Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate of the Efficacy and Safety of Ruxolitinib Cream in Participants With Hidradenitis Suppurativa (NCT NCT05635838)

NCT ID: NCT05635838

Last Updated: 2024-11-01

Results Overview

The mixed model repeated measure (MMRM) included the fixed effects of the treatment group (ruxolitinib 1.5% and vehicle cream), stratification factor (Baseline AN count of ≥3 to 4 or ≥5 to 10), visit, and visit-by-treatment interaction. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 16 value minus the Baseline value.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline; Week 16

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all randomized participants. Treatment groups were defined according to treatment assignment at randomization. Only participants with available data were analyzed.

The mixed model repeated measure (MMRM) included the fixed effects of the treatment group (ruxolitinib 1.5% and vehicle cream), stratification factor (Baseline AN count of ≥3 to 4 or ≥5 to 10), visit, and visit-by-treatment interaction. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 16 value minus the Baseline value.

Pre-existing ANs at Baseline were defined as abscesses and/or inflammatory nodules present at Baseline. All new ANs identified during the study in an anatomical area that had pre-existing ANs at Baseline were counted. Any new ANs identified in an anatomical area that was initially free of ANs at Baseline were not counted. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The MMRM included the fixed effects of the treatment group (ruxolitinib 1.5% and vehicle cream), stratification factor (Baseline AN count of ≥3 to 4 or ≥5 to 10), visit, and visit-by-treatment interaction. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 16 value minus the Baseline value.

The Skin Pain NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall) of the worst level of skin pain related to Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The participants rated the pain severity of their Hidradenitis Suppurativa by selecting a number from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain) that best described their worst level of pain in the past 24 hours. The MMRM included the fixed effects of the treatment group (ruxolitinib 1.5% and vehicle cream), stratification factor (Baseline AN count of ≥3 to 4 or ≥5 to 10), visit, and visit-by-treatment interaction. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 16 value minus the Baseline value.

The Itch NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall) of the worst level of itch intensity related to Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

The IHS4 is a composite, dynamic score and validated tool used to determine Hidradenitis Suppurativa severity. IHS4 score was calculated by the number of inflammatory nodules (multiplied by 1) plus the number of abscesses (multiplied by 2) plus the number of draining tunnels (multiplied by 4). Scores: mild=0-3; moderate=4-10; severe ≥11. The MMRM included the fixed effects of the treatment group (ruxolitinib 1.5% and vehicle cream), stratification factor (Baseline AN count of ≥3 to 4 or ≥5 to 10), visit, and visit-by-treatment interaction. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 16 value minus the Baseline value.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study drug. A TEAE was defined as any AE reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first application of study drug.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. A TEAE was defined as any AE reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first application of study drug. The severity of AEs was assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 Grades 1 through 5. Grade 1: mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; treatment not indicated. Grade 2: moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive treatment indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities of daily living. Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living. Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent treatment indicated. Grade 5: fatal.
