RTA 408 Lotion in Healthy Volunteers
NCT02029716 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is a first-in-human study of a topical dermal lotion formulation of RTA 408, a novel small molecule which suppresses oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, the safety, local pharmacodynamics (PD), and systemic pharmacokinetics (PK) of RTA 408 will be evaluated following topical application of RTA 408 Lotion to healthy volunteers. This study will be conducted in three parts. In Part A of the study, healthy volunteers will have RTA 408 Lotion Vehicle and RTA 408 Lotion (0.5%, 1%, and 3%) applied to a small skin surface area (four individual 4-cm2 sites; 16 cm2 total area) twice daily for 14 days to assess the local skin tolerability, local PD, and systemic PK of these treatments. Part B will be conducted after completion of Part A and will assess the safety, tolerability, local PD, and systemic PK of RTA 408 Lotion applied topically twice daily for 14 days to a larger skin surface area (\~100 cm2). Part C will be conducted after completion of Part B and will assess the safety, tolerability, local PD, and systemic PK of RTA 408 Lotion applied topically twice daily for 28 days to a larger skin surface area (\~500 cm2). The maximum tolerated drug concentration in Part A will be used in Part B and Part C. Approximately 32 healthy adult volunteers will be enrolled in this study with 12 volunteers in Part A and 10 volunteers each, in Parts B and C.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02029716
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02029716 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 109 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Biogen, which has 74 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Healthy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which RTA 408 Lotion 0.5%, 1%, 3% is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02029716 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
