A Study of Calcitriol BID Topical Treatment in Adolescents With Plaque Psoriasis

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00419666
Lead Sponsor
Galderma R&D
Brief Summary

This is an open-label, multicenter study to assess the systemic exposure to calcitriol in the adolescent population. Calcitriol 3µg/g ointment (2 mg/cm² per application) is to be applied twice daily to involved skin (10 - 35% BSA involved, excluding face, scalp and intertriginous areas) for 56 days (8 weeks). Full Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) profile will be collected during the first 3 weeks of the study; safety and efficacy data will be collected for the 8 weeks of the treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Trough Plasma Levels (Ctrough) of CalcitriolDay 0 (Baseline), Day 14, Day 21, and Day 56

Trough plasma levels (Ctrough) of calcitriol was reported.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Pre-Application (T0) Through 12 Hours Post Dosing (AUC [0-12 Hours])0 (predose) and 12 hours post dose on Day 0 (Baseline), Day 21

The AUC(0-12 hours) that is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 12 hours after dosing was reported.

The Observed Peak Drug Concentration (Cmax) of CalcitriolDay 0 (Baseline), Day 21

Cmax of calcitriol was reported.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Pre-Application (T0) Through 9 Hours Post Dosing (AUC [0-9 Hours])0 (predose) and 9 hours post dose on Day 0 (Baseline), Day 21

The AUC(0-9 hours) that is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 9 hours after dosing was reported.

Time at Which Maximum Concentration (Cmax) Occurred (Tmax)Day 0 (Baseline), Day 21

Tmax is the time to reach maximum concentration and was reported for calcitriol.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Effect of Calcitriol Ointment on Calcium (Serum Calcium, Urinary (U) Calcium Random) and Phosphorus Homeostasis up to Day 56From baseline (Day 0) up to Day 56

Calcium homeostasis was analyzed with serum calcium albumin adjusted, serum calcium, urinary calcium/creatinine ratio, urinary (U) calcium random as parameters. Phosphorus homeostasis was analyzed with phosphorus as parameter. Change from baseline in the effect of calcitriol ointment on calcium (serum calcium, U calcium random) and phosphorus homeostasis up to Day 56 was reported.

Change From Baseline in Effect of Calcitriol Ointment on Calcium (Serum Calcium Albumin Adjusted) Homeostasis up to Day 56From baseline (Day 0) up to Day 56

Calcium homeostasis was analyzed with serum calcium albumin adjusted, serum calcium, urinary calcium/creatinine ratio, urinary (U) calcium random as parameters. Change from baseline in the effect of calcitriol ointment on calcium (serum calcium albumin adjusted) homeostasis up to Day 56 was reported.

Change From Baseline in Effect of Calcitriol Ointment on Calcium (Urinary Calcium/Creatinine Ratio) Homeostasis up to Day 56From baseline (Day 0) up to Day 56

Calcium homeostasis was analyzed with serum calcium albumin adjusted, serum calcium, urinary calcium/creatinine ratio, urinary (U) calcium random as parameters. Change from baseline in the effect of calcitriol ointment on calcium (urinary calcium/creatinine ratio) homeostasis up to Day 56 was reported.

Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom start of the study to Day 56

An adverse event (AE) was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding assessed as clinically significant and different from the baseline visit), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Number of participants with adverse events were reported.
