Crisaborole Pfizer EfficacySteroid-Free Crisaborole Pfizer has proven efficacy in patients ≥ 2 years

Overview

About ISGA

Baseline Characteristics

Crisaborole Pfizer was studied across a spectrum of patients
Crisaborole Pfizer  was studied in two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials treating 1522 patients 2 years and older with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (Crisaborole Pfizer n=1016, vehicle n=506)1,2I
  • The study included treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients following an appropriate washout period2

SELECT ENROLLMENT CRITERIA1,2

Key inclusion area:

  •  2 years of age or older
  • Clinical diagnosis of ISGA Mild (2) or Moderate (3) atopic dermatitis
  • Atopic dermatitis involvement ≥5% treatable BSA (excluding scalp)

Key exclusion criteria:

  • TCS or TCI use within 14 days of study
  • Significant active infection
  • Any previous use of biologic therapy
  • Systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressant use within 28 days of study

a5 patients were randomized but did not receive Crisaborole Pfizer.2

BASELINE CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS, POOLED DATA​​​​​​​

bIn the pivotal trials, races other than Caucasian included American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, Other.2

What is vehicle?The Emollient-rich Vehicle control used in clinical studies is the same petrolatum-based, proprietary, nonmedicated ointment formulation in Crisaborole Pfizer only without the active ingredient crisaborole. Ointments contain emollients which can help lock in moisture and soften the skin.5

Utilizing a vehicle arm is a standard way to test the effect of a topical product. Comparing Crisaborole Pfizer to the vehicle provided evidence of the effect of the active ingredient, crisaborole, in pivotal trials.
Clinical trial endpoints
