- Global program to commence with pivotal study B7451012 in North America, Australia and Europe; broader regional rollout in 2018
NEW YORK, NY, USA I December 14, 2017 I Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) today announced the initiation of a Phase 3 program for its once-daily Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor PF-04965842, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PF-04965842 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). This is the first trial in the JAK1 Atopic Dermatitis Efficacy and safety (JADE) global development program.
“By initiating this Phase 3 program in atopic dermatitis, we hope to provide a new potential treatment option for people suffering with this condition,” said Michael Corbo, Chief Development Officer, Inflammation & Immunology, Pfizer Global Product Development. “Pfizer continues to build a leadership position in inflammation and immunology research with the advancement of this important, Pfizer-discovered investigational oral JAK1 inhibitor.”
About the Phase 3 Trial B7451012
This Phase 3 trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PF-04965842 in 375 patients 12 years and older with moderate-to-severe AD. Trial participants will be randomly assigned to receive 200 mg or 100 mg once daily or placebo.
The primary endpoints are the proportion of patients achieving an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0/1 and ≥2 point improvement, and the proportion of patients with at least a 75% or greater change from baseline in their Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score. Key secondary endpoints include the pruritus numerical rating scale, the Pruritus and Symptoms Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (PSAAD) electronic diary and safety measures such as the incidence of treatment emergent adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The treatment duration will be 12 weeks, the same duration as the Phase 2b study B7451006, with a 4 week safety follow-up period or the option to enter a long-term extension study (B7451015) at Week 12. More on the study can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier NCT03349060.
The design of the Phase 3 trial is based on the Phase 2 results that were presented at the 26th Congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology in September 2017.
About Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis, also commonly called atopic eczema, is inflammation of the skin and characterized by erythema (redness), itching (pruritus), induration (hardening)/papulation (formation of papules), and oozing/crusting.
About Pfizer’s Kinase Inhibitor Leadership
PF-04965842 is an oral small molecule that selectively inhibits Janus kinase 1 (JAK1). Inhibition of JAK1 modulates multiple cytokines involved in pathophysiology of AD including interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, IL-31 and interferon gamma (IFNɣ).
“We look forward to advancing other kinase inhibitors currently in mid-stage research for other diseases such as alopecia, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis,” said Michael Vincent, M.D, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer of Inflammation and Immunology Research at Pfizer.
Pfizer has established a leading kinase research capability with multiple unique kinase inhibitor therapies in development. As a pioneer in JAK science, the Company is advancing several investigational programs with novel selectivity profiles, which, if successful, could potentially deliver transformative therapies for patients. Pfizer has three additional kinase inhibitors in Phase 2 development across multiple indications:
- PF-06651600: A JAK3 inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and alopecia areata
- PF-06700841: A tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2)/JAK1 inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and alopecia areata
- PF-06650833: An interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
