29 and 57

Absence or presence of pigmentation (i.e., hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation) and scarring in the treatment area were assessed.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Safety Observations- Vital SignsFrom Baseline (Day 1 predose) up to Day 57

Vital signs included measurement of pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.

Percentage of Participants With Partial Clearance Rate of Actinic Keratosis Lesions at Day 57Day 57

Partial clearance rate of AK lesions was defined as the percentage of participants with a greater than or equal to (\>=) 75% reduction in the number of AK lesions identified at Baseline (Day 1 predose) in the treatment area.

Overall Change From Baseline in Actinic Keratosis Lesion Counts at Days 8, 15, 29 and 57Days 8, 15, 29 and 57

Overall the change from baseline in lesion count at each visit were summarized and reported using descriptive statistics by treatment location (face or scalp).

Number of Participants With Maximal Post Baseline Local Skin Reaction (LSR)Day 57

Maximal post baseline LSR was defined as the highest grade of any LSR reported at any post baseline visits for a participant. The LSR assessment was an Investigator's (or sub-investigator's) assessment of the following signs on the treatment area: erythema, flaking/scaling, crusting, swelling, vesiculation/pustulation, and erosion/ulceration. The LSRs were graded on a 4-point scale ranging from 0=absent, 1=mild (slightly, barely perceptible), 2=moderate (distinct presence), and 3=severe (marked, intense).

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Safety Observations- Hematology, Blood Chemistry, UrinalysisFrom Baseline (Day 1 predose) up to Day 57

Assessed laboratory parameters included hematology, blood chemistry and urinalysis. Clinical significance and abnormal observations were determined by the investigator.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Safety Observations- Electrocardiograms (ECGs)From Baseline (Day 1 predose) up to Day 57

ECG parameters included heart rhythm, heart rate, QRS intervals, QT intervals, RR intervals and corrected QT (QTc) intervals. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.

Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Actinic Keratosis Lesions Who Achieved Complete Clearance at Day 573, 6, 9 and 12 months post-Day 57

Recurrence rate was estimated based on Kaplan-Meier method, with recurrence define as appearance of any AK lesions in the treatment area, including those recurred or newly identified.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Safety Observations- Physical ExaminationFrom Baseline (Day 1 predose) up to Day 57

A physical examination included weight and height measurements was performed. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.

Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AE), Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Events of Special InterestsBaseline (Day 1 predose) up to Day 57

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in participant which does not necessarily have causal relationship with treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of medicinal product, whether or not considered related to medicinal product. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death; was life threatening; required persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in initial or prolonged in patient hospitalization; was congenital anomaly/birth defect or otherwise considered medically important. TEAEs (serious and non-serious) were defined as either those AEs with onset after first dose or those pre-existing AEs that worsen after first dose. Events of special interest included skin cancers (including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and their location and treatment area), ocular exposure, overdose, and pregnancy.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, Events of Special Interests Within the Treatment Area After Day 57 and up to 12 Months Post-Day 57From Day 57 up to 12-months post-Day 57

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in participant which does not necessarily have causal relationship with treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of medicinal product, whether or not considered related to medicinal product. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death; was life threatening; required persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in initial or prolonged in patient hospitalization; was congenital anomaly/birth defect or otherwise considered medically important. Events of special interest included skin cancers (including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and their location and treatment area), ocular exposure, overdose, and pregnancy.
