thalidomide and Dermatomyositis, Adult Type

thalidomide has been researched along with Dermatomyositis, Adult Type in 7 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

An Additional Endpoint Analysis Would Assess the MMT-8 Score in Patients With Muscle Disease as Measured at 3 and 6 Months Compared to Baseline.

"MMT-8 (Manual Muscle Testing-8) score is a validated tool to assess muscle strength. Calculate the mean change in MMT-8 score at 3 and 6 month(s) compared to baseline in patients with muscle disease.~Units: Units on a scale. Scale goes from 0-150. 150 is perfect strength." (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: Data collected at 3 and 6 months after baseline visit

An Additional Secondary Endpoint Analysis Would Assess Quality of Life as Measured at 3 Months Compared to Quality of Life Measured at 6 Months

"Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a validated tool to measure quality of life in patients with skin disease. Complete response is defined by a DLQI of zero at 3, and 6 months. Partial response is defined by a decrease of DLQI of at least 5 points at 3, and 6 months compared to baseline. Calculation is performed as the DLQI at 3, and 6 months minus the score at baseline. Missing data will be handled using the last observation carried forward approach (LOCF).~Units : Units on a scale from 0-30, higher scores represent worse outcome." (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: Data collected at 3 and 6 months after baseline visit

An Additional Secondary Endpoint Analysis Would be Durability of Response Measured Participants CDASI Activity Score or Change in Their CDASI Activity Score at 6 Months Compared to 3 Months.

"The durability of response will be measured using the CDASI activity score at 6 months minus CDASI activity score at 3 months. Complete response durability is defined as zero or minus difference between CDASI activity score at 6 months and CDASI activity score at 3 months. Partial response durability is defined as >4 points difference between CDASI activity score at 6 months and CDASI activity score at 3 months. Missing data will be handled using the last observation carried forward approach (LOCF).~CDASI activity score: Units on a scale from 0-100. Higher scores represent worse outcome." (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: Data collected at 6 months compared to data collected at 3 months

The Primary Endpoint Analysis Would be Overall Response Rate Measured by the Number of Participants Experiencing at Least 4 Points Decrease in CDASI Activity Score at 3 Months.

"Cutaneous dermatomyositis disease area and severity index (CDASI) activity score is a validated tool to measure skin disease activity in dermatomyositis. The overall response rate (ORR) includes partial and complete responses. Complete response is defined by a CDASI activity score of zero. Partial response is defined by a decrease of CDASI activity score of at least 4 points. Calculation is performed as the CDASI activity score at 3 month(s) minus the score at baseline. Missing data will be handled using the last observation carried forward approach (LOCF).~CDASI activity score: Units on a scale from 0-100. Higher scores represent worse outcome." (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: Data collected at 3 months after baseline visit

2. The Secondary Endpoint Analysis Would be Safety as Measured by the Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Occurring During 6 Months of Therapy and 1 Month Follow up.

"The proportion of participants experiencing adverse events and serious adverse events was measured over 7 months period (6 months during the study and 1 month follow up) using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.~Grade refers to severity of the AE. The CTCAE displays Grades 1 to 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE:~Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age- appropriate instrumental Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated Grade 5 Death related to AE All adverse events subjects experienced were grade 1 or 2 which is mild to moderate in severity." (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: 7 months

An Additional Endpoint is to Assess the Gene Expression Profiling and Immunohistochemistry Analysis Change on Skin Biopsies at 3 Months Compared to Baseline.

Skin biopsies from lesional skin will be performed before treatment with apremilast and after 3 months of treatment to assess changes in gene expression profiling and immunohistochemistry stain. Gene expression profiling will be analyzed using inferential statistics with a False Discovery Rate (FDR) of < 0.05. (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: Data collected at 3 months after baseline visit

An Additional Endpoint is to Assess the Immunohistochemistry Analysis Change on Skin Biopsies at 3 Months Compared to Baseline.

Skin biopsies from lesional skin will be performed before treatment with apremilast and after 3 months of treatment to assess changes in immunohistochemistry stain. (NCT03529955)
Timeframe: Data collected at 3 months after baseline visit
