Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Brodalumab Compared With Placebo and Ustekinumab in Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis Subjects (NCT NCT01708629)

NCT ID: NCT01708629

Last Updated: 2020-01-03

Results Overview

The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score is used as a scale to show change from Baseline of study to a certain point. PASI Score ranges from (0) no disease to (72) maximal disease. The proportion of subjects achieving 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, PASI75, was assessed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: sPGA was only assessed as a comparison of Brodalumab (210mg and 140mg) to Placebo.

Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) measures the physician's impression of the disease. Possible scores are (0 \[clear\] to 5 \[severe\]). Success was defined by a score of 0 or 1 (clear to almost clear).
