According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT04664153) tested a topical (applied to the skin) treatment called PF-07038124 0.01% ointment against a vehicle (a plain ointment with no active ingredient, similar to a placebo) in two separate groups of people: those with atopic dermatitis (eczema) and those with plaque psoriasis. A total of 104 people started the trial — 34 received the vehicle and 36 received the active ointment for eczema, while 17 received the vehicle and 17 received the active ointment for psoriasis. All treatments were applied once daily. The trial measured changes in standard skin scoring tools over 6 weeks — a higher score on these tools means more severe disease, and a lower score means less severe disease. The reported data shows that for the eczema group, participants using the vehicle ointment had an average reduction of 35.5% in their eczema severity score (called EASI) from the start of the trial to week 6, while those using PF-07038124 had an average reduction of 74.9%. For psoriasis, the vehicle group's severity score (called PASI) changed by +0.1 points (essentially no change) from the start of the trial to week 6, while the PF-07038124 group's score reduced by 4.8 points. Among the secondary measurements reported for eczema, 44.4% of participants using PF-07038124 reached a score of "clear" or "almost clear" on a separate 5-point doctor's rating scale at week 6, compared with 8.8% in the vehicle group. By week 6, 61.1% of those using PF-07038124 had achieved at least a 75% improvement in their eczema severity score, compared with 20.6% in the vehicle group. The reported data also shows that for the self-reported itch score (rated from 0 to 10), 41.2% of PF-07038124 eczema participants reported a meaningful reduction in itch (defined as a drop of 4 or more points) by weeks 4 and 6, compared with 6.9% and 13.8% respectively in the vehicle group at those same time points. These figures describe only what was measured and recorded in this trial, and no conclusions about broader use should be drawn from them alone.
