Efficacy and safety of HAT1 compared with calcipotriol in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate chronic plaque psoriasis: results from an open-label randomized comparative pilot clinical study.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is commonly treated with topical corticosteroids, oral cytotoxic drugs and biologic agents, which can be associated with significant adverse effects (AEs), high cost and response attenuation. Additionally, patients often use alternative therapies ad hoc, which can be challenging to integrate into a treatment regimen, owing to a lack of adequately powered controlled trials assessing efficacy and safety. We developed a novel topical botanical complex, herbal anti-inflammatory treatment (HAT1), through extensive preclinical in vitro and in vivo modelling to define key mechanisms of action and clinical potential. To assess the efficacy and safety of HAT1 in psoriasis, we performed a 10-week, open-label, pilot clinical trial comparing topical treatment of HAT1 with calcipotriol 0.005% in adult patients with mild to moderate psoriasis. Primary and secondary endpoints included the percentage of patients obtaining improvement of ? 75% in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75), Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) response, and evaluation of tolerability and safety of HAT1. In the HAT1 arm, 85.7% of study patients reached PASI 75 compared with 21.4% in the calcipotriol comparator group. Additionally, 78.6% of patients in the HAT1 arm achieved a 'clear' or 'minimal' PGA response. HAT1 was well tolerated, with no AEs observed throughout the trial. These results suggest that HAT1 reduces psoriasis disease activity in a clinically relevant manner. Ongoing studies, including well-powered, double-blind, randomized controlled trials will be required to assess the potential of HAT1 in psoriasis.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the comparative efficacy and tolerability of topical calcipotriol in the treatment of mild to moderate chronic plaque psoriasis.DesignQuantitative systematic review of randomised controlled trials.Subjects6038 patients with plaque psoriasis reported in 37 trials.Main outcome measuresMean difference in percentage change in scores on psoriasis area and severity index, and response rate ratios for both patients' and investigators' overall assessments of marked improvement or better. Adverse effects were estimated with the rate ratio, rate difference, and number needed to treat.ResultsCalcipotriol was at least as effective as potent topical corticosteroids, calcitriol, short contact dithranol, tacalcitol, coal tar, and combined coal tar 5%, allantoin 2%, and hydrocortisone 0.5%. Calcipotriol caused significantly more skin irritation than potent topical corticosteroids (number needed to treat to harm for irritation 10, 95% confidence interval 6 to 34). Calcipotriol monotherapy also caused more irritation than calcipotriol combined with a potent topical corticosteroid (6, 4 to 8). However, the number needed to treat for dithranol to produce lesional or perilesional irritation was 4 (3 to 5). On average, treating 23 patients with short contact dithranol led to one more patient dropping out of treatment owing to adverse effects than if they were treated with calcipotriol.ConclusionsCalcipotriol is an effective treatment for mild to moderate chronic plaque psoriasis, more so than calcitriol, tacalcitol, coal tar, and short contact dithranol. Only potent topical corticosteroids seem to have comparable efficacy at eight weeks. Although calcipotriol caused more skin irritation than topical corticosteroids this has to be balanced against the potential long term effects of corticosteroids. Skin irritation rarely led to withdrawal of calcipotriol treatment. Longer term comparative trials of calcipotriol versus dithranol and topical corticosteroids are needed to see whether these short term benefits are mirrored by long term outcomes such as duration of remission and improvement in quality of life.

Project description:Brodalumab, an interleukin-17 receptor A inhibitor, demonstrated rapid and robust efficacy with a favorable safety profile in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Here, we present data from a multicenter, open-label extension study in patients with plaque psoriasis with/without psoriatic arthritis who completed 64 weeks of treatment with brodalumab (140 or 210 mg, every 2 weeks [Q2W]). Patients were enrolled to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of a modified dose of brodalumab. Eligible patients were switched to a reduced dose of brodalumab (140 mg every 4 weeks on day 1) in the extension study; the dose and dosing interval were modified sequentially at the physician's discretion (minimum 140 mg every 8 weeks and maximum 210 mg Q2W) until drug approval, after which all patients were switched to 210 mg Q2W for postmarketing surveillance. Of the 129 patients enrolled, 107 (82.9%) completed the 108-week or more extension study. All patients had psoriasis that was well controlled with brodalumab treatment on day 1. Improvement in psoriasis-related symptoms, evaluated with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index, Dermatology Life Quality Index, Nail Psoriasis Severity Index, and American College of Rheumatology 20, 50 and 70, was maintained during the 108-week extension study. Brodalumab treatment was well tolerated throughout, and no new safety signals were identified. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse event was nasopharyngitis, followed by influenza and oral candidiasis. No cases of serious candida infection or Crohn's disease were observed in this study. Serious treatment-related adverse events, such as appendicitis, brain abscess, bacterial meningitis, colon cancer, immunoglobulin A nephropathy and tubulointerstitial nephritis, were reported in one patient each. No anti-brodalumab-binding antibodies or brodalumab-neutralizing antibodies were detected in any patient throughout the extension study. Overall, the long-term efficacy and safety of brodalumab were demonstrated over 108 weeks.
