Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Study of Apremilast (CC-10004) in Subjects With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque-Type Psoriasis (Core Study) (NCT NCT00773734)

NCT ID: NCT00773734

Last Updated: 2020-05-07

Results Overview

PASI-75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 16. The improvement in PASI score was used as a measure of efficacy. The PASI 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).

Participant Flow

The study consisted of a 16-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase, and a 8-week active treatment phase. At Week 24, subjects may have continued on active treatment by entering a 28-week extension study, total = 52 weeks; At completion of the extension study, subjects may have entered in a long term extension (LTE) for 5 + years.

Time gaps between the end of one study phase and start of the next phase precluded the continuation of some of the participants in the study.

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population = all randomized participants. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used for imputing missing values

PASI-75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 16. The improvement in PASI score was used as a measure of efficacy. The PASI 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).

Population: The PASI 100 was not defined and analyzed since there were too few such participants.

A participant was classified as having achieved a PASI-100 response if the PASI score was reduced by at least 100% from baseline. 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).

Population: The Shift change in sPGA was not defined and analyzed. A response defined as achieving sPGA score 0 or 1 with at least 2 points reduction from baseline was a more meaningful clinical endpoint. See other pre-specified outcome measures.

Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) was a measure of psoriasis disease severity at the time of evaluation by the investigator. It does not compare assessments across visits or rely on investigator recall of prior disease severity. The sPGA is a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear, except for residual discoloration) to 5 (severe; majority of plaques have severe thickness, erythema, and scaling). The investigator examined all of the lesions on the participant and assigned a score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema and degree of scaling. Scores for thickness, erythema and scaling are then summed and the mean of these 3 scores equaled the overall sPGA score. Fractional values for the sPGA were rounded to the next highest integer (eg, a score of 3.5 was rounded to 4, 3.4 was rounded to 3).

The DLQI was a validated, self-administered, 10-item questionnaire that measures the impact of skin disease on subjects' quality of life, based on recall over the past week. Domains include symptoms, feelings, daily activities, social, leisure, work or studying, personal relationships and treatment. Each question on the extent of the impact of skin disease was answered on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); the total DLQI score ranged from 0 to 30. A DLQI score greater than 10 is indicative of severe psoriasis.

Scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health. Two overall summary scores were obtained - a Physical Component Summary score (PCS) and a Mental Component Summary score (MCS). Scores from the 8 scales, PCS and MCS were transformed to the norm-based scores using weights from U.S. general population, with 50 as the average and 10 as the standard deviation, higher scores indicating better health. For norm based scores, change from baseline were calculated for the 8 scales and the two summary scales, where change = visit value - baseline value.

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 52

Population: Includes participants who entered the extension study; LOCF was used.

PASI-75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 52. The improvement in PASI score was used as a measure of efficacy. The PASI 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).

PASI-90 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 90% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 52 of the extension study. The improvement in PASI score was used as a measure of efficacy. The PASI 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).

Population: The Shift change in sPGA was not defined and analyzed. A response defined as achieving sPGA score 0 or 1 with at least 2 points reduction from baseline was a more meaningful clinical endpoint. See pre-specified outcome measures.

Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) was a measure of psoriasis disease severity at the time of evaluation by the investigator. It does not compare assessments across visits or rely on investigator recall of prior disease severity. The sPGA is a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear, except for residual discoloration) to 5 (severe; majority of plaques have severe thickness, erythema, and scaling). The investigator examined all of the lesions on the subject and assigned a score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema and degree of scaling. Scores for thickness, erythema and scaling are then summed and the mean of these 3 scores equaled the overall sPGA score. Fractional values for the sPGA were rounded to the next highest integer (eg, a score of 3.5 was rounded to 4, 3.4 was rounded to 3).

Each question on the extent of the impact of skin disease was answered on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); the total DLQI score ranged from 0 to 30. A DLQI score greater than 10 is indicative of severe psoriasis.

The SF-36 was a 36-item general health status instrument and consists of 8 scales: physical function (PF), role limitations-physical (RP), vitality (VT), general health perceptions (GH), bodily pain (BP), social function (SF), role limitations-emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). Scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health. Two overall summary scores were obtained - a Physical Component Summary score (PCS) and a Mental Component Summary score (MCS). Scores from the 8 scales, PCS and MCS were transformed to the norm-based scores using weights from U.S. general population, with 50 as the average and 10 as the standard deviation, higher scores indicating better health. For norm based scores, change from baseline were calculated for the 8 scales and the two summary scales, where change = visit value - baseline value.

Time to loss of response was modified to be 50% loss in the PASI response observed at the end of treatment for participants who achieved at least a PASI-50 at the end of treatment. This definition was changed since participants may have already lost their maximal PASI response prior to enrollment into the Observation Follow-up Phase. Included all participants that enrolled into the observational follow-up phase after the treatment phase.

An AE was any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence, that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the participant's health, including laboratory test values regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) was considered an AE. A serious AE (SAE) is any untoward adverse event that is fatal, life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, requires or prolongs existing in-patient hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a condition that may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. An AE is a treatment emergent AE if the AE start date is on or after the date of the first dose of study drug and no later than 28 days after the last dose.

An AE was any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence, that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the participant's health, including laboratory test values regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) was considered an AE. A serious AE (SAE) is any untoward adverse event that is fatal, life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, requires or prolongs existing in-patient hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a condition that may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. An AE is a treatment emergent AE if the AE start date is on or after the date of the first dose of study drug and no later than 28 days after the last dose.

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

Population: The Shift change in sPGA was not defined and analyzed. A response defined as achieving sPGA score 0 or 1 with at least 2 points reduction from baseline was a more meaningful clinical endpoint.

Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) was a measure of psoriasis disease severity at the time of evaluation by the investigator. It does not compare assessments across visits or rely on investigator recall of prior disease severity. The sPGA is a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear, except for residual discoloration) to 5 (severe; majority of plaques have severe thickness, erythema, and scaling). The investigator examined all of the lesions on the participant and assigned a score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema and degree of scaling. Scores for thickness, erythema and scaling are then summed and the mean of these 3 scores equaled the overall sPGA score. Fractional values for the sPGA were rounded to the next highest integer (eg, a score of 3.5 was rounded to 4, 3.4 was rounded to 3).

The DLQI was a validated, self-administered, 10-item questionnaire that measures the impact of skin disease on subjects' quality of life, based on recall over the past week. Domains include symptoms, feelings, daily activities, social, leisure, work or studying, personal relationships and treatment. Each question on the extent of the impact of skin disease was answered on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); the total DLQI score ranged from 0 to 30. A DLQI score greater than 10 is indicative of severe psoriasis.

The SF-36 was a 36-item general health status instrument and consists of 8 scales: physical function (PF), role limitations-physical (RP), vitality (VT), general health perceptions (GH), bodily pain (BP), social function (SF), role limitations-emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). Scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health. Two overall summary scores were obtained - a Physical Component Summary score (PCS) and a Mental Component Summary score (MCS). Scores from the 8 scales, PCS and MCS were transformed to the norm-based scores using weights from U.S. general population, with 50 as the average and 10 as the standard deviation, higher scores indicating better health. For norm based scores, change from baseline were calculated for the 8 scales and the two summary scales, where change = visit value - baseline value.

The SF-36 was a 36-item general health status instrument and consists of 8 scales: physical function (PF), role limitations-physical (RP), vitality (VT), general health perceptions (GH), bodily pain (BP), social function (SF), role limitations-emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). Scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health. Two overall summary scores were obtained - a Physical Component Summary score (PCS) and a Mental Component Summary score (MCS). Scores from the 8 scales, PCS and MCS were transformed to the norm-based scores using weights from U.S. general population, with 50 as the average and 10 as the standard deviation, higher scores indicating better health. For norm based scores, change from baseline were calculated for the 8 scales and the two summary scales, where change = visit value - baseline value.

The sPGA was a measure of psoriasis disease severity at the time of evaluation by the investigator. It does not compare assessments across visits or rely on investigator recall of prior disease severity. The sPGA was a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear, except for residual discoloration) to 5 (severe; majority of plaques have severe thickness, erythema, and scaling). The investigator examined all of the lesions on the participant and assigned a score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema and degree of scaling . Scores for thickness, erythema and scaling are then summed and the mean of these 3 scores equaled the overall sPGA score. Fractional values for the sPGA were rounded to the next highest integer (eg, a score of 3.5 was rounded to 4, 3.4 was rounded to 3). A lower sPGA score was associated with less severe disease
