Conditions

Skin Toxicities Associated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors

Brief summary

Part 1 (open-label PK cohort) • Investigating PK parameters including: measured drug concentrations above the lower limit of quantitation, number of participants with measurable systemic exposure; if data allow - area under the curve (AUC), maximum (or peak) concentration (Cmax), and time of peak concentration (Tmax), Part 2 (randomized double-blind cohort) • Proportion of participants with a grade ≤ 1 based on the ARIGA scale after 6 weeks of HT-001 treatment

Detailed description

• Change from Baseline in pruritus numeric rating scale (NRS; average itch and worst itch) after 3 weeks and 6 weeks of HT-001 treatment compared to placebo, • Change from Baseline in pain based on an NRS after 3 weeks and 6 weeks of HT-001 treatment compared to placebo, • Change from Baseline in acneiform rash grade based on the ARIGA scale at 3 weeks and 6 weeks of HT-001 treatment compared to placebo, • Time to improvement for at least 1 grade using the ARIGA scale for acneiform rash for HT-001 treatment compared to placebo, • Time to topical rescue therapy treatment after initiation of HT-001 treatment compared to placebo, • Proportion of patients with EGFRI dose reduction or discontinuation due to EGFR inhibitor skin toxicities after 6 weeks of HT-001 treatment compared to placebo, • Safety and tolerability of HT-001 as measured by: o Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs), • Safety and tolerability of HT-001 as measured by: o Skin irritation, as assessed using the modified Draize Scale to evaluate cutaneous signs of erythema and edema, • Safety and tolerability of HT-001 as measured by: o Physical examinations, • Safety and tolerability of HT-001 as measured by: o Vital signs, • Safety and tolerability of HT-001 as measured by: o 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG), • Safety and tolerability of HT-001 as measured by: o Clinical laboratory values (hematology, chemistry, urinalysis), including transaminase and bilirubin levels
