A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of ELAPR in Women With Striae Distensae Alba

June 28, 2018 updated by: Elastagen Pty Ltd

A Randomized, Within-Subject, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Blind Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of ELAPR002f and ELAPR002g in Women With Striae Distensae (SD) Alba

The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of two formulations of a cross-linked tropoelastin matrix given the product codes ELAPR002f and ELAPR002g (collectively referred to as ELAPR or ELAPR002) for the treatment of Striae Distensae (SD) alba when administered as intradermal implants.

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

The study will consist of six study visits. There will be a screening visit to confirm eligibility and to assess baseline parameters (Day -28 to Day -1). For enrolled subjects there will be three intradermal (i.d.) treatment sessions of ELAPR002f or ELAPR002g and placebo, given at one-monthly intervals (approximately Day 0, Day 28 and Day 56). There will be a safety assessment visit 7 days after the first treatment session (Day 7) to review any adverse events and assess the implant sites. ELAPR002f or ELAPR002g will be administered alone vs. placebo. Subjects will be followed for a total of 12 weeks (to Day 84) following the first treatment, with efficacy and safety assessments undertaken at each study visit. At the final follow-up visit (Day 84) a biopsy sample will be taken from each of the treated SDs (active and placebo treated), together with a control biopsy of normal skin collected from an area of the lateral aspect of the abdomen, hip or thigh without an SD alba. Each study subject will act as their own control with active and placebo treatments given single-blind to contralateral sides of the abdomen, hip or thigh, into matched and paired SD. Prior to administration the selected injection sites along the length of SD alba to be treated will be identified and marked with a semi-permanent mark to ensure consistency of anatomic sites for treatment and biopsy. Follow-up period extended to D168, D336 and D504.

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

26 years to 51 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female subjects with at least four abdominal, hip or thigh SD alba which are approximately bilaterally symmetrical (similar dimensions/location/colour) and are of at least 6 cm in length and no more than 5mm wide.
  • SD alba within an area of skin of otherwise normal, smooth, mainly flat appearance.
  • Age: 30 - 55 years.
  • BMI: 18.5 to 35.0 Kg/m2.
  • Capable of providing voluntary informed consent.
  • Good general health.
  • Female subjects who are sexually active will be of non-child bearing potential (i.e., surgically sterilized or postmenopausal), abstain from sexual intercourse, or use a reliable method of contraception (e.g. hormonal contraceptive, condom, IUD) for at least 30 days prior to dosing and during the duration of the study.
  • Fitzpatrick skin types II, III or IV.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • SD alba within an area of otherwise abnormal skin appearance including unusual lumpiness or abnormal skin laxity.
  • Current or previous medical or surgical treatment of SD.
  • Known hypersensitivity to tropoelastin, hyaluronic acid or any other component of ELAPR002f or ELAPR002g.
  • Female subjects with a positive pregnancy test, women refusing to agree to adequate contraception and pregnancy tests during the study, or women who are planning to become pregnant during the period of the trial.
  • Participation in a clinical trial of a pharmacological agent within 1 month prior to screening.
  • Clinically significant haematology or biochemistry findings at screening.
  • Positive test for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV at screening.
  • Bleeding diathesis, anticoagulant drugs, thrombocytopenia or clinically significant prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or prothrombin time (PT).
  • Chronic use of aspirin, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or other anti-platelet agents.
  • History of keloid formation.
  • Systemic corticosteroids within last 12 weeks.
  • Diabetes or other metabolic disorders that may interfere with the subject's response to treatment in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Any serious medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator would have a strong possibility of requiring systemic corticosteroid medication.
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Previous administration of tropoelastin.
  • A history of anaphylaxis or allergic reactions including any known hypersensitivity to lidocaine.
  • Use of any investigational product on the intended implant site in the previous 12 months.
  • Fitzpatrick skin types I, V or VI.
  • Any other factor that in the opinion of the Investigator would make the subject unsafe or unsuitable for the study.

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
