About this study

Official title: A Phase II Placebo Controlled, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of ATH008 Cream in Patients With Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia Syndrome (PPES) Secondary to Capecitabine Therapy.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ATH008 cream in patients with Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia Syndrome (PPES) secondary to capecitabine therapy. In part I, the safety and plasmatic levels of the active ingredient and its metabolite will allow to determine the most appropriate and beneficial dose for the second part of the study. In Part II, the efficacy of ATH008 cream in reducing the number of patients presenting PPES grade 2/3 secondary to capecitabine therapy following a four times daily application will be tested.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase II Placebo Controlled, Multicenter Study that will involve up to 114 patients with Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia Syndrome (PPES) secondary to capecitabine therapy. Eligible patients will be enrolled into Part I or Part II of the study.

The first part of the study (Part I) is designed

  • to demonstrate the safety of ATH008 cream 1%, 3% and 8% and ATH008 cream placebo,
  • to determine the plasmatic levels of the active ingredient and its metabolite after repeated doses of ATH008 cream 1%, 3% and 8%, and
  • to determine the grade of PPES at Day 1 and Day 21 of ATH008 cream treatment Part I will have four different arms; patients will receive one of the three different doses of drug product (ATH008 cream 1%, ATH008 cream 3% or ATH008 cream 8%) or placebo (ATH008 cream placebo) in repeated doses (twice daily) during a period of 21 days.

Patients will continue to be assessed for safety and pharmacokinetics of active ingredient and its metabolite (Pre-dose, Day 1 and Day 21). Results of Part I will determine the most appropriate and beneficial dose for the second part of the study.

The second part of the study (Part II) is aimed at demonstrating the safety and efficacy of ATH008 cream in reducing the number of patients presenting PPES grade 2/3 secondary to capecitabine therapy following a four times daily application.

Part II will have three different arms; patients will receive ATH008 cream 3%, 8% or placebo in repeated doses (four times per day) since appearance of PPES grade 1 until appearance of grade 2-3 or a maximum of 4 cycles. Patients will continue to be assessed for safety. The clinical signs will be reported by iconographic register of lesions and pain will be evaluated using a pain scale. Patient will fill a questionnaire reporting QoL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of ATH008 cream in reducing the number of subjects presenting PPES grade 2/3 secondary to capecitabine therapy

    percentage of subjects that develop PPES grade 2 or 3 according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03 criteria

    Measured: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days

  2. Safety of ATH008 cream in patients presenting PPES secondary to capecitabine therapy

    Measured: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days

  3. Plasmatic levels of ATH008 cream when given topically

    plasmatic levels of the active ingredient and its metabolite when given topically

    Measured: blood sampling at specific timepoints (Pre-dose, Day 1 and Day 21)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Efficacy of ATH008 cream in improving the quality of life of patients presenting PPES

    quality of life compared to baseline

    Measured: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days

  2. Efficacy of ATH008 cream in improving signs and symptoms of PPES

    proportion of subjects that present no PPES signs or symptoms, time to progression and time to improvement of PPES grades,assessment from photographs of erythema, desquamation, existence of blisters, fissures and ulcers; percentage of palms and soles affected by PPES

    Measured: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days

  3. Assessment of patient reported pain

    assessment of pain, using a 0-10 score, analysed comparing the values measured during the study treatment period with the baseline pain value

    Measured: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days

  4. Accumulated dose intensity of capecitabine before and during ATH008 cream treatment

    accumulated capecitabine dose during study treatment (mg / m2) from the starting of ATH008 cream treatment

    Measured: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ATH008 in people with Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia Syndrome, run by Advancell - Advanced In Vitro Cell Technologies, S.A. at 26 sites in 4 countries.

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 12 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 30 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in Spain, Germany, Italy, Belgium. 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 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?

Efficacy of ATH008 cream in reducing the number of subjects presenting PPES grade 2/3 secondary to capecitabine therapy (time frame: minimum every 21 days, maximum of 4 capecitabine cycles, followed by a safety observation period of 14 days). 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?
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 30 Jan 2014.
