About this study

Official title: First-in-human, Single Center, Combined SAD/MAD, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Half-side Comparison Study on the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of 0.1%, 0.3% and 1% WOL071-007-containing Formulations in Atopic Dermatitis Patients

Purpose of the study is the local tolerability and systemic safety of a novel k-opioid receptor agonist proven to inhibit inflammation and pruritus in preclinical model of dermatitis.

Three concentrations of WOL071-007 and placebo will be applied to patients with AD in a first-in-human, single-center, combined single/multiple ascending dose (SAD/MAD), double-blind, placebo-controlled, half-side comparison (MAD part only) study. The IMP will be applied occlusively to lesional or non-lesional skin. In the SAD part 24 subjects will receive the IMP for 2 days. In the MAD part, 30 hospitalized subjects will receive the IMP for 6 days. Study objectives are the safety and tolerability as well as (MAD part only) the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of WOL071-007.

Read the detailed description

Three concentrations of the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) WOL071-007 (= active IMP) or placebo will be applied to patients with a clinical diagnosis of atopic dermatitis at screening with an Investigator's Global Dermatitis Assessment (IGADA) score of 1 or 2 (mild to moderate) and/or a local SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) ≤12.

Each dose level cohort will begin with 2 sentinel patients: 1 patient randomized to receive active IMP and the other patient randomized to receive placebo only. From the remaining patients 1 patient will be randomized to receive placebo.

In the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) part of the study the active IMP or placebo will be applied to a defined surface area of ≤ 100 cm² of non-lesional skin (Day 1) or lesional skin (Day 2) for about 22 hours and the patients will remain in the study center for at least 6 hours after dosing.

In the Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) part placebo or test product + placebo (half-side comparison) will be administered up to 24 hours to achieve a defined surface area of approximately 2000 cm² in total (10% Body Surface Area) for each dose level cohort. A Data Safety Monitoring Board will review the data and recommend continuation following each dose level cohort.

Primary criteria for evaluation are safety assessments, e.g. by Adverse Event (AE) recording, and assessments of the local tolerability (by scoring of local symptoms) as well as of the systemic tolerability (e.g. by blood tests and neurological examination) of WOL071-007. In the MAD part additionally pharmacokinetics will be measured and as secondary parameter local efficacy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 0.1% WOL071-007, 0.3% WOL071-007 and 1.0% WOL071-007 in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, run by Dr. August Wolff GmbH & Co. KG Arzneimittel at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 inclusion and 33 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 16 Oct 2015. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Safety of WOL071-007 by recording adverse events (AEs) and other safety parameters over the Study Period (time frame: SAD part: 2 days; MAD part: 7 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 16 Oct 2015.
