Study summary

Evelo will investigate the safety and tolerability of EDP1815 and its potential to be a medicinal product in healthy volunteers and individuals with mild to moderate psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with dose escalations to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effect of EDP1815. Since this clinical study is the first study in humans, the participants will be healthy volunteers or subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis or atopic dermatitis who are otherwise well. Investigation of EDP1815 in this patient population provides an opportunity to gain pharmacodynamic information using a range of tissue biopsies and composite clinical endpoints.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability measured through Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants with AEs by seriousness and relationship to treatment

    Time frame: Day 1 to Day 70

  2. Safety and tolerability measured through lab measurements

    Number of participants with clinically significant change from baseline (Day 0) in laboratory values

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 70

  3. Safety and tolerability measured through ECG

    Number of participants with clinically relevant changes from baseline (Day 0) ECG parameters

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 70

  4. Safety and tolerability measured through physical examination

    Physical examination of stool samples based on the Bristol Stool Scale (Types 3 and 4 are ideal stool): Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass); Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy; Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface; Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft; Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (easy to pass); Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool; Type 7: Watery, no solid pieces, entirely liquid

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 60

  5. GI safety measurement through biomarker analysis

    GI safety measurement through fecal calprotectin analysis

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 60

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical improvement in subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis

    Change from baseline (Day 0) Psoriasis-area-and-severity index score (PASI) in response to EDP1815, measured on a scale of 0 to 6 (where 0 is most favorable and 6 is least favorable).

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 70

  2. Clinical improvement in subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis

    Change from baseline (Day 0) Eczema-area-and-severity index score (EASI) in response to EDP1815, measured on a scale of 0 to 6 (where 0 is most favorable and 6 is least favorable).

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 70
