First Human Dose Study of Anti-IL-20 in Psoriasis: A Study of Safety, Tolerability and Early Signals of Biologic and Clinical Effects
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is evaluate the safety and tolerability of anti-IL-20 in patients with psoriasis and to determine the preliminary efficacy in an expansion phase of this trial.
This trial consists of 3 parts: A single dose (SD) dose-escalation phase for 16 weeks, a multiple dose (MD) dose-escalation phase for 22 weeks, and a MD expansion phase for 22 weeks.
Initiation of the MD expansion phase will depend on results from the SD and MD dose-escalation phases and only if an acceptable safety profile is present. Subjects participating in the expansion phase are not allowed to have participated in the previous phases (SD and MD dose-escalation phases) of the trial.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - SD phase [from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 16]
- Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - MD and MD expansion phases [from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 22]
- Improvement psoriasis area and severity index score by 75% (PASI75) - MD expansion phase [at weeks 1-7, 9-15, 22]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Observed toxicity using the US National Cancer Institute's common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) - MD expansion phase [from week 0 until end of trial observation period at week 22]
- Improvement psoriasis area and severity index score by 75% (PASI75) - SD and MD phases [SD: at weeks 1, 3, 9, 13 and 16. MD: at weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 22]
- Pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) - SD and MD phases [SD: Prior to dosing (week 1) and through 24 hours and at each visit (week 1-3, 5, 9, 13 and 16). MD: Prior to dosing and at each dosing visit (week 1, 3, 5, 7)]
- Pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) - MD expansion phase [prior to dosing (week 1) and at each dosing visit (week 2-7)]
- Pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) - SD and MD phases [SD: Prior to dosing (week 1) and through 24 hours and at each visit (week 1-3, 5, 9, 13 and 16). MD: Prior to dosing and at each dosing visit (week 1, 3, 5, 7)]
- Pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) - MD expansion phase [prior to dosing (week 1) and at each dosing visit (week 2-7)]
