Filter by:This is a phase 1, multi-center, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blinded, parallel-group study. Approximately 6 sites will conduct the study at Germany. Approximately 61 patients (male and female) planned to be screened. 51 patient planned to be randomized. Patients will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms (KM-001 0.3%, KM-001 1%, or vehicle cream) iina a ration of 1:1:1 Patient's duration of participation will be up to 7 weeks, - a screening period with 1 visit (Visit 1) within up to 14 days (Days -14 to -1), - a 4-week treatment period with 3 visits (Visit 2 on Day 0, Visit 3 on Day 7, Visit 4 at Day 28 and 2 phone calls on Days 14 and 21, and - a 1-week follow-up period with 1 visit (Visit 5 on Day 35), as well as unscheduled visits as needed Since KM-001 is tested in humans for the first time, the safety of KM-001 will be evaluated in a subgroup of 6 patients (sentinel group) at selected sites prior to screening of the remaining sites. Efficacy assessments will include subjective assessments of itch and investigator assessment of the treatment effect on LSC target lesion using scoring systems. Safety parameter (including physical examination, vital signs, ECG, standard laboratory test, and PK analysis) will be monitored from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until the last follow-up visit. Recording of AEs and serious AEs (SAEs) will be done throughout the study with special attention to local AEs in the treatment area (LSC target lesion, dermal safety).
Participants with diseases characterized by chronic pruritus experiencing moderate to severe pruritus will be enrolled in this pilot Phase 2 study. The diseases characterized by chronic pruritus investigated in this pilot study currently include chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), chronic idiopathic pruritus (CIP), lichen planus (LP), lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) and plaque psoriasis (PPs).
Corticosteroid therapy, including intralesional and topical applications, has many indications within the fields of Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Orthopedics. However, these injections can be quite painful, which leads many patients to discontinue treatment. Often, the injection involves a mixture of local anesthetic and corticosteroids despite a lack of evidence that the use of lidocaine improves pain. Due to the acidic pH, the lidocaine component of the injection can actually cause a significant burning sensation during the procedure. Lidocaine does not have anti-inflammatory properties and does not treat the underlying pathology. By including another medication, lidocaine also adds cost and risk to the procedure. The purpose of this study is to see if removing lidocaine from intralesional injections decreases the pain of injection.
The objective of the study was to determine sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of "Three Rings Vulvoscopy" for detection of vulvar dermatosis using histopathology as the reference standard.
