Conditions

Atrophic Scar

Brief summary

The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single administration of TRTP-101 in adults with atrophic scars.

Detailed description

A phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) following single-dose administration of TRTP-101 into four or more atrophic scar sites. Subsequently, a phase 2 clinical trial will be conducted using a placebo-controlled, split-face design to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TRTP-101. Eligible subjects will have atrophic scars approximately 2 cm in diameter located on both sides of the face (e.g., the cheek or temple areas), and TRTP-101 and placebo will be administered to the respective sides of the face.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
[Phase 1] Number of Subjects with Dose Limiting Toxicitywithin 4 weeksDose Limiting Toxicity is defined as Grade ≥ 3 adverse drug reaction according to CTCAE criteria for 4 weeks after administration of TRTP-101
[Phase 2] Proportion of subjects achieving ≥ 1-grade improvement from baseline in ASRS12, 24 weeks after treatmentProportion of subjects with ≥ 1-grade improvement from baseline in ASRS (Acne Scar Rating Scale) at 12, 24 weeks after treatment, as assessed by independent reviewers using a standardized photoguide \*The Acne Scar Rating Scale (ASRS) is a 5-grade scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Very mild, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, and 4 = Severe). Higher grades indicate greater severity of atrophic scars and therefore a worse outcome.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
[Phase 2] Proportion of subjects achieving ≥ 1-grade improvement on the GAIS12, 24 weeks after treatmentProportion of subjects with ≥ 1-point improvement from baseline on the GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale) at 12, 24 weeks after treatment, as assessed by independent reviewers. \*The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) is a 5-grade scale ranging from -1 to 3 (-1 = Worse, 0 = No change, 1 = Improved, 2 = Much improved, and 3 = Very much improved). Higher grades indicate greater aesthetic improvement and therefore a better outcome.
[Phase 2] Distribution of subjects by treatment satisfaction score12, 24 weeks after treatmentDistribution of subjects by treatment satisfaction score at 12, 24 weeks after treatment, assessed using the Subject Acne Scar Self-Assessment Scale. \*The Subject Acne Scar Self-Assessment Scale is a 5-grade scale ranging from -2 to +2 (-2 = Very dissatisfied, -1 = Dissatisfied, 0 = Somewhat satisfied, +1 = Satisfied, and +2 = Very satisfied). Higher grades indicate greater satisfaction with acne scars and therefore a better outcome.
