What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    The number of subjects were calculated regarding adverse events occurring after IMP administration (=TEAEs).

    Measured: Treatment period (52 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Responder Rate of Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA)

    The investigator or subinvestigator assessed the skin symptoms using IGA. The investigator or subinvestigator scored the severity (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 =mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe/very severe) of the overall symptoms of the treatment area (erythema, infiltration, papules, effusion and scab formation) from baseline to Week 52.

    Incidence of success in IGA is defined as the rate of subjects whose IGA score is 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and has improved by at least 2 grades (responders) from baseline.

    Measured: Week 52

  2. Responder Rate of Eczema Area and Severity Index 75 (EASI 75)

    The investigator or sub investigator assessed the symptoms of AD using EASI. EASI's minimum and maximum scores are 0 and 72 scores respectively. The higher the EASI score is, the more severe the symptoms of AD. The investigator or sub investigator scored the severity (0-3 points) and affected body surface area (%) based on the 4 symptoms (erythema, infiltration/papules, excoriation, and lichenification) on the 4 body regions (face, neck and head ; upper limbs ;trunk; and lower limbs).

    EASI 75 is defined as the rate of subjects whose EASI score has improved at least 75% from baseline.

    Measured: Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 0.3% OPA-15406 ointment and 1% OPA-15406 ointment in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 19 Nov 2021. 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 Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 19 Nov 2021). 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?

Number of Subjects Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Treatment period (52 weeks)). 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 NCT03961529, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Nov 2021.
