Résumé

Hybrid trials are a new trend in dermatological research that leverage mobile health technologies to decentralize a subset of clinical trial elements and thereby reduce the number of in-clinic visits. In a Phase I/IIa randomized controlled hybrid trial, the safety and efficacy of an anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory drug inhibiting cytosolic phospholipase A2 (AVX001) was tested using 1%, 3% or vehicle gel in 60 patients with actinic keratosis (AK) and assessed in-clinic as well as remotely. Over the course of 12 weeks, patients were assessed in-clinic at baseline, end of treatment (EOT) and end of study (EOS), as well as 9 times remotely on a weekly to biweekly basis. Safety outcomes comprising local skin reactions (LSR; 0-5), adverse events (AE) and cosmesis, were graded in-clinic and remotely using patient-obtained smartphone photographs (PSPs) and questionnaires; efficacy was assessed in-clinic based on clinically visible clearance of AK target area of >50%. A total of 55 participants (91.7%) completed the treatment course. The average submission rate of PSPs was high (≥85%), of which 93% were of sufficient quality. No serious AE were reported and only two experienced temporary LSR >2 (scale 0-4) and cosmesis remained stable throughout the study. Based on the mild AE and LSR profile, daily application of AVX001 gel for 1 month appears safe, tolerable, and cosmetically acceptable for use in patients with AK. At EOT, AVX001 achieved a subtle treatment response with clearance of AK target area of >50% in 18% of patients. Remote and in-clinic assessments of LSRs were in high agreement, suggesting that the use of mobile health technologies in early-phase hybrid studies of AK does not compromise patient safety.
