Efficacy and Tolerability of HAT1 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis

February 16, 2017 updated by: Haus Bioceuticals

Efficacy and Safety of HAT1, a Novel Topical Therapeutic: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial in Patients With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by a disturbance of epidermal-barrier function that results in intensely pruritic subacute and chronic eczematous plaques. As the most common cause of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, AD is a major cause of morbidity and suffering, affecting upto 30% of children, and increasing in prevalence throughout the world. It is estimated that the direct cost of AD in the US alone ranged from $0.9 billion to $3.8 billion every year. The current therapy of AD is reactive, where the flares are treated through symptomatic management with topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors. Given that these medications have long-term side-effects, and given the chronically relapsing immunopathogenic nature of AD, there is an imperative need for safer anti-inflammatory medications. Haus Bioceuticals (Haus) has developed a topical treatment for eczema/atopic dermatitis (AD) denoted HAT1, and have demonstrated that HAT1 is safe and profoundly effective in the treatment of AD, controlling signs and symptoms in 85% of patients with AD. This study is aimed to further evaluate the potential of developing HAT1 as an integral part of AD therapy.

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 study is a 17 week (119 days) randomized, double-blind, in home use study among 48 male and female subjects with moderate to severe active atopic dermatitis (AD). The study will include subjects with ages 12 - 65 years old inclusive. Group assignments will be balanced by disease severity, age, and body location of AD lesions (listed in order of importance). The study will consist of a 1 week washout period, 12 week treatment phase and a 4 week regression phase. During the treatment phase, subject will be provided one of the two test products to use twice daily on all lesions and non-lesional areas as instructed. No additional creams, lotions or soaps other than provided test products will be allowed throughout the duration of the study. Measurements, expert visual assessments and self-assessments will be taken as described below. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by incidence of AE's (defined per CTCAE), exacerbations, application site reactions/infections, and lab evals. There will also be consumption/compliance checks and dermatological evaluations at each visit.

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.

  • Phase 1

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

12 years to 65 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

HAT1 medicated cream will come in a blinded tube. The research team will provide instructions for the correct application of the treatment. The medicated cream will be applied twice daily (morning and evening) at least 4 hours apart to all lesions. Treatment will continue daily until next visit. If a lesion disappears, patients will continue applying the cream twice daily to the area.
