NCT ID: NCT00521339

Last Updated: 2020-05-07

Results Overview

TEAE = any AE occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment with any study drug. Related = suspected by investigator to be related to study treatment. National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\], Version 3.0, grades: 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life threatening, 5 = death. Adverse event (AE) = any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence occurring at any dose that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study, including new intercurrent illness, worsening concomitant illness, injury, or any concomitant impairment of participant's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Serious adverse event (SAE) = any AE which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; constitutes an important medical event.

Participant Flow

Participants must have had a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis for at least 6 months and had an insufficient response, were unresponsive, intolerant of, or had medical contraindications to standard systemic therapy or biological treatment for plaque-type psoriasis. The study was conducted at 4 sites in the U.S. from 20 August 2007 to 12 May 2009.

The study consisted of a 12-week treatment phase, a 12-week treatment extension phase and a 4-week observational follow-up phase. Participants could enter the follow-up phase at any time during the study. Some participants had completed the study before the extension phase was added and therefore never had the opportunity to participate.

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Safety population consisted of all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study medication. Last Observation Carried Forward.

The static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) rated the investigator's overall clinical assessment of a participants plaque thickness, erythema, and scaling on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear, except for residual discoloration) to 5 (majority of plaques have severe thickness, erythema, and scale). To assign a sPGA score, the investigator examined all psoriatic lesions and assigned a severity score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema, and scaling. Scores for thickness, erythema, and scaling are summed and the mean of these 3 scores equals the overall sPGA score. Decreases in sPGA correspond to clinical improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Safety population consisted of all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study medication.

The PASI score was a measure of psoriatic disease severity taking into account qualitative lesion characteristics (erythema, thickness, and scaling) and degree of skin surface area involvement on defined anatomical regions. PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. Erythema, thickness, and scaling are scored on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (very severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement). The total qualitative score (sum of erythema, thickness, and scaling scores) was multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant. These values for each anatomic region are summed to yield the PASI score.

PASI-75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 12. The improvement in PASI score was used as a measure of efficacy.

PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. Erythema, thickness, and scaling are scored on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (very severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs.

Timeframe: Day 85 Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours after the AM dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) Population, consisting of all participants with evaluable plasma concentration data for Apremilast.

Plasma concentrations of apremilast were determined using validated chiral liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods (LC-MS/MS). For Day 1, AUC0-12 was calculated, using linear trapezoidal area method in WinNonlin (linear-linear trapezoidal). For Days 85 and 169/170, the AUC during a dosing interval (12 hours) (AUC0-12), was calculated at steady-state using the partial area function within WinNonlin. .

T cells or T lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, play a role in cell-mediated immunity. T cells are distinguished from other lymphocytes by the presence of a T-cell receptor (TCR) on the cell surface and mature in the thymus. B cells, a type of lymphocyte in the humoral immunity of the adaptive immune system can be distinguished by the presence of a protein on the B cells outer surface called a B cell receptor (BCR). This receptor protein allows a B cell to bind to a specific antigen and make antibodies against antigens \[(antigen-presenting cells APCs)\], and to develop into memory B cells after activation by antigen interaction. Natural Killer Cells (NK) are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system. Their role is analogous to that of cytotoxic T cells in the vertebrate adaptive immune response. They constitute the third kind of cells differentiated from the common lymphoid progenitor generating B and T lymphocytes and mature in the bone marrow.

The aim of the study was to measure the pharmacodynamic effects of apremilast in participants with plaque psoriasis in skin affected by psoriasis, immune cells enter the skin through blood vessels and cause the epidermis to grow very rapidly and to stop shedding properly. This causes thickening of the skin as well as the scaly build up composed of dead skin cells seen on areas affected by psoriasis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Population includes participants who took at least 1 dose of study medication and were measured for the Inflammatory Marker in Psoriatic Skin Biopsies at Baseline and Week 12. Participation was optional for the pharmacodynamic portion of the study.

Inflammatory markers associated with psoriasis (using skin biopsies) were used to detect acute inflammation and as markers of treatment response. The inflammatory markers were measured using Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is being measured.

DLQI was the dermatology-specific quality of life (QOL) measure used for the psoriatic population. The DLQI was a validated, self-administered, 10-item questionnaire that measures the impact of skin disease on a participants QoL, based on recall over the past week. Domains include symptoms, feelings, daily activities, leisure, work, personal relationships, and treatment. Possible responses for each of the 10 items are: not at all, a little, a lot, and very much. Each question is rated on a scale of 0 to 3 with a total range of 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate greater impact of disease on QOL

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 12

Population: Safety population consisted of all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study medication. If participant had a missing evaluation for any time point assessments, the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method of imputation was used.

The SF-36 was a self-administered instrument consisting of 8 multi-item scales that assess 8 health domains: 1) limitations in physical activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems; 4) bodily pain; 5) general mental health (psychological distress and well-being); 6) limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems; 7) vitality (energy and fatigue); and 8) general health perceptions. A higher score post-baseline is indicative of improvement in the disease state. The summary physical health score included physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain and general health. The summary mental health score included: vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health. The resulting score for each subscale is then standardized, to obtain values ranging from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating a better QOL.
