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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety of CB-03-01 cream, 1% applied twice daily for an additional nine months in subjects with acne vulgaris that participated in the Phase 3 pivotal studies for a total treatment of up to 12 months. This was a multicenter, open label, long-term extension study for CB-03-01 cream, 1% focused on safety in male and female participants, 9 years or older who completed one of the Phase 3 pivotal studies [CB-03-01/25 and CB-03-01/26]. Participants applied the active medication (CB-03-01 cream, 1%) twice daily to the entire face and, if designated by investigator AND desired by the participant, truncal acne for nine additional months of treatment. Thus, overall participants were exposed to CB-03-01 cream, 1% for a total treatment of up to 12 months (0 or 3 months in the Phase 3 pivotal study and an additional nine months in this long-term safety study).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Male and female subjects 9 years of age or older who were enrolled and completed participation in one of the Phase 3 pivotal studies (CB-03-01/25 and CB-03-01/26) were enrolled in this study from study centers in the US, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, and Republic of Georgia. Interested individuals were given an opportunity to discuss the procedures involved in study participation with the site staff and the principal investigator. An IRB/IEC/LEC-approved informed consent/assent form and subject instruction sheet was given to the potential subject and an opportunity afforded to read , discuss and understand the consent/assent form and ask questions. This study was conducted in accordance with principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (7th revision), with the current Good Clinical Practice guidelines (ICH E6, Revision 2) and with other applicable regulations. The investigators and all study staff conducted the study in compliance with the study protocol. The rights, safety, and well-being of the study subjects were the most important considerations and prevailed over the interests of science and society.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    There were 609 subjects who were rolled over (i.e., enrolled) from the two Phase 3 pivotal studies (CB-03-01/25 and CB-03-01/26) into this long-term, safety study. However, two (2) subjects in the original vehicle cream were not treated with test article and thus were excluded from the study population (Safety set).

    Subjects in this arm received CB-03-01 (cortexolone 17α-propionate) Cream, 1% in the pivotal study and continued their CB-03-01 cream treatment in this open-label safety extension study. Subjects were instructed to apply CB-03-01 Cream, 1%, twice daily to whole face (about 1 gram) and affected areas of trunk (if applicable) for up to an additional 9 months. Over the course of the study, treatment on the face and/or trunk may be discontinued if/when acne clears and re-started if/when acne worsens, according to the assessment of the investigator for each respective treatment area. Cortexolone 17α-propionate (USAN/INN: clascoterone) is an androgen receptor inhibitor that is being developed as a 1% cream for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.
