About

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1b/2a study designed to evaluate the safety of an investigational product called ATR-04, to reduce the severity of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) associated papulopustular rash on the face. This study will be performed at 10-12 clinical sites, with potentially a virtual component. Approximately 60 eligible subjects will participate. A subject's participation in the study will be up to a maximum of 86 days (up to 28 days for Screening, 28 days of BID treatment, and a 30 day no treatment follow-up period).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATR-04 compared to placebo.

Full description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1b/2a study designed to evaluate the safety of an investigational product called ATR-04 to reduce the severity of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) associated papulopustular rash on the face. This study will be performed at 10-12 clinical sites, with potentially a virtual component. After informed consent is obtained, subjects will enter a screening period for up to 28 days to determine eligibility prior to randomization.

Approximately 60 eligible subjects, will be randomized to receive ATR-04 or a placebo, in a ratio of 1:1.

On Day 1, subjects will be instructed on study medication administration technique, the first application by the subject will be observed in person, via telehealth or via video connection and the subject will be monitored for adverse events (AEs) for at least 20 minutes.

Subjects will perform twice daily (BID) study assigned medication applications for 28 days. Subjects will have in person or virtual visits throughout the study. Subjects will return all study materials (i.e. diary cards, and study medication containers, swabs) either in person or via mail on Day 29 for their End of Treatment visit.

Beginning on Day 1, subjects will be assessed for safety. In addition, subjects' faces will be examined and assessed utilizing the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) in person or via a virtual visit. Subjects will complete the Quality of Life (QoL) tool and standardized digital photographs will be taken.

A subject's participation in the study will be up to a maximum of 86 days (up to 28 days for Screening, 28 days of BID treatment, and a 30 day no treatment follow-up period).
