Study summary

This study is a double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trial. The study will take place at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The study will include 33-39 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe-Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) as well as 33-39 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea (PPR). Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to receive study drug or placebo.

Enrolled subjects will apply topical PF-07038124 0.02% ointment once daily for 8 weeks. They will return for visits at weeks 4, 8, and 12 following study treatment initiation for repeat clinical assessments, medication reviews, tape-strip, blood and urine sample collections, and monitoring for adverse events.

Read the detailed description

After providing consent, all subjects will be assessed for study eligibility, which includes a review of the subjects past and current medical conditions, familial medical history and detailed review of past and current medications. Subjects will also undergo a review of past topical treatments/therapies for SD or PPR, and clinical assessments (SD: clinical SD score, IGA, Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale [PP-NRS]; PPR: inflammatory lesion count, IGA, PP-NRS).

Subjects who meet inclusion criteria for eligibility may continue with the Baseline Visit (Week 0) or can be scheduled to return for the Baseline Visit within 28 days of the Screening Visit.

At Baseline/Week 0, subjects will undergo clinical assessments (SD: clinical SD Severity Score, IGA, PP-NRS; PPR: inflammatory lesion count, IGA, PP-NRS), review of concomitant medications, standardized clinical photography, and a Dermatology Life Quality index (DLQI) questionnaire. Subsequent clinical assessments including standardized clinical photography, and questionnaire completion will be performed at follow up visits at Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12. Skin tape-strip samples will be collected for mechanistic studies (described below) at baseline (lesional and non-lesional facial skin), Week 4 (lesional facial skin), Week 8 (lesional facial skin), and Week 12 (lesional facial skin). Additional blood samples will be collected and stored at baseline and at Week 8 (or early termination, whichever is first) for potential future mechanistic analyses.

  • Subject is able to understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent document prior to participation in any study assessments or procedures.
  • Subject is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
  • Diagnosis of SD and baseline IGA ≥ 3 with facial involvement

  • Subject agrees to discontinue all treatments for SD and PPR from screening through study completion aside from the study drug
  • Subject is judged to be in otherwise good overall health as judged by the investigator, based on medical history, physical examination, and laboratory testing. (NOTE: The definition of good health means a subject does not have uncontrolled significant co-morbid conditions).
  • Females of (FCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Baseline. While on the study drug and for at least 90 days after the last application of the study drug, male and female participants must be willing to take appropriate measures to avoid pregnancy or fathering a child. FCBP who engage in activity in which conception is possible must use one of the approved contraceptive options described below:

The female subject's chosen form of contraception must be effective by the time the female subject is enrolled into the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:

  • Subjects with other skin diseases that would interfere with the study assessment in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Active bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection within 2 weeks from study initiation.
  • Subject has (as determined by the investigator) renal, hepatic, hematologic, intestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, immunologic, or other major uncontrolled diseases (e.g., , TB, thromboembolic events) that will affect the health of the subject during the study, or interfere with the interpretation of study results.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
