Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a proof of concept pilot study to investigate the efficacy of mepolizumab in the treatment of eosinophilic fasciitis.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This is an exploratory study designed to generate preliminary data in evaluating the efficacy of mepolizumab (Nucala) in the treatment of EF using mean change in the Rodnan Skin score (mRSS) before and after treatment. The study is powered at 90% to detect a 4 point change in the mRSS at a 5% significant level with a minimum target accrual of 6 patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) [24 weeks]
Mean change before and after treatment. The mRSS is a standardized scored assessment of tissue sclerosis as assessed by palpitation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Localized Scleroderma Skin Severity Index (mLoSSI) score [24 weeks]
Mean change before and after treatment. mLoSSI score quantifies disease activity.
- Localized Scleroderma Damage Index (LoSDI) score. [24 weeks]
Mean change before and after treatment. LoSDI score quantifies disease damage.
- Localized Scleroderma Cutaneous Assessment Tool (LoSCAT) [24 weeks]
Mean change before and after treatment. LoSCAT is a composite score of disease activity (mLoSSI) and disease damage (LoSDI).
- Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PhysGA-A) [24 weeks]
Mean change before and after treatment. PhysGA-A is a 100-mm analog scale anchored by "inactive" at 0 and "markedly active" at 100.
- Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Damage (PhysGA-D) [24 weeks.]
Mean change before and after treatment. PhysGA-D is a 100-mm analog scale anchored by "no damage" at 0 and "markedly damaged" at 100.
- Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI) [24 weeks.]
Mean change before and after treatment. DLQI is a skin-specific health questionnaire with higher scores reflecting decreased quality of life
- Patient Global Assessment of Disease Severity (PtGA-S) [24 weeks.]
Mean change before and after treatment.PhysGA-A is a 100-mm analog scale anchored by "not severe" at 0 and "very severe" at 100.
