Study Overview

Status

Status

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adults between 18 and 85 years of age with palmar plantar psoriasis with well defined psoriatic plaques on the palms and/or soles with a Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of 3 or higher who are unresponsive to topical management. Pustules, fissures and psoriatic arthritis may be present but are not required.
  2. Adults in general good health as determined by the Investigator based upon the results of medical history, laboratory profile, and physical examination.
  3. Females of reproductive potential are eligible to participate in the study if they have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and baseline and who are using 2 forms of effective birth control.
  4. Palmar/Plantar PGA of 3 or more

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Psoriasis patients without palm and/or sole psoriasis or a palmar/plantar PGA score of less than 3
  2. Patients younger than 18 and older than 85 years old.
  3. Evidence of skin conditions at the time of the screening visit (e.g. eczema) other than psoriasis that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of study medication on psoriasis
  4. Receipt of any investigational drugs within 4 weeks of study drug initiation
  5. Psoralens + UltraViolet A (PUVA) or oral systemic treatments within 4 weeks of study drug initiation.
  6. Biologics within 3 months of study initiation
  7. Ultraviolet B (UVB) therapy or topical steroids within 2 weeks of study drug initiation
  8. A prior history of tuberculosis, and/or a positive Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) skin test/Chest X-Ray (CXR) at screening without appropriate treatment. Treatment of latent Tuberculosis (TB) infections (for those with positive PPD tests) must be initiated prior to therapy.
  9. Receipt of live vaccines 1 month prior to or while in study
  10. Chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
  11. History of alcohol or drug abuse one year before and during the study.
  12. Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive status or any other immune-suppressing disease.
  13. Any grade 3 or 4 adverse event, or laboratory toxicity, at the time of the screening visit or at any time during the study
  14. Presence of a grade 3 or 4 infection <30 days prior to the screening visit, between the screening visit and the first day of treatment on study, or any time during the study that in the opinion of the Investigator would preclude participation in the study.
  15. Any internal malignancy within 5 years (fully excised cutaneous, basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma are exceptions)

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
Time Frame
Percentage of Patients Achieving a Palmar/Plantar PGA Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16.
Time Frame: 16 weeks
16 weeks

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
PGA Score Over Time From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks
Measurement of subject's palmar and plantar psoriasis severity as measured by the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) scale, which rates the severity of psoriasis using the measures of erythema, scaling and induration. Scores are from 0 to 4, in 1 unit increments. A score of 4 is very severe, and a score of 0 is clear.
Baseline, 24 weeks
Pustule Count (if Present at Baseline) From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks
Number of pustules present in each subject
Baseline, 24 weeks
Fissure Count (if Present at Baseline) From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks
Number of discrete fissures on the hands and feet of each subject.
Baseline, 24 weeks
Pruritus Visual Analog Scale From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks
Patient's score on the questionnaire of "how itchy are you", as measured in mm from the left end of scale. Maximum score is 100, minimum score is 0. 100 indicates maximum itch (worse outcome), 0 indicates minimum itch (better outcome).
Baseline, 24 weeks
Pain Visual Analog Scale From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks
Patient's score on the questionnaire of "how much pain are you experiencing from your disease of your hands and feet", as measured in mm from the left end of scale. Maximum score is 100, minimum score is 0. Visual Analog Scale (VAS). 100 indicates maximum pain (worse outcome), 0 indicates minimum pain (better outcome).
Baseline, 24 weeks
Safety Outcome Measures
Time Frame: 24 weeks
All adverse events (AE's) will be recorded and monitored. At each of the study visits, patients will be questioned about the occurrence of new AE's since the last visit, or the outcome of any AE's that were reported at previous visits. Upon study completion of the first 10 subjects the principal investigator will review all adverse events to check for trends.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
