Pharmacodynamic Effects of Topical Omiganan in Patients With Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis in a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Trial.

ABSTRACT: Omiganan is an indolicidin analog with antimicrobial properties that could be beneficial for patients with atopic dermatitis. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II trial we explored the efficacy, pharmacodynamics, and safety of topical omiganan once daily in 36 patients with mild to moderate atomic dermatitis. Patients were randomized to apply topical omiganan 1%, omiganan 2.5%, or vehicle gel to one target lesion once daily for 28 consecutive days. Small but significant improvements in local objective SCORing Atopic Dematitis index and morning itch were observed in the omiganan 2.5% group compared with the vehicle gel group (-18.5%; 95% confidence interval, -32.9 to -1.0; P = 0.04; and -8.2; 95% confidence interval, -16.3 to -0.2; P = 0.05, respectively). A shift from lesional to nonlesional skin microbiota was observed in both omiganan treatment groups, in contrast to the vehicle group. Thus, treatment with topical omiganan improved dysbiosis in patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, and small but statistically significant improvements in clinical scores were detected. Our findings warrant further exploration in future clinical trials.

Project description:IntroductionAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a heterogeneous disease, with involvement of the T-helper cell (Th) 2, Th22, and potentially Th17 pathways, supporting the use of interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-22 blockade in AD.MethodsThis phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT03706040) evaluated the efficacy and safety of risankizumab, an IL-23 inhibitor, in patients (≥ 12 years old) with moderate-to-severe AD, defined by an Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) ≥ 16, affected body surface area ≥ 10%, and a Validated Investigator Global Assessment for AD (vIGA-AD) score ≥ 3. Patients were randomized 2:2:1 to 16-week treatment with risankizumab 150 mg, risankizumab 300 mg, or placebo in period A; patients receiving placebo were re-randomized 1:1 to risankizumab 150 mg or 300 mg and patients receiving risankizumab continued on their randomized dose in 36-week period B. Study drug was administered at baseline and weeks 4, 16, 28, and 40. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 75% reduction from baseline in EASI (EASI 75) at week 16. Safety was analyzed in all randomized patients who received study medication.ResultsNeither the risankizumab 150 mg (n = 69) nor the 300 mg dose group (n = 69) demonstrated a significantly higher proportion of patients achieving EASI 75 at week 16 compared with the placebo group (n = 34; treatment difference [95% CI] 13.0% [-1.7 to 27.7%; P = 0.084] and 10.0% [-4.6 to 24.6%; P = 0.179], respectively). Most adverse events were mild to moderate in severity; five patients receiving risankizumab reported serious adverse events, including two patients who reported cellulitis.ConclusionsRisankizumab was generally well tolerated, with no new safety concerns identified. The study's primary endpoint was not met, with no significant difference in the proportion of patients achieving an EASI 75 response at week 16 with risankizumab 150 mg or 300 mg versus placebo.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT03706040.

Project description:Importance:Topical medication is the central treatment for patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), but the options are limited. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors are a new candidate for AD therapy. Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical PDE4 inhibitors in mild to moderate AD. Data Sources:Clinical trials were identified from MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials, Chinese medical databases (Wanfang, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China Science and Technology Journal Database), ClinicalTrials.gov, and other trial registries from inception to August 15, 2018. No restrictions on languages were placed. Study Selection:Only double-blind randomized clinical trials with topical PDE4 inhibitors vs topical vehicle treatment for patients with mild to moderate AD were included. Data Extraction and Synthesis:Two reviewers independently extracted study features, intervention details, and outcomes. A meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model. The Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias assessment tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Funnel plots and Egger tests were used to assess the publication bias. Main Outcomes and Measures:Changes from baseline in target lesion score were expressed in terms of standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs. Outcomes of investigators' assessment and safety were expressed in terms of relative risk with 95% CIs. Results:Seven studies were identified, which included 1869 patients with mild to moderate AD. Overall, compared with the topical vehicle control, topical application of PDE4 inhibitors was associated with a significant decrease in target lesion score (SMD -0.40; 95% CI, -0.61 to -0.18; P < .001) and a higher response rate in investigators' assessment of clear or almost clear skin (relative risk, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.33-1.70; P < .001). There was no difference in treatment-related adverse events or in adverse events that required discontinuation of therapy. Subgroup analyses indicated that after 14 and 28 days of therapy with PDE4 inhibitors, target lesion score was significantly decreased. However, these beneficial effects were displayed only for the PDE4 inhibitors crisaborole and AN2898 (crisaborole at day 14: SMD, -0.59; 95% CI, -1.15 to -0.02; P = .04; AN2898 at day 14: SMD, -0.76; 95% CI, -1.38 to -0.13; P = .02; crisaborole at day 28: SMD, -0.86; 95% CI, -1.44 to -0.28; P = .004; AN2898 at day 28: SMD, -0.68; 95% CI, -1.30 to -0.05; P = .03). Heterogeneity was not significant across studies. Conclusions and Relevance:This meta-analysis suggests that topical PDE4 inhibitors are a safe and effective treatment for mild to moderate AD. Current evidence supports the use of crisaborole or AN2898 as the choice of maintenance or sequential therapy for mild to moderate AD.

Project description:BackgroundTopical anti-inflammatory therapy is a cornerstone of treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). However, many unmet needs remain with existing therapies. B244 is a live topical biotherapeutic being tested for the reduction of pruritus and improvement of eczema signs in patients with AD. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of B244, compared to vehicle, for patients with mild-to-moderate AD and moderate-to-severe pruritus.MethodsIn this randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2b trial, adults aged 18-65 years with mild-to-moderate AD and moderate-to-severe pruritus were enrolled across 56 sites in the USA. Patients were randomised 1:1:1 into a low-dose (optical density at 600 nm [OD] 5.0), high-dose (OD 20.0), or vehicle group for the 4-week treatment period and a 4 week follow-up period. Patients were instructed to apply the topical spray twice daily throughout the treatment period. Randomisation was centrally based (random alternating blocks of 6 and 3) and stratified by site. All participants, investigators, and those assessing outcomes were blinded to the treatment group assignments. The primary endpoint was the mean change in pruritus as measured by the Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) at 4 weeks. Safety was tracked throughout the study. Primary efficacy analyses included the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population, encompassing those who received at least one dose of study drug and attended at least one post-baseline visit. The safety population included all participants who received at least one does of study drug. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04490109.FindingsBetween June 4, 2020 and October 22, 2021, 547 eligible patients were enrolled. All study endpoints were meaningfully improved with B244 compared to vehicle. The WI-NRS score was reduced by 34% (-2.8 B244 vs -2.1 placebo, p = 0.014 and p = 0.015 for OD 20.0 and OD 5.0), from a baseline score of >8. B244 was well tolerated with no serious adverse events (SAEs); treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and treatment related TEAEs were low in incidence, mild in severity, and transient. 33 (18%) of 180 patients given B244 OD 5.0, 29 (16%) of 180 patients given B244 OD 20.0, and 17 (9%) of 186 patients given placebo reported treatment-emergent adverse events; headache was the most frequent (3%, 2%, and 1%, respectively).InterpretationB244 was well tolerated and demonstrated improved efficacy compared to vehicle in all primary, secondary, and exploratory endpoints and should be further developed as a novel, natural, fast-acting topical spray treatment option for AD and associated pruritus.FundingAOBiome Therapeutics.

Project description:IntroductionCrisaborole topical ointment, 2%, is a nonsteroidal, topical anti-inflammatory phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (AD). The objective of the current analysis was to compare the efficacy of crisaborole 2% relative to pimecrolimus 1%, tacrolimus 0.03% and tacrolimus 0.1% in patients aged ≥ 2 years with mild-to-moderate AD by comparing improvement in Investigator's Static Global Assessment scores ( (ISGA scores of 0/1 indicating "clear or almost clear"). ISGA was selected as the primary efficacy outcome given the US Food and Drug Administration's recommendations on the use of ISGA for assessment of global severity in AD and to align with efficacy measurements in the crisaborole registration trials. Safety endpoints could not be analyzed due to differences in outcome definitions across studies.MethodsEfficacy of crisaborole was evaluated using individual patient data (IPD) from two pivotal phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and efficacy of comparators was evaluated using published RCTs included in a previous network meta-analysis. Vehicle controls were not comparable due to differences in ingredients and population imbalance and, therefore, an unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) was used, which reweighted IPD for crisaborole to estimate absolute response in comparator populations.ResultsThe odds of achieving an improvement in ISGA score was higher with crisaborole 2% versus pimecrolimus 1% (odds ratio [OR] 2.03; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.45-2.85; effective sample size = 627, reduced from 1021; p value < 0.001) and for crisaborole 2% versus tacrolimus 0.03% (OR 1.50; 95% CI 1.09-2.05; effective sample size = 311, reduced from 1021; p = 0.012).ConclusionThe unanchored MAIC suggests that the odds of achieving an improvement in ISGA score is greater with crisaborole 2% than with pimecrolimus 1% or tacrolimus 0.03% in patients aged ≥ 2 years with mild-to-moderate AD. These results are consistent with findings from the previously published network meta-analysis, which used a different methodology for performing indirect treatment comparisons.
