About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple Dose, Dose-escalation Trial of Anti-IL-20 (109-0012) 100 mg/Vial in Psoriatic Subjects, Followed by an Expansion Phase

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is evaluate the safety and tolerability of anti-IL-20 in patients with psoriasis and to determine the preliminary efficacy in an expansion phase of this trial.

This trial consists of 3 parts: A single dose (SD) dose-escalation phase for 16 weeks, a multiple dose (MD) dose-escalation phase for 22 weeks, and a MD expansion phase for 22 weeks.

Initiation of the MD expansion phase will depend on results from the SD and MD dose-escalation phases and only if an acceptable safety profile is present. Subjects participating in the expansion phase are not allowed to have participated in the previous phases (SD and MD dose-escalation phases) of the trial.

Being tested
anti-IL-20, placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - SD phase

    Measured: from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 16

  2. Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - MD and MD expansion phases

    Measured: from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 22

  3. Improvement psoriasis area and severity index score by 75% (PASI75) - MD expansion phase

    Measured: at weeks 1-7, 9-15, 22

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - MD expansion phase

    Measured: from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 22

  2. Improvement psoriasis area and severity index score by 75% (PASI75) - SD and MD phases

    Measured: SD: at weeks 1, 3, 9, 13 and 16. MD: at weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 22

  3. Pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) - SD and MD phases

    Measured: SD: Prior to dosing (week 1) and through 24 hours and at each visit (week 1-3, 5, 9, 13 and 16). MD: Prior to dosing and at each dosing visit (week 1, 3, 5, 7)

  4. Pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) - MD expansion phase

    Measured: prior to dosing (week 1) and at each dosing visit (week 2-7)

  5. Pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) - SD and MD phases

    Measured: SD: Prior to dosing (week 1) and through 24 hours and at each visit (week 1-3, 5, 9, 13 and 16). MD: Prior to dosing and at each dosing visit (week 1, 3, 5, 7)

  6. Pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) - MD expansion phase

    Measured: prior to dosing (week 1) and at each dosing visit (week 2-7)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing anti-IL-20 in people with Inflammation and Psoriasis, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 16 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 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. 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 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Trial discontinued due to apparent lack of response in psoriasis measures. No safety concerns were present). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - SD phase (time frame: from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 16). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01261767, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2017.
