Tolerability and Effectiveness of CGB-500 Topical Ointment, 1% Tofacitinib, for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of a 1% topical ointment of tofacitinib for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in adults. Adult patients with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis for at least 6 months will be treated with the test product or placebo for a period of 8 weeks with a follow-up visit at 12 weeks. The primary endpoints are safety and tolerability of CGB-500 Ointment and a comparison of effectiveness of CGB-500 Ointment and Vehicle Ointments in treating lesion(s) of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety and Tolerability [8 weeks]
Frequency of subjects with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs). • Frequency of subjects with skin irritation TEAEs and any other adverse skin reactions.
- Effectiveness [8 weeks]
Percent change from baseline in lesional Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score at Week 8. EASI is scored on a 0 - 6 scale with 0 being no eczema and 6 being 100% of the area affected by eczema.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) [8 weeks]
Percentage of subjects achieving Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) response of 'Clear' (Score 0) or 'Almost Clear' (Score 1) at Week 8.
- Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) [8 weeks]
Percentage of subjects who achieve a ≥75% improvement from baseline in lesional EASI score at Week 8
- Pruritis [8 weeks]
Change from baseline in peak lesional pruritus (itching) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score at Week 8. NRS goes from 0 to 10; with 0 signifying no itching and 10 signifying worst itch imaginable.

-
Have a clinical diagnosis of atopic dermatitis for at least 6 months prior to Day 0 (at the Screening and Baseline visit) that has been clinically stable for ≥3 months prior to dose administration and is confirmed to be atopic dermatitis according to the criteria of Hanifin and Rajka.

Ability to follow study instructions and likely to complete all required visits.
-
Have signed the Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any study-related procedures being performed.
-
Participating in any other clinical trial from 30 days prior to Screening and throughout the planned 12-week study period.
Exclusion Criteria:
