A Randomized, Open-label, Comparative Study to Evaluate an Intermittent Dosing Regimen of Fluticasone Propionate 0.05% Cream (Twice Per Week) in Reducing the Risk of Relapse When Added to Regular Daily Moisturization Using PHYSIOGEL Lotion in Paedia

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-02-15
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open-label, randomized, comparative study, including 4 phases: SCREENING, ACUTE, MAINTENANCE and FOLLOW-UP.

Subjects will complete the SCREENING phase to check the eligibility within 7 days after they sign the written informed consent form. All eligible subjects will be enrolled in ACUTE phase to receive twice daily Fluticasone propionate (FP) 0.05% cream up to 4 weeks. The efficacy and safety in ACUTE phase will be assessed every 2 weeks up to 4 weeks or until Treatment Success which depends on which time point comes first. Then subject can get into the MAINTENANCE phase receiving either emollient twice daily plus FP 0.05% cream once daily twice a week (Group A), or emollient twice daily (Group B), by 1:1 randomization. The treatment duration in MAINTENANCE phase will be up to 20 weeks. The efficacy and safety in MAINTENANCE phase will be assessed every 4 weeks up to 20 weeks or until AD relapse that depends on which time point comes first. If subjects don't experience relapse during MAINTENANCE phase, subsequent FOLLOW-UP phase applying emollient twice daily won't be longer than another 12 weeks.

Total study duration is up to 37 weeks. All subjects receive FP 0.05% cream twice daily up to 4 weeks to all affected sites and any newly occurring sites in ACUTE phase. After randomization in MAINTENANCE phase, subjects either receive emollient twice daily extendedly plus FP 0.05% cream once daily twice a week to all healed sites and any newly occurring sites (Group A), or emollient twice daily extendedly (Group B), up to 20 weeks. In FOLLOW-UP phase, all subjects apply emollient twice daily up to 12 weeks.

This study will enrol 120 subjects, and propose at least 80 subjects to be randomized.

Study Endpoints/Assessments:

Primary endpoint is to observe the median time to the first relapse of AD during MAINTENANCE phase.

Secondary endpoints are:

1. Median time to the first relapse of AD during the whole study (including maintenance phase and follow-up phase.

2. Numbers of recurrent patients at the end of MAINTENANCE phase;

3. Numbers of recurrent patients at the end of FOLLOW-UP phase;

4. The effective rates (proportion of "treatment success" patients) during ACUTE phase (V3, W-2±2days;V4, W0±2days )

5. Evaluate the safety during the whole study duration (ACUTE phase, MAINTENANCE phase, FOLLOW-UP phase respectively);

6. Evaluate visual skin assessment for signs of cutaneous atrophy, epidermal thickening / lichenification and abnormal pigmentation changes during the whole study duration (ACUTE phase, MAINTENANCE phase, FOLLOW-UP phase respectively);

7. The change of Quality of Life (QoL) from baseline at the end of MAINTENANCE phase;

8. The change of Quality of Life (QoL) from baseline at the end of FOLLOW-UP phase;

9. Subjects' post-study evaluation to drugs.

Subjects eligible for enrolment in the MAINTENANCE phase of the study must meet all of the following criteria:

5. Achieve treatment success after receiving Fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream twice daily up to 4 weeks in ACUTE phase

Exclusion Criteria:

Deviations from exclusion criteria are not allowed because they can potentially jeopardize the scientific integrity of the study, regulatory acceptability or subject safety. Therefore, adherence to the criteria as specified in the protocol is essential.
