Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Adalimumab in Patients Who Showed an Unsatisfactory Response to Etanercept (NCT NCT00927069)

NCT ID: NCT00927069

Last Updated: 2011-09-09

Results Overview

Efficacy of adalimumab 40 mg every other week in patients in Group B by calculating the number of patients who achieve a PGA of clear or almost clear at Week 12. Clear is defined by no plaque elevation above normal skin. There is no scale. Erythema is perceptible as hyperpigmentation, pigmented macules, diffuse faint pink or red coloration. Almost Clear is defined as follows: It is possible but difficult to ascertain whether there is a slight elevation above normal skin. There is scaling in the form of surface dryness with some white coloration. Erythema is up to a difinite red coloration.

Measure
Group A
Patients who have shown an unsatisfactory response to 3 months of etanercept wihout dose reduction prior to screening.
