Study of Adalimumab in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Hidradenitis Suppurativa

April 14, 2011 updated by: Abbott

A Phase 2 Multicenter Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Adalimumab in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Hidradenitis Suppurativa

This study will investigate how well adalimumab works in people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in the short and long term.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study consists of 2 treatment periods: a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled period (Period 1: Weeks 0 through the end of Week 15) followed by a 36-week open-label period (Period 2: Weeks 16 through 52). Participants are randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio based on Hurley Stage as stratification factor to receive adalimumab 40 mg every week (qwk), adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow), or matching placebo during Period 1. During Period 2, participants receive open-label adalimumab 40 mg eow with the option to escalate to 40 mg weekly dosing at Week 28 or Week 31 if the participant has a Physician's Global Assessment of moderate disease or worse (score of greater than or equal to 3). The primary objective of the study is to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of participants with moderate to severe chronic hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) after 16 weeks of treatment. The secondary objective is to evaluate the maintenance of efficacy and continued safety of adalimumab for an additional 36 weeks of treatment. (Note: Hurley Stage is a classification system for skin involvement that is largely based on the presence and extent of abscess formation accompanied by scarring and sinus tracts. Hurley Stages are I [abscess formation without scarring and sinus tracts], II [widely separated recurrent abscesses with scarring and sinus tracts], and III [multiple interconnected abscesses and sinus tracts across entire area]. Randomization in this study was performed using stratification by Hurley Stage [III versus (I or II).) At the present time, Period 1 double-blind data only is provided; additional information will be provided when analysis of open-label Period 2 is completed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 16
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
Clinical response is defined as a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of clear, minimal, or mild (scores of 0, 1, or 2) with a minimum of 2 grades improvement (reduction) from baseline. PGA is a physician's assessment of the severity of disease based on a 6-point scale (score of 0 = clear and 5 = very severe).
Baseline, Week 16

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent Change From Baseline in Number of All Inflammatory Nodules and Plaques at Week 16
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
Includes inflammatory nodules that are tender, erythematous, and have diameters less than 5 cm and includes plaques that have diameters greater than or equal to 5 cm. Range for percent change is negative infinity to infinity. Negative percent changes from Baseline indicate improvement.
Baseline, Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 2
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2
Clinical response is defined as a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of clear, minimal, or mild (scores of 0, 1, or 2) with a minimum of 2 grades improvement (reduction) from baseline. PGA is a physician's assessment of the severity of disease based on a 6-point scale (score of 0 = clear and 5 = very severe).
Baseline, Week 2
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 4
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
Clinical response is defined as a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of clear, minimal, or mild (scores of 0, 1, or 2) with a minimum of 2 grades improvement (reduction) from baseline. PGA is a physician's assessment of the severity of disease based on a 6-point scale (score of 0 = clear and 5 = very severe).
Baseline, Week 4
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 8
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8
Clinical response is defined as a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of clear, minimal, or mild (scores of 0, 1, or 2) with a minimum of 2 grades improvement (reduction) from baseline. PGA is a physician's assessment of the severity of disease based on a 6-point scale (score of 0 = clear and 5 = very severe).
Baseline, Week 8
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
Clinical response is defined as a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of clear, minimal, or mild (scores of 0, 1, or 2) with a minimum of 2 grades improvement (reduction) from baseline. PGA is a physician's assessment of the severity of disease based on a 6-point scale (score of 0 = clear and 5 = very severe).
Baseline, Week 12
Change From Baseline in Modified Sartorius Scale at Week 16
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
The Modified Sartorius Scale reflects changes in hidradenitis suppurative symptoms, namely the number of lesions (abscesses, nodules, and fistulas) and the longest distance between lesions. A total score is derived based on assessments at up to 8 distinct anatomical regions and ranges from 5 to indefinite. Smaller numbers are better scores and indicate less lesion involvement, thus decreases (negative changes) from baseline indicate improvement in severity of disease.
Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in Modified Sartorius Scale at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
The Modified Sartorius Scale reflects changes in hidradenitis suppurative symptoms, namely the number of lesions (abscesses, nodules, and fistulas) and the longest distance between lesions. A total score is derived based on assessments at up to 8 distinct anatomical regions and ranges from 5 to indefinite. Smaller numbers are better scores and indicate less lesion involvement, thus decreases (negative changes) from baseline indicate improvement in severity of disease.
Baseline, Week 52
Percent Change From Baseline in Number of All Inflammatory Nodules and Plaques at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
Includes inflammatory nodules that are tender, erythematous, and have diameters less than 5 cm and includes plaques that have diameters greater than or equal to 5 cm. Range for percent change is negative infinity to infinity. Negative percent changes from Baseline indicate improvement.
