About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, OPen, InvEstigator Initiated Phase IV Clinical TRial to Evaluate the Efficacy and SaFety of Ingenol Mebutate Gel 0.015% on Face and Scalp & 0.05% on Trunk and Extremities in KorEan Patient With ACtinic KeraTosis (PERFECT)

This study evaluate the efficacy and safety of ingenol mebutate gel 0.015% on face and scalp \& 0.05% on trunk and extremities in Korean patient with actinic keratosis.

Read the detailed description

The mechanism of action of ingenol mebutate for actinic keratosis(AK) treatment involves a rapid induction of necrosis followed by neutrophil-mediated, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of residual lesion. As the ingenol mebutate infiltrates the cell membrane, it increases intracellular Ca2+ concentration which leads to mitochondrial swelling and disruption of mitochondrial membrane within hours. The release of intra-mitochondrial Ca2+ into the cytoplasm leads to depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and a rapid induction of cell death by necrosis. This process occurs within 1 hour of application, which explains why the treatment period requires only 2 or 3 days of treatment. As the next phase, the cellular necrosis is accompanied by a robust inflammatory response through the release of proinflammatory cytokines from skin cells and tumor cells undergoing necrosis. The release of these proinflammatory cytokines into the dysplastic cells mediates the process of neutrophil recruitment through paracrine signaling and activation of endothelial cells. Here, the neutrophil mediated ADCC occurs, where activated neutrophils attach to the fragment, crystallized (Fc) parts of antibodies of dysplastic cells and destroys the residual dysplastic epidermal cells. In this way, the ingenol mebutate eradicates any residual tumor cells and prevents recurrence of actinic keratosis.As described above, the rapid effect and dual mechanism of action of ingenol mebutate gel allows not only a short-course therapy (2 or 3 days of application) for the elimination of actinic keratosis but also, the benefit for eradication of any residual lesions preventing the recurrence and the progression of AK into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

What is being measured

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

  1. CC Rate of AK Lesions in the Selected Treatment Area

    Complete Clearance (CC) means that clearance of all visible AK lesions in the selected treatment area and Investigator-rated actinic keratiosis(AK) lesion complete clearance (CC) rate at the selected treatment area on day 57 was analyzed.

    Measured: at day 57

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage Change of the Number of AK Lesions in the Selected Treatment Area

    Percentage change from baseline in the number of actinic keratiosis(AK) lesions in the selected treatment area on Day 57 was analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 57

  2. Sustained CC Rate in CC Group

    Sustained Complete Clearance means that Complete Clearance was maintained until Month 6 in complete clearance (CC) group and sustained complete clearance(CC) rate at month 6 for complete clearance(CC) group was analyzed.

    Measured: at 6 months

  3. Recurrence Rate in CC Group

    Recurrence rate in complete clearance(CC) group was analyzed.

    Measured: at 6 months

  4. Percentage Change of the Number of AK Lesions in the Selected Treatment Area of CC Group

    Percentage change from baseline in the number of actinic keratiosis(AK) lesions at Month 6 in the selected treatment area in complete clearance(CC) Group was analyzed.

    Measured: at 6 months from baseline

  5. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life (Skindex-29)

    Skindex-29 is a self-administered QoL questionnaire comprised of 29 items scored on a 5-point scale (0=never, 1=rarely, 2=sometimes, 3=often, 4=all the time) covering 3 domains: emotional (10 items), symptomatic (7 items), and functional (12 items), with domain scores ranging from 0 to 40, 28, and 48, respectively. Lower scores for each of the domains represents a better Quality of life.

    Measured: at 29 and 57 days from baseline

  6. Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM)

    Participants personally completed the tool to evaluate satisfaction with drug treatment. It consisted of 4 areas of Effectiveness, side effect, convenience, and global satisfaction, with a total of 14 sub-items. The full mark is 100, and it is divided in four stages as follows.

    • Very good: 76 -100 score
    • Good: 51-75 score
    • Not bad: 26-50 score
    • Bad: 0-25 score Scores for each area ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating that fewer side effects had occurred and greater treatment satisfaction.

    Measured: at 29 and 57 days from baseline

  7. Cosmetic Outcomes Assessment (COA)

    The investigator rated the subject's Cosmetic Outcomes Assessment(COA) using 5 grades (Very good, Good, No change, Bad, Very bad), and results were as follows.

    Measured: at 29 and 57 days from baseline

  8. Time to Relapse in CC Group

    Time to relapse in complete clearance(CC) Group was analyzed. Median survival time with 95% confidence interval was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: at 6 months

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 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 18 Apr 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 South Korea. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 18 Apr 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?

CC Rate of AK Lesions in the Selected Treatment Area (time frame: at day 57). 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 NCT02716714, which also lists 16 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 18 Apr 2018.
