    ABSTRACT

    The acceptability and tolerability of calcipotriol solution was evaluated in an open, single center

    study. Patients with mild to moderate scalp psoriasis (and with concurrent psoriatic lesions on

    the body) were recruited at one center in the United Kingdom. Patients received caldpotriol

    solution (50 J,Lg/ ml) applied twice daily on the scalp without occlusion. A maximum of 60 m1

    solution was provided per week. Assessments were made after 2, 4 and 6 weeks.

    Eleven patients were included in the study. Five patients withdrew from the study for the

    following reasons: Default (3 patients), deterioration of psoriasis (1 patient) and 1 patient

    reported that ''the treatment was prunful" and "did not help".

    Patient's assessment of the acceptability of caldpotriol solution is shown in the table:

    Mean total sign score (ie sum of scores for redness, thickness and scaling) decreased from a

    mean of 8.7 (on a 12-point scale) at start of treatment to 6.0 at end of treatment.

    It is concluded that the acceptability, safety and efficacy of twice daily application of caldpotriol

    solution (50 J.Lg/ ml) should be further investigated in large, well-controlled studies of patients

    with scalp psoriasis.

    5 STUDY MEDICATION

    CaJdpotriol solution containing 50 JJ,g/mJ of calcipotriol in the following vehicle:

    Isopropanol Hydroxypropylcellulose Menthol Sodium citrate Propylene glycol Purified water

    5.1 STORAGE OF STUDY MEDICATION

    Study medication was stored at room temperature {i.e. below 25C).

    5.2 ADMINISTRATION OF STUDY MEDICATION

    The medication was applied twice daily (morning and evening). A few drops were

    applied to affected skin on the scalp and rubbed in lightly. Care was taken not to

    allow the solution to run on to the face. Patients were instructed to wash their hands

    I) B = Blood. 2

    > s-= s.- -

    In addition to the specific questions on acceptability of calcipotriol solution (see

    7.2.1), the investigator asked the patient: "Since I last saw you, has the treatment

    upset you in any way or have you noticed any uncharacteristic skin changes on the

    scalp?". If so, the nature, date of onset, duration, severity ("mild~, "moderate" or

    "severe~) and causal relationship to trial medication ("unlikely", "possible" or

    "probable") were recorded.

    The investigator also observed the patient's scalp for any uncharacteristic skin

    changes which were recorded.

  • MC 890 Study Page 17

    Any serious and unexpected adverse events were to be reported to the Company

    immediately (ie within 24 hours).

    8 PRESENTATION OF RESULTS

    i) a subjective assessment of the overall acceptability of the solution was

    made by the investigator.

    ii) all laboratory parameters were compared from baseline to each successive

    visit.

    iii) all adverse effects were documented. Those which were classified as

    "possibly" or "probably" related to study drug were listed.

    iv) all spedfic experiences reported were listed. The severity, type and

    persistence were documented.

    9 COMPLIANCE WITH ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES

    9.1 The investigator signed a statement to confirm that:

    9.1.1 the study would be conducted to conform with the Declaration of HeJsinki II as

    adopted by the 18th World Medical Assembly, 1964, and revised by the 29th World

    Medical Assembly, Tokyo, 1975, and Venice, 1983

    9.1.2 the patient only participated after giving signed informed consent having received

    verbal and written information about the study. The information emphasized that

    participation in the study was voluntary and that the patient couJd withdraw from

    the study at any time and for any reason

    9.1.3 the clinical trial was approved by the Medicines Control Agency in the United

    Kingdom and the local Ethics Committee.

    A total of 11 adult patients were evaluated for participation in the study and seen

    at visit 1.

    A total of 5 patients were withdrawn from the study, 3 patients defaulted, 1 after

    visit 2 and 2 patients after visit 3. One patient withdrew at visit 3 because of

    "deterioration of psoriasis" and one patient withdrew at visit 3 because she found

    "the treatment painful~ and that the treatment "did not help".

    10.2.2 Protocol violators

    The protocol listed a number of inclusion and exclusion criteria {see Section 3) with

    which the patients had to comply o be eligible for receiving treatment.

    Effect on total sign score

    The mean reduction in total sign score (ie sum of scores for redness, thickness and

    scaliness) from start to end of treatment was 2.7 (range 0 - 7).

    Table XV shows the extent of scalp psoriasis at respective visits and the changes in

    extent from baseline to end of treatment for all patients. Four patients had a

    reduction in extent recorded (range 10 -.. 60 cnf~) and 6 patients experienced no

    change in extent of their scalp psoriasis.

    If the patient's answer to the open question was "NO'', no further questions were

    asked.

    Further, the investigator observed the patient for adverse effects on the scalp.

    For each adverse event, the following related details were recorded in the Case

    Record Form.

    1) The adverse event in the investigator's own terminology.

    2) Date of first occurrence.

    3) The number of days since the preceding visit that the patient was affected by

    the adverse event.

    4) The investigator's opinion on the severity of the adverse event, classified as

    ''mild", .''moderate'' or ''severe".

    5) Whether the investigator consid~red the. relationship of the adverse event to the

    study drug to be ''unlikely", "possible" or "probable".

    In the analysis and presentation of adverse events, the following approach was used:

    A particular adverse event was counted only once for each patient, even if the

    adverse event was recorded repeatedly.

    The individual adverse event data, using the investigator's terminology, are

    presented in Table XVI.

    11 CONCLUSION

    The study showed that the acceptability, safety and efficacy of twice daily application

    of calcipotriol solution (SO ~g/ml) should be further investigated in large, well-

    controlled studies of patients with scalp psoriasis.
