Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase 2 randomized, multi-center, double-blind, vehicle controlled, 90 day, safety, efficacy, and systemic exposure study followed by a 90 day open-label extension of trifarotene cream in adults and adolescents with autosomal recessive ichthyosis with lamellar scale.

Description:

This is a 2-cohort, multicenter study in subjects with moderate to severe LI. Adults (Cohort A) and adults and adolescents (Cohort B) will be randomized in a double-blind fashion to 1 of 2 doses of active or vehicle and treated twice weekly for 90 days. Subjects who complete the randomized, double-blind portion of the study will be eligible to enter a 90 day, open-label extension study.

Approximately 15 adults (≥18 years old) will be randomized into the first cohort of subjects (Cohort A) in a 1:1:1 ratio and treated twice weekly for up to 90 days. If no safety issues are identified, both adults and adolescents (ages 12-17 years, inclusive) will be allowed to enroll in Cohort B. Subjects in Cohort B will be randomized 1:1:1 and treated twice weekly for up to 90 days in the same manner as subjects in Cohort A.

All subjects who complete 90 days of double-blind study treatment will be eligible to enroll in a 90 open-label extension. Subjects in the open-label extension will receive active twice weekly for up to 90 days.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	The Difference in Mean Ectropion Scores Between the Active and Vehicle Groups	The Ectropion Severity Score (ESS), is a proven system to be reliable and sensitive to the presence of ectropion and has a maximum score of 8 points (0-8). A higher score indicates a worse ectropion. The score takes the severity of ectropion in terms of lateral and medial apposition, scleral show, conjunctival show, and roundness of the eye into account and gives an indication of the functional aspects involved in ectropion by scoring redness, excess tear film, and the position of the lacrimal punctum A point scale of 0=Nonaffected, 0.5=Emerging, 1= Affected is assigned to 8 observations.; Lateral apposition; Medial apposition; Sceral show; Conjunctival show; Excess team film; Redness of the eye; Round canthus; Punctum lacrimale	180 Days
Other	Quality of Life Measurement Per EQ-5D-5L	The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument developed by the EuroQol Group as a measure of health-related quality of life used in a wide range of health conditions and treatments. The EQ-5D consists of a descriptive system and the EQ visual analog scale (VAS). Descriptive system of health-related quality of life states consisting of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each of which can take 1 of 5 responses.; no problem; slight problems; moderate problems; severe problems; extreme problems It should be noted that the numerals 1-5 have no arithmetic properties and should not be used as a cardinal score. The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a 20 cm vertical, visual analogue scale with endpoints labelled 100-'the best health you can imagine' and 0-'the worst health you can imagine'. This information can be used as a quantitative measure of health as judged by the individual respondents.	180 Days
Other	Incidents of Adverse Events	The number of subjects with AEs will be collected for each treatment group	180 Days
Other	Measurement of Local Tolerability	Local tolerability will be assessed on a 0-3 scale (none, mild, moderate, severe).	180 Days
Other	Clinical Laboratory Evaluations	The number of subjects with clinical laboratory values categorized as below (vital signs, 12 lead electrocardiogram, Physical Exam), within, or above normal ranges will be evaluated (changes from baseline for each clinical laboratory parameter by treatment group and by study visit).	180 Days
Other	Measurement of Vital Signs	Blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP] and pulse will be measured. Measurement of actual values and changes from baseline will be calculated. Vital signs The number of subjects with vital signs values categorized as below, within, or above normal ranges (change from baseline for each parameter by period, by treatment group and by study visit).	180 Days
Other	Measurement of 12-lead ECG Readings	The number of subjects with normal and abnormal ECG findings will be measured for each treatment group at each time point for QT and the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) calculated using Fridericia's QT correction methods.	180 Days
Other	Physical Examination Findings	The number of subjects with normal and abnormal findings in the complete physical examination for each treatment group. This is a limited physical examination to include HEENT, cardiorespiratory, abdomen, and range of motion.	180 Days
Other	Measurement of Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC)	Measurement of the extent of absorption using estimates of the area-under-the-curve (AUC).	180 Days
Other	Measurement of Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)	Measurement of therate-of-absorption using the maximum concentration (Cmax) and the time of Cmax (Tmax).	180 Days
Primary	The Percentage of Subjects in Each Treatment Group Who Experienced Successful Resolution of LI.	The percentage of subjects in each treatment group who experienced successful resolution of LI where "success" is defined as clear/almost clear on treated areas and at least a 2-grade change from Baseline at Day 90/end-of-treatment (EOT) in the Double-blind Period on the 5-point IGA full body scale.	90 Days
Secondary	Total 16-point Visual Index for Ichthyosis Severity (VIIS)	5-point Visual Index for Ichthyosis Severity (VIIS) for scaling (overall 16 points) for scaling, i.e. 0-4 points for 4 body areas: chest/abdomen, back, arms and legs) where minimum is 0 and maximum is 16 (e.g. 4 points for each of the four body parts).; 0 (Clear) No scaling; (Almost Clear) Very fine, non-coalescent scales; (Mild) Small and thin, non-coalescent scales; (Moderate) Large and rather thick scales starting to coalesce; (Severe) Very large, adherent, coalescent and very thick scales	90 Days
Secondary	The Difference in Mean Scores Using Individual Score for Roughness	The amount of roughness of the skin will be measured on a 5-point scale. 0 (Clear) Smooth skin; (Almost Clear) Hardly palpably roughness; (Mild) Mild roughness (fine sand paper-like); (Moderate) Moderate, coarse roughness (coarse sand paper-like); (Severe) Very coarse skin (broken cornflakes-like)	90 Days
Secondary	The Difference in Mean Scores Using Palm Sole Assessment	Thickening of the skin on the palms and soles will be measured on a 5-point scale: 0 (Clear) No thickening, no roughness, no fissure; (Almost Clear) Only slight thickening, minimal to no roughness, no fissures; (Mild) Some thickening, mild roughness on palpation, few fissures may be present; (Moderate) Substantial and diffuse thickening, coarse roughness on palpation may be present, fissures may be present; (Severe) Very thickened and rough skin, numerous fissures	90 Days
Secondary	The Difference in Proportion of Subjects With Presence of Fissures on Palms Between the Active and Vehicle Groups	Fissuring will be assessed by recording the presence or absence of fissures, the number of fissures present, and the pain associated with each fissure. The subject will assess pain associated with fissures as ranging from 0-3 (none, mild, moderate, severe) at day 90 between the active trifarotene cream HE1 and vehicle groups	90 Days
Secondary	Quality of Life Measurement Per Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)	The DLQI, or the Dermatology Quality of Life Index, is a dermatology-specific Quality of Life instrument. It is a simple 10-question validated questionnaire with 6 domains (symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment); higher scores indicate poorer quality of life. Responses collected are on a scale of 0-3 depending on the question relevance to the subject.; Response (Score) Very much (scored 3) A lot (scored 2) A little (scored 1) Not at all (scored 0) Not relevant (scored 0) A minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 30 is obtained by summing the score of each question. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.; 0-1 = no effect at all on patient's life 2-5 = small effect on patient's life 6-10 = moderate effect on patient's life 11-20 = very large effect on patient's life 21-30 = extremely large effect on patient's life	90 Days
Secondary	The Difference in Proportion of Subjects With Presence of Fissures on Soles Between the Active and Vehicle Groups	Fissuring will be assessed by recording the presence or absence of fissures, the number of fissures present, and the pain associated with each fissure. The subject will assess pain associated with fissures as ranging from 0-3 (none, mild, moderate, severe) at day 90 between the active trifarotene cream HE1 and vehicle groups	90 Days
