Outcomes

Indero successfully managed this plaque psoriasis study and this resulted in:

Enrollment completion 5 months earlier than planned

 

Study Characteristics

  • Study Phase: II
  • Patient Population: Plaque Psoriasis
  • IP Route of Administration: Systemic
  • Total Enrollment: 224 patients, 59 sites (North America & Europe)​

 

Complex Study Procedures

  • TBNK / hsCRP: Non-frequent procedure necessitated collaboration with central lab to customize the kits and lab manual
  • Genetic testing
  • Novel take-home photography equipment

 

Study Challenges and Solutions

Challenges #1

IP Availability: Sponsor decided to initiate the study even if there was no sufficient IP available to cover all regions

Solutions

  • Indero adapted the country and site activation strategy accordingly
  • Activated less European sites than expected
  • Careful monitoring of the number of patients enrolled per site and regular communication with the sites

 

Challenge #2

IP Stability: IP stability data confirmed the drug’s expiry date could be extended, which required sites to relabel the IP up to 3 times, due to study duration

Solution

  • Indero shared specific relabeling procedures with sites and supported them during the process, ensuring impeccable documentation

 

Recruitment Curve

 

Strategies for Success

  1. Strong recruitment strategies were established due to expected recruitment challenges
  2. LTE and OLE parts were added to protocol
  3. Opened recruitment in Europe, in addition of North America

Revolutionize Your Topical Trials

Efficacy insights in days, not months.

 Indero’s Early Phase 1 model enables sponsors to initiate topical studies that detect early pharmacodynamic signals much sooner than traditional phase 1, using microdosing and transcriptomic analysis. This approach reduces preclinical requirements, shortens study duration from 8–12 weeks to ≀3 days, and lowers costs, helping teams make informed go/no-go decisions faster.
