Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, and sequential group Phase 2 study. Eligible subjects aged 18 to 65 years old with PWB of face and/or neck area (except subjects for Stage One) will receive Hemoporfin PDT or vehicle PDT in 8-week cycles at fixed drug dose (5 mg/kg) and different light fluence.

Description:

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, and sequential group Phase 2 study. Eligible subjects aged 18 to 65 years old with PWB of face and/or neck area (except subjects for Stage One) will receive Hemoporfin PDT or vehicle PDT in cycles at fixed drug dose (5 mg/kg) and different light fluences. This study will be conducted in two sequential stages, each contains the same schedule, which includes Screening Period, Treatment Period apart; subsequent treatment is based on efficacy evaluation, and End of Study.

6. The longest diameter of the treatment area is =3 cm, and the short diameter is =2 cm.

7. Subject is capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.

8. Subject, in the Investigator's opinion, is in good general health and free of any disease state or physical condition that may impair the evaluation of PWB or expose the subject to an unacceptable risk by study participation.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is pregnant, lactating, or is planning to become pregnant during the study.

2. Subject has plaque/nodular changes and severe hypertrophy within the target PWB area.

3. Subject has Sturge-Weber syndrome or PWB involving ophthalmic nerves.

4. Subject has any skin pathology or condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, could interfere with the evaluation of the study drug or requires use of interfering topical, systemic, or surgical therapy.

5. Subject is immunosuppressed related to medication use and/or disease.

6. Subject has clinically significant ECG abnormalities at Screening

7. Subject has clinically significant laboratory abnormalities as assessed by the Investigator at Screening.

8. Subject has received any therapy on the treatment region that, in the Investigator's opinion, may affect the target PWB area.

10. Subject has used an investigational drug or investigational device treatment within 30 days prior to C1D1.

11. Subject is known or in the opinion of the Investigator likely to be noncompliant with the requirements of the study protocol (eg, due to alcoholism, drug dependency, mental incapacity).

12. Subject has a history of either significant neurological events (such as major stroke) or a mental condition rendering him/her unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study.

13. Subject has an unstable cardiac disease or has any medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator may worsen from receipt of study treatment or subject participation.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Stage One:Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of Hemoporfin	To check what time will it take to reach the maximum contraction of Hemoporfin	On the first day of the Cycle 1 (each cycle is 56 days)
Other	Stage One:Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC 0-8) from time 0 to infinity of Hemoporfin	To check the drug profile for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion for Hemoporfin	On the first day of the Cycle 1 (each cycle is 56 days)
Other	Stage One:Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of Hemoporfin	To check how much time Hemoporfin will take to eliminate half of it's concentration from participants.	On the first day of the Cycle 1 (each cycle is 56 days)
Other	Stage One:Time to Cmax (Tmax) of Hemoporfin	To check what will be the maximum concentration participants will obtained of Hemoporfin	On the first day of the Cycle 1 (each cycle is 56 days)
Primary	Stage One:Incidence of any local and systemic adverse events.	To compare the efficacy of multiple light doses (fluence) of Hemoporfin PDT To investigate the safety of multiple light doses (fluence) of Hemoporfin/vehicle PDT in subjects with Port-wine birthmark (PWB)	From baseline until end of study, up to approximately 44 weeks
Primary	Stage Two: Port Wine Birthmark-Investigator Global Assessment (PWB-IGA) scale score reduction.	To compare the efficacy of multiple light doses (fluence) of Hemoporfin PDT with vehicle PDT in subjects with PWB of face and/or neck.	From baseline until end of study, up to approximately 44 weeks
Secondary	Stage One:Change from Baseline in overall PWB-IGA severity score and other scales.	To further evaluate the efficacy of multiple light doses (fluence) of Hemoporfin/vehicle PDT in subjects with PWB.	From baseline until end of study, up to approximately 44 weeks
Secondary	Stage Two: Change from Baseline in overall PWB-IGA severity score and other scales.	To further evaluate the efficacy of multiple light doses (fluence) of Hemoporfin/vehicle PDT in subjects with PWB.	From baseline until end of study, up to approximately 44 weeks
Secondary	Stage Two: Incidence of any local and systemic adverse events.	To investigate the safety of multiple light doses (fluence) of Hemoporfin/vehicle PDT in subjects with Port-wine birthmark (PWB)	From baseline until end of study, up to approximately 44 weeks
