Clinical Utility Of Genetic Screening For HLA-B*1301, On Susceptibility To Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome

March 1, 2017 updated by: Shandong Provincial Institute of Dermatology and Venereology

A Phase IV, Randomised, Multicentre, Double-blind, Study to Evaluate the Clinical Utility of Prospective Genetic Screening (HLA-B*1301) for Susceptibility to Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome

This Study is to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*1301 screening on the incidence of dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) in 3130 previously Dapsone(DDS)-naive patients. Those patients include allergic cutaneous vasculitis, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, bullous skin diseases, sterile pustulosis, leprosy, pneumocystis pneumonia and any other patients who need dapsone administration. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 5-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected DHS and a subset of DDS-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening: Case). Subjects identified as HLA-B*1301 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive dapsone and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected DHS during the 6-week observation would be withdrawn from dapsone and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.

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.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
3130

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 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with cutaneous vasculitis, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, bullous skin diseases, sterile pustulosis, leprosy, pneumocystis pneumonia and any other patients who need dapsone administration.
  • Subjects are dapsone-naive.
  • All subjects must have a clinical need for treatment with dapsone that precedes the decision to participate in the study.
  • All subjects are willing to complete the 6-weeks period clinical trial.
  • All subjects are written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has previously received Dapsone therapy.
  • The subject or any of their healthcare providers is aware of the subjects HLA type.
  • Has been diagnosed with Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency or methemoglobin reductase deficiency
  • Satisfies any contraindications or restrictions to Dapsone therapy as listed in the product labels.
  • Current severe illness, including heart, liver and renal failure, major organ allograft, malignancy requiring parenteral chemotherapy that can not be discontinued for the duration of the trial, or any other conditions which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the patient unsuitable for the study.
  • Any laboratory abnormality at Screening which, in the opinion of the Investigator, should preclude the subject's participation in the study [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(ALT), et al).
  • Pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding.
  • Subject is, in the opinion of the Investigator, unable to complete the 6 week Observation period and the EPT assessments as required.
  • A positive result for HLA-B*1301 in those subjects randomised to the genetic screening arm.

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.

Time Frame: 6 weeks
The primary outcome measure will be the total number of clinically suspected Dapsone induced hypersensitivity syndrome during the 6-week observation period in both the prospective-screening group and control group, as reported by the DHS incidence (DHS patients/ total participants).
