About this study

Official title: The KINSHIP Trial: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AQX-1125 in Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis by Targeting the SHIP1 Pathway

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of treatment with once daily administration of AQX-1125 compared to placebo on change from baseline in Total Lesion Symptom Score in subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis

Read the detailed description

One of the causative factors for the inflammatory response observed in AD is the release of chemokines and other chemoattractant factors followed by recruitment of inflammatory cell subtypes (10). IL-16, a Langerhans cells (LC)-derived chemoattractant cytokine for CD4+ cells, RANTES, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-4) and eotaxin are overexpressed in epidermal keratinocytes from AD subjects and may contribute to the chemotaxis of eosinophils, macrophages and Th2-lymphocytes (11).

Since the activation of SHIP1 by AQX-1125 results in the inhibition of inflammatory cell chemotaxis and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis, this study hypothesized that AQX-1125 would improve AD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Total Lesion Symptom Score (TLSS)

    The TLSS is an assessment of the severity of each of the following three signs: erythema, papulation/infiltration, excoriation and lichenification. Each of these items are rated using a 4-point scale severity where 0 is clear, 1 = mild, 2= moderate and 3 = severe. These ratings are then added to create a total score ranging from 0 to 12

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA)

    The IGA is a global assessment of the current state of the disease. It is a 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity and will be determined according to the following categories: 0 (clear), 1 (almost clear), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate) and 4 (severe).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score

    The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) quantifies the severity of a subject's atopic dermatitis based on both lesion severity and the percentage of body surface area (BSA) affected. Lesions are assessed on four domains; 1) erythema, 2) induration/papulation, 3) excoriation and 4) lichenification. Each domain is scored separately over four body regions (head/neck, upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs) on a scale of 0-3 (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe) with adjustment for the percentage of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region relative to the whole body. The sum of these scores provides the EASI total score, ranging from 0 to 72 with a higher score indicating greater severity of atopic dermatitis.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Score

    The severity scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index is a standard tool to assess the atopic dermatitis (AD) severity in clinical studies. Six items; erythema, edema/papulation, oozing/crusts, excoriation, lichenification and dryness are measured on a scale from 0-3 for a total of 18 points, with a higher score indicating greater severity. The percentage of BSA affected by AD is evaluated (percentage divided by 5) and added to the total SCORAD score. Loss of sleep and pruritus are also evaluated by subjects on a visual analog scale (scores ranging from 0-10) with a higher score indicating greater severity. The sum of these measures represents the SCORAD which ranges from 0 (absent disease) to 103 (severe disease).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) Score

    The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1-2 days, 2 = 3-4 days, 3 = 5-6 days, 4 = everyday). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AQX-1125 in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Aquinox Pharmaceuticals (Canada) 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 2 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 Oct 2018. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Total Lesion Symptom Score (TLSS) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 Oct 2018.
