Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Target Lesions With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 6.
The IGA is an instrument used in clinical trials to rate the severity of the subject's global disease and is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). In this trial, the IGA was a lesion-specific assessment and was evaluated separately for each of the 2 target lesions.
Week 6
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Number of Adverse Events (AEs) up to Week 6.
Week 0 to Week 6
Number of Subjects With AEs up to Week 6.
Week 0 to Week 6
Number of Lesion-specific, Treatment-related AEs up to Week 6.
Week 0 to Week 6
Number of Lesions With ≥2-point Reduction in IGA Score at Week 6 Compared to Baseline.
Week 0 to Week 6
Number of Lesions With ≥2-point Reduction in Erythema Score at Week 6 Compared to Baseline.
Week 0 to Week 6

Study Arms (2)
Delgocitinib cream 20 mg/g
EXPERIMENTALDelgocitinib cream applied twice daily for 6 weeks
Delgocitinib cream vehicle
PLACEBO COMPARATORDelgocitinib cream vehicle applied twice daily for 6 weeks
Interventions
Cream for topical application.
The cream vehicle is similar to the delgocitinib cream except that it does not contain any active ingredient.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histopathological findings (current or previous) consistent with clinical diagnosis of DLE.
- Unequivocal clinical diagnosis of 2 active DLE target lesions that were \<6 months old and amenable for clinical evaluation. This included lesions located on the scalp if they fulfilled all lesion-specific eligibility criteria.
- Target lesion IGA score of at least moderate severity (≥3) at screening and baseline.
- Target lesion erythema score ≥2 at screening and baseline.
You may not qualify if:
- Target lesion dyspigmentation score of 2 at screening or baseline.
- Target lesion scarring/atrophy score of 2 at screening or baseline.
- Target lesion scarring alopecia score of \>0 in scalp lesions at screening or baseline.
- Medical history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with clinically significant organ involvement (American College of Rheumatology SLE classification criteria no. 6 to 9) including SLE-related pleuritis or pericarditis (by clinical evaluation and electrocardiogram), and neurologic, renal, and/or other major SLE-related organ system involvement. SLE joint involvement was acceptable.
- Subjects with unstable or significant SLE disease activity findings that would, by its progressive nature and/or severity, interfere with the trial evaluation, completion, and/or procedures per the investigator's discretion.
- Other skin conditions at screening or baseline that would interfere with the evaluation of DLE.
- Immunosuppressive/immunomodulating therapy with e.g. methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, retinoids (both topical and systemic), or dapsone within 4 weeks prior to baseline.
- Systemic prednisolone \>7.5 mg/day or changed dose within 4 weeks prior to baseline (nasal and inhaled corticosteroids were allowed).
- Treatment with the following medications:
- Oral antimalarial treatment with hydroxychloroquine \>6.5 mg/kg body weight/day, or chloroquine \>4 mg/kg body weight/day, or changed dose within 12 weeks prior to baseline.
- Quinacrine combined with either hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine within 12 weeks prior to baseline.
- Drugs known to interact with antimalarials (e.g. digoxin, cimetidine) within 12 weeks prior to baseline.
- Treatment with topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitors within 2 weeks prior to baseline.
- Use of systemic antibiotics or cutaneously applied antibiotics on the target lesions within 2 weeks prior to baseline.
- Ultraviolet (UV) therapy within 2 weeks prior to baseline.

Limitations and Caveats
The trial was terminated prematurely due to slow recruitment, and due to an anticipation that recruitment would become further delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting recruitment activities. The total number of subjects included in the trial therefore ended with 27 subjects randomised. 26 subjects completed the trial, as 1 subject withdrew from the trial due to an AE (moderate cutaneous lupus erythematosus \[CLE\]; reported term: cutaneous lupus erythematosus flare).
