What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the Physician's global assessment

    The primary response parameter change of the physician global assessment (PGA) 5-point scale at week 16 as compared to week 0.

    Measured: Week 16

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in surface area of lesions of pyoderma gangrenosum (two-dimensional surface in mm²)

    Measured: Week 2,3,8,16,28,40

  2. Assessment of patient's quality of life

    Patient's quality of life is assessed by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire.

    Measured: Week 2, 4, 8, 16, 28, 40

  3. Measurement of serum C reactive protein (mg/dl)

    Measured: Week 2, 4, 8, 16, 28, 40

  4. Measurement of leukocyte counts (x10.e3/µl)

    Measured: Week 2, 4, 8, 16, 28, 40

  5. Measurement of blood sedimentation rate (mm/h)

    Measured: Week 2, 4, 8, 16, 28, 40

  6. Immunohistochemical analysis of IL-17+ immune cells

    The number of IL-17+ immune cells is counted in two high-power-fields (400x) and mean in calculated.

    Measured: Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Secukinumab in people with Pyoderma Gangrenosum, run by Technical University of Munich 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 12 Apr 2023. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Change of the Physician's global assessment (time frame: Week 16). 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 12 Apr 2023.
