Efficacy and Safety of HAT1 Compared to Calcipotriol in Patients With Mild to Moderate Chronic Plaque Psoriasis

February 19, 2019 updated by: Haus Bioceuticals

A Phase II Multicenter Randomized Double-blind Comparator-Controlled Trial of HAT1 Compared to Calcipotriol in Patients With Mild to Moderate Chronic Plaque Psoriasis

Psoriasis, the most prevalent autoimmune disease in the U.S., manifests with plaque type psoriasis vulgaris with lesions localized to the scalp, postauricular region, face, diaper area, elbows, and knees. Inadequately controlled disease is common and a significant cause of extensive psychological and clinical morbidity in children. In addition, the safety and tolerability issues of common treatments for psoriasis including topical corticosteroids, calcipotriol, oral cytotoxic drugs, and biologic agents are especially problematic in patients that limit their use. Identification of therapies with high efficacy and safety profiles suitable for patients with psoriasis is therefore an area of critical unmet need. Haus Bioceuticals has developed a topical treatment for psoriasis denoted HAT1 (based on ingredients that have established clinical benefit), and have demonstrated that HAT1 is safe and profoundly effective in the treatment of psoriasis. This study is aimed to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of HAT1 compared to commonly used calcipotriol in patients with mild to moderate chronic plaque psoriasis.

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 is a randomized, double-blind trial. All patients who meet entry criteria will be randomized to receive either topical HAT01 or calcipotriol to be applied to the affected area 2 times per day. Treatment will continue for a maximum of 12 weeks. During all study visits, patients will be evaluated for efficacy and safety. The study will comprise of a 1 week washout period. During the washout period, patients will be asked to avoid using any products on their body including topical corticosteroids, ointments, creams, etc. During the treatment phase, patients will be provided one of the two test products to use twice daily on all lesional areas. No additional ointments or creams will be allowed throughout the duration of the study. Measurements and assessments will be taken according to the schedule. Patients will be followed through 12 weeks till the end of treatment.

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.

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.
Experimental: HAT1 topical
HAT1 topical cream will come in a blinded bottle. Patients, investigators, and the trial sponsor will be unaware of the trial group assignments. Packaging and labeling of the test and comparator products will be identical to maintain the blind.
Drug: HAT1
During the treatment phase, patients will be ask to apply the product twice daily on all lesional areas. The research team will provide instructions for the correct application of the treatment. If a lesion disappears, patients will continue applying the cream twice daily to the area. No additional creams, lotions or soaps other than provided test products will be allowed throughout the duration of the study.
