Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multiple-dose Regimen Study to Assess Effect of 12 Months of Secukinumab Treatment on Skin Response and Biomarkers in Psoriasis Patients (NCT NCT01537432)

NCT ID: NCT01537432

Last Updated: 2016-01-05

Results Overview

Histological sections of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsies at baseline and at Week 12 were examined. For each visit, each patient's lesional skin biopsy was scored for the degree of histological improvement compared to that patient's baseline disease on a five point scale; - 1 (worse) to +3 (excellent). Histological disease reversal or "excellent improvement" (histological disease reversal score = 3) was declared at the endpoint when all of the following four criteria were met.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: PharmacoDynamic PD -All patients with at least one evaluable post-treatment PD measurement and no protocol deviations with relevant impact on PD data.

Histological sections of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsies at baseline and at Week 12 were examined. For each visit, each patient's lesional skin biopsy was scored for the degree of histological improvement compared to that patient's baseline disease on a five point scale; - 1 (worse) to +3 (excellent). Histological disease reversal or "excellent improvement" (histological disease reversal score = 3) was declared at the endpoint when all of the following four criteria were met.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 52

Population: PharmacoDynamic PD -All patients with at least one evaluable post-treatment PD measurement and no protocol deviations with relevant impact on PD data.

Histological sections of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsies at Week 52 were examined. For each visit, each patient's lesional skin biopsy was scored for the degree of histological improvement compared to that patient's baseline disease on a five point scale; - 1 (worse) to +3 (excellent). Histological disease reversal or "excellent improvement" (histological disease reversal score = 3) was declared at the endpoint when all of the following four criteria were met.
