Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    219 subjects from Canada (8 sites) and Germany (7 sites) were enrolled into the trial. First Subject First Visit:10-Feb-2015 and Last Subject Last Visit: 03-Aug-2015 (last visit, including follow-up). 6 enrolled subjects were not randomised.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening assessments were performed at the Screening Visit which could occur up to 28 days prior to Baseline (Day 1; Visit 1). A washout period of up to 4 weeks was to be completed if the subject was treated or had recently been treated with anti-psoriatic treatments or other relevant medication, as defined by the exclusion criteria.

    Blinding implementation details
    This was an open-label, cross-over study. All subjects received both treatments, each for 1 week, and hence served as their own control. A cross-over design was selected to be able to test if the sequence of applying the treatments had an influence on preference.

    Notes

    Primary: Overall treatment preference by Subject's Preference Assessment (SPA) at Week 2 and association with baseline characteristics

    End point title
    Overall treatment preference by Subject's Preference Assessment (SPA) at Week 2 and association with baseline characteristics
    End point description
    The SPA questionnaire was completed at Week 2 and consisted of 2 parts: (i) the subject indicated if they preferred LEO 90100 foam or Daivobet® gel based on their experience using these products for 1 week each during the 2-weeks treatment period; (ii) the subject indicated how much each of the 22 items under the application, formulation, and container domains contributed to their overall decision of which product they preferred. This part of the SPA tool used a 4-point scale ranging from ‘very important factor’ to ‘not at all important factor’. The statistical significance of each of the following 7 baseline characteristics (gender, age, disease severity, distribution, plaque size, skin thickness, onset) was tested in a 2-factor logistic regression model with treatment sequence and each baseline characteristic as factors. Results for multiple regression analyses are provided in the Clinical Study Report found on the LEO Pharma website.

    Within subject difference in response to Topical Product Usability Questionnaire (TPUQ) items between trial treatments
    End point description
    Each response category (item 1 to 25) was assigned a numeric score (-2=strongly disagree, -1=slightly disagree, 0=neither agree nor disagree, 1=slightly agree, 2=strongly agree). For item 26, each response category was assigned a score (from -2=very dissatisfied to 2=very satisfied). Summary scores were calculated by summing numeric scores for items under each domain, i.e., application (items 1-9; score range -18 to +18), formulation (items 10-18; score range -18 to +18), container (items 19-22; score range -8 to +8), and satisfaction (items 23-25; score range -6 to +6). Positive scores indicate agreement with domains’ items. A total TPUQ summary score (item 1-25; score range -50 to +50) was also calculated. The summary scores were analysed in the same way as the individual questions. The higher score signifies higher preference in that domain. Results of multiple regression analyses are provided in the Clinical Study Report which can be found on the LEO Pharma website.

    End point description
    The TPUQ tool was used to evaluate the subject’s latest topical treatment at Baseline (used within 3 months prior Baseline). TPUQ assessments of trial treatments at Week 1 and Week 2. Each response category was assigned a numeric score as described in Primary endpoint. For each subject and each item, the latest topical treatment score was compared with each study treatment by calculating the difference between the scores, i.e., by subtracting the latest topical treatment score from each study medication score.

    Responses to Comparison to Last Topical Treatment Questionnaire (CLTT) for each of the 2 trial treatments
    End point description
    Subjects in both arms (foam-gel; gel-foam) indicated whether they preferred latest topical treatment, LEO 90100 aerosol foam, Daivobet® gel, or did not have any preference. The subject compared the trial treatment used the previous week with the latest topical treatment (used within 3 months prior to baseline; CLTT analysis set). Each item was scored with either ‘prefer latest treatment’, ‘no preference’, or ‘prefer trial medication (foam or gel)’. A subject could prefer both study treatments over the latest topical treatment. The percentage is given for the number of subjects preferring foam and number of subjects preferring gel.

    The VPM questionnaire was analysed the same way as the TPUQ. Numeric scores were calculated by assigning the following values to each response category: -3 = Extremely unappealing, -2 = Moderately unappealing, -1 = Slightly unappealing, 0 = Neutral, 1 = Slightly appealing, 2 = Moderately appealing, 3 = Extremely appealing. A summary score was defined as the sum of all questions and could range from -21 to 21.
