Brief summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of INCB018424 PHOSPHATE CREAM in cutaneous LP as assessed by the change in Physician Global Assessment (PGA), Body Surface Area (BSA), Index Treatment and Control Lesion by Clinical Assessment Scale of Severity for Index Lesion Signs and Symptoms (CAILS) score, Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Skindex-16. To predict responses through the identification of unique biomarkers of LP at week 0 and utilizing RNA sequencing on responsive and non-responsive tissue at week 4.

Detailed description

This is a single center, exploratory, open-label, single-arm design study of 12 patients. Treatment naïve and treatment refractory patients with LP will be treated with INCB018424 PHOSPHATE CREAM. Patients who are non-responders, to physician choice standard of care, will undergo a washout period and will be enrolled in the study. The study consists of 3 epochs: screening/washout period (of at least 1 week and up to 4 weeks), treatment epoch (of 8 weeks from screen/washout), and follow up epoch (of 4 weeks). The screening and washout period will allow for treatment naïve/ new diagnosis LP to undergo evaluation and diagnosis and for treatment refractory to undergo a washout. The total duration of the study will be 13-16 weeks.

Interventions

INCB018424 PHOSPHATE CREAM 1.5%, topical application, twice daily on lesions of cutaneous LP.
