Trial summary

WBI-1001 is a synthetic,new, non-steroid, small molecule being developed as a candidate drug for the topical, cream treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. As such, it affects T-cells through inhibition of T-cell activities including their infiltration processes, and it shows direct anti-inflammatory manifestation in… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Vehicle-Controlled Phase IIa Study to Evaluate Topically Applied WBI-1001 Cream in Patients With Atopic Dermatitis.

WBI-1001 is a synthetic,new, non-steroid, small molecule being developed as a candidate drug for the topical, cream treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. As such, it affects T-cells through inhibition of T-cell activities including their infiltration processes, and it shows direct anti-inflammatory manifestation in the mouse edema model. This was a 28 day study (plus one follow-up week) on patients with Atopic Dermatitis, and 36 patients were treated randomly, BID with either 0.5%, 1.0% or placebo. Blood samples were taken weekly for PK analysis.

Read the detailed description

A double-blind, single-centered, vehicle-controlled, randomized Phase IIa study of WBI-1001 on patients with mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis (AD). All body areas were treatable except face, scalp, groin and genital areas. Cream applied BID between 6.00 and 10.00am and 7.00 and 10.00pm daily for 4 weeks. Blood draws for PK analysis were taken weekly at the study centre prior to the morning cream application. Patients returned to the study centre approximately one week later for a follow-up visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate skin lesion condition as a measure of safety and tolerability of WBI-1001 treated AD patients.

    Measured: 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assess systemic exposure of WBI-1001 treated AD patients by measuring plasma PK.

    Measured: 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days

  2. Explore efficacy of topically applied WBI-1001 cream in patients with AD.

    Measured: 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing WBI-1001 in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, run by Welichem Biotech Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 13 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 5 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 skin lesion condition as a measure of safety and tolerability of WBI-1001 treated AD patients. (time frame: 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days). 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 5 Feb 2009.
