Brief summary

A study to evaluate safety and efficacy of topical sirolimus to treat plantar keratoderma in adults with PC. Subjects may receive either placebo or treatment with at least 1 foot receiving topical sirolimus at some time. For certain phases of the study treatment assignment to the right and left foot will be randomized in a double blind fashion. Blood levels will test systemic absorption of sirolimus. Other safety and efficacy measures will be taken through the 39-week study duration. Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Split-body 1% Sirolimus Cream (TD201 1%)
This is a split-body design. Subjects will self-administer 1% topical sirolimus cream or placebo cream (no drug, vehicle control) on the plantar surface of each foot. At least one foot will be treated with topical sirolimus at some time during the study. Application will be one time daily for a total of 26 weeks. There will be an additional follow-up visit 3 months after the last application of study drug. The total duration of the study is 39 weeks. 1% sirolimus cream (TD201 1%): 1% sirolimus cream (TD201 1%)

Primary

Evaluation of Systemic Absorption Through Measurement of Serum Sirolimus Trough Levels

The primary outcome measure for this Phase 1b safety study is evaluation of system absorption through measurement of serum sirolimus trough levels. The limit of detection of the assay was 2.0 ng/mL.

Time frame: Two weeks and every 1-2 months for 24 weeks or within 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug

Population: Starting at week 13, visit 4, there were only 14 participants with available data.

Standardized Photographs

An expert in the disease who is blinded to the study treatment will read the photographs of the callus area taken at each study visit. The reader will assess changes to the calluses based on criteria such as blisters, cracks, small/large size, and red or bloody spots on the callus. Change in calluses will be reported for both the right and left foot.

Time frame: Each study visit over 39 weeks
