About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Safety of Repeated Topical Application of Three Concentrations of NF-kappaB Decoy in Adults With Mild-to-Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether this topical NF-kappaB Decoy candidate is safe in persons with atopic dermatitis. Preliminary evidence of efficacy (whether it is working) will also be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety of repeated application of three concentrations of NF-kappaB Decoy in approximately 75 subjects with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. The face, hands, feet, scalp, or groin may NOT be treated.

Other treatment agents are currently available for atopic dermatitis but present significant potential side effects (topical steroids) or are potent immunosuppressives (topical calcineurin inhibitors) with pending longer-term safety data.

NF-kappaB Decoy is a double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) oligodeoxynucleotide that mimics the NF-kappaB binding sequence on the chromosomal DNA, thereby inhibiting the production of the inflammatory response triggered by NF-kappaB. This mechanism of action presents a unique treatment modality.

A comprehensive series of nonclinical data have produced promising results.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of twice-daily topical application of three concentrations of NF-kappaB Decoy in adult subjects with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To make a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of the topical NF-kappaB Decoy in the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis in adult subjects

  2. To evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of NF-kappaB Decoy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NF-kappaB Decoy in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Anesiva, Inc. at 9 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of twice-daily topical application of three concentrations of NF-kappaB Decoy in adult subjects with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2008.
