Brief summary
The investigational lotion is envisaged as an short- and long term Ease & Prevent monotherapy for adults and children with mild to moderate eczema. With itch representing the most burdensome symptom in eczema, the main objectives with the lotion is fast and efficient itch relief, high tolerability, and high short- and long term safety. This phase 1 study aims to monitor skin tolerability, and how much of the active compound that is absorbed to the bloodstream.
Detailed description
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Topical Lotion 1% (OP2101) is a novel formulation developed for the treatment of skin disorders characterized by pruritus. Research show that oral Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (FX) may lead to a small improvement of pruritus in patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD). In clinical practice, oral antihistamines are widely used off-label for pruritus relief in AD, indicating a discrepancy in trial outcomes and real-life experience. The pre-study thesis postulates that the antipruritic effect of FX can be leveraged in a dose-response relationship facilitated by high topical concentration of FX in direct contact with the pathological process of the skin. The sponsor also suggest that the Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) blocking property of FX is an untapped resource that is likely to be dose-response dependent and manifested by means of high topical concentration in proximity to the inflammatory process. The repositioning of FX to a topical treatment has the potential for high safety, efficacy, fast relief, and ease of use. OP2101 is also aimed at inflammation control, suppression of bacterial imbalance, moisture retention, upregulation of antimicrobial peptides, and skin barrier restoration. As such, it targets six of the pathological pillars of AD. Assessment of topical tolerability and skin adsorption (systemic exposure) are the main objectives in this phase 1 study.
Interventions
DRUGFexofenadine Hydrochloride Topical Lotion 1% (OP2101)
Intervention: The amount of study lotion (OP2101) used is 11 grams per subject, equivalent to 22 fingertip units (FTU). The lotion is applied to the subject on back and front of the trunk, both hands (palm and back) and both arms. An SOP for handling and application of the lotion ensures the 11 grams covers 54% of the body surface area (BSA) evenly without residue. Comment: The treatment is single-dose and single-treatment. The FTU is used to standardize the amount of cream being applied in clinical research. It is also used in clinical practice and hence connects the objectiveness of the trial to the clinical situation.
