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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 objective of this study is to determine the adrenal suppression potential and the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of HBP Foam, 0.05% applied twice daily in subjects who are 12 to less than 18 years of age with stable plaque psoriasis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study protocol, consent/assent form, participant recruitment materials/process and other relevant study documents were submitted to involved Ethic Committee (ECs)/Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and approved prior to study initiation. This study was conducted in accordance with principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, with the current Good Clinical Practice guidelines and with other applicable regulations. The investigators and all study staff conducted the study in compliance with the study protocol. Interested individuals, male and female subjects 12 to 17 years of age, accompanied by their parent or legal guardian were given an opportunity to discuss the activities involved in study participation with the site staff and the principal investigator. An IRB/EC-approved informed consent/assent form and subject instruction sheet was given to the potential subject and his/her parent or legal guardian and an opportunity afforded to read the consent/assent form and ask questions. Those individuals interested in participation were requested to sign the informed consent/assent form prior to the performance of any study-related procedures. The rights, safety and wellbeing of the study subjects were the most important considerations and prevailed over the interests of science and society. Identifying any untoward medical occurrence and timely and complete reporting of all AEs was aimed at the most efficient protection of the safety of study subjects.

    Arm description
    All subjects enrolled in the study who were dispensed and applied HBP at least once were included in the analysis of safety and were considered the Safety population. Subjects applied the initial dose of HBP in the clinic on Day 1. The Evaluable population included those subjects in the Safety population who had both Screening and EOS serum cortisol data (pre- and post-cosyntropin stimulation) and met all specified criteria by protocol. Subjects included in the pharmacokinetic analysis (PK population) included those subjects who did not have any significant protocol deviations and must have had at least an 80% – 120% dose compliance based on number of applications.

    Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responses to stimulation by cosyntropin were dichotomized to “normal” and “abnormal”. An abnormal HPA axis response was defined as a 30-minute post-stimulation serum cortisol level that was ≤18 μg/dL at the end of study (EOS).

    Justification: The proportion of subjects manifesting laboratory based evidence of adrenal suppression at EOS is presented along with 95% confidence intervals for the Evaluable and Safety populations. Descriptive statistics for the daily dose of test article are tabulated separately for suppressed and non-suppressed subjects.

    End point description
    The IGA score (5-point scale of 0 to 4) is an evaluation of the overall severity of a subject’s psoriasis in the Treatment Area and takes into consideration the three individual characteristics of psoriasis (plaque elevation, scaling, and erythema). At Screening, Baseline Visit/Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15/EOS, the investigator will evaluate all active psoriasis plaques that are in the Treatment Area and report the single integer score that describes the overall severity of the subject’s psoriasis using the predefined scale (0-clear; 1-almost clear; 2-mild; 3-moderate; 4-severe).
