A Phase I Study to Assess Novel Cream in a Psoriasis Plaque Test

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Psoriasis
• Interventions: Drug: AN2728 Cream, 1%; Drug: AN2728 Cream, 0.3%; Drug: AN2728 Cream Vehicle; Drug: AN2728 Cream, 2%; Drug: Betnesol®-V Creme, 0.1%

• Registration Number: NCT00763204
• Lead Sponsor: Pfizer

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate dose-response relationship, antipsoriatic efficacy and safety of different concentrations of topical formulations with AN2728 in subjects with psoriasis vulgaris.

Detailed Description

The study will be performed in 12 male subjects with stable psoriatic plaques. The study preparations and the comparator will be tested observer-blind. Treatments will be randomly assigned to the test fields. All subjects will receive all treatments, with intraindividual comparison of the treatments.

Altogether six test fields will be examined per subject (four active AN2728 creams of different concentrations: 2 %, 1 %, 0.3 %, 0.03 %, the active ingredient-free vehicle, and a marketed corticoid preparation). The test fields will be treated occlusively over a study period of 12 days. Topical application of approximately 200 uL of each assigned intervention is administered per treatment, for a total of 10 treatments over a 12-day treatment period.

Exclusion Criteria

• subjects with psoriasis guttata or pustular psoriasis
• subjects who require systemically acting medications for the treatment of psoriasis, which might counter or influence the study objectives, e.g. corticosteroids, cytostatics
• local treatment with antipsoriatics (like vitamin D, dithranol, glucocorticosteroids; except for salicyclic acid in vaseline) in the 4 weeks preceding and during the study; and any antipsoriatic treatment on the plaques (including corticosteroids, except for salicyclic acid) in the 8 weeks preceding and during the study.
• systemic treatment with antipsoriatics in the three months preceding and during the study
• treatment with systemic or locally acting medications which might counter or influence the study aim (e.g. MAO inhibitors, anti-epileptic drugs, anti-psychotic drugs) or medications which are known to provoke or aggravate psoriasis, e.g. Beta-blocker, antimalarial drugs and lithium drugs within two weeks before the beginning of the study and during the study.

• UV-therapy within 4 weeks before beginning and during the study
• Symptoms of a clinically significant illness that may influenced the outcome of the study in the 4 weeks before and during the study
• participation in another clinical trial involving pharmaceutical products in the 4 weeks preceding and during the study
• in the opinion of the investigator or physician performing the initial examination the patient should not participate in the study, e.g. due to probable noncompliance or inability to understand the study and give adequately informed consent
• subject is institutionalized because of legal or regulatory order
