A Phase 2 Study of PH-10 for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Provectus Pharmaceuticals
Information provided by:	Provectus Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00690807

Purpose

PH-10 is a formulation of rose bengal disodium (RB) for topical administration to the skin. PH-10 is capable of undergoing photochemical reactions when activated by ambient light. This phase 2 study will assess whether topical PH-10 applied once daily to mild, moderate or severe areas of atopic dermatitis (including atopic eczema) may ameliorate inflammation of the skin when activated by ambient light.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary efficacy endpoint is "Treatment Success," a static endpoint defined as a score of 0 to 1 at Day 28 (at the end of the study treatment period) by the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scoring system for atopic dermatitis status. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Adverse experience, including pain and dermatologic/skin toxicity (incidence, severity, frequency, duration and causality). [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) score changes of individual atopic dermatitis signs at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Pruritus Self-Assessment score changes of atopic dermatitis related itching/scratching at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Adverse change in clinical laboratory tests (CBC and CMP). [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Adverse change in vital signs (BP, pulse, temperature). [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
