E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the phase II study is to identify the most appropriate dose of topical everolimus in terms of efficacy and safety and in the phase III, to demonstrate its superiority versus placebo for treatment of FA in patients with TSC after 6 months of treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To evaluate the efficacy of topical everolimus versus placebo by: Clinical assessment of FA (composite score); Blinded assessment of the redness using Reactiv’IP system; Assessment of the FA size reduction with topical everolimus versus placebo; Assessment of FA global improvement from patient’s and dermatologist’s perspectives; Improvement of quality of life of patients. 2. To correlate the results of the primary endpoint with the results of the clinical assessment of FA. 3. To evaluate safety of topical everolimus: Local tolerance of topical everolimus; Systemic safety of topical everolimus.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the mean reduction of the validated and published score for assessment of angiofibromas, the Facial Angiofibroma Severity Index (FASI) after 6 months of treatment. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Efficacy assessments a. Clinical assessment of FA: Mean reduction of a composite clinical score (0-12) for FA. b. Blinded assessment of the redness and extension using Reactiv’IP system. c. FA size (in millimetres) of the 3 largest targeted FA papules. d. Global improvement of FA on a 7-point Likert scale i. Dermatologist’s global assessment of efficacy ii. Patient or parents self-assessment e. Dermatological quality of life of patients, self-assessment using 2 validated dermatological surveys, both available in French: i. DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) for adults ii. CDLQI (Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index) for children 2. Correlation of the results of FASI blindly assessed and the clinical assessment of FA 3. Safety of topical everolimus a. Local tolerance of the topical formulation applied: i. Patient self-assessment: composite scores of 5 items (stinging, burning, itching, dryness, and scaling), each item consists of 3 states: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. ii. The physicians will assess dryness and scaling scores. b. Safety of the topical formulation applied: i. Quantification of blood levels of topical everolimus. ii. Laboratory assessments (creatinine, serum electrolytes including Na, K, Cl, CO2, Ca, Total protein and Urea, liver enzymes, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, complete blood count). iii. Adverse events and serious adverse events
