Trial or other data
Apr 20Data from two PIII studies (NCT02608450 and NCT02608476; n=1440) showed that use of clascoterone cream, was associated with greater treatment success vs treatment with vehicle, with reductions in absolute non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesion counts [5].
Oct 18Cassiopea have announced that the Winlevi™ PIII clinical trial programme has demonstrated highly statistically significant improvements for all primary and secondary clinical end-points, and that the drug is generally safe and well tolerated. Cassiopea plans to present the data at a future medical meeting and also for consideration for publication in a peer-reviewed journal [4].
Oct 17PIII studies (NCT02608476 and NCT02608450) are still recruiting. Collection of primary outcome data expected to complete Dec 17 [3].
Mar 16PIII trial to investigate the long-term safety of CB 03 01 cream applied twice daily for an additional nine months in study participants with acne vulgaris that participated in the pivotal phase III studies (CB-03-01/25 and CB-03-01/26) for a total treatment of up to 12 months starts (NCT02682264; CB-03-01/27). The open-label trial is enrolling approximately 600 participants in the US [2].
Nov 15PIII trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of CB 03 01 cream for 12 weeks in participants with facial acne vulgaris starts (NCT02608450; CB-03-01/25). The double-blind, randomised trial will enrol approximately 700 participants in the US [2].
Nov 15PIII trial to determine the safety and efficacy of CB 03 01 cream 1%, as compared with the vehicle cream, applied twice daily for 12 weeks, in patients with facial acne vulgaris starts (CB-03-01/26; NCT02608476). The primary endpoints are the proportion of subjects achieving success at week 12 with an IGA score of “clear” (score = 0) or “almost clear” and at least a two-point reduction in IGA and an absolute change from baseline in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion counts in each treatment group at week 12. The double-blind, randomised, parallel trial is recruiting 700 patients in the US [2].
Nov 15Cassiopea announceds that the Winlevi™ PIII clinical trial programme will consist of two pivotal trials and intends to enrol 1,400 subjects aged 9 years or older with moderate to severe acne (grades 3-4) in the US and Europe [2].
