Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Secukinumab Compared to Fumaderm® in Adults With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis. (NCT NCT02474082)

NCT ID: NCT02474082

Last Updated: 2017-10-27

Results Overview

PASI score is an average degree of severity of signs in head \[H\], trunk \[T\], upper limbs \[U\] and lower limbs \[L\], assessed separately for erythema \[E\], thickening (plaque elevation, induration) \[I\], and scaling (desquamation) \[D\]. Area \[A\] covered by lesions on each body region was estimated as a percentage (%) of total area of that particular body region and was assigned a score of 0=0%; 1=1-9%; 2=10-29%; 3=30-49%; 4=50-69%; 5=70-89%; 6=90-100%. The head and neck, upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs correspond to approximately 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of the body surface area, respectively. PASI score was calculated as: PASI = 0.1(EH+IH+DH) AH + 0.2(EU+IU+DU) AU + 0.3(ET+IT+DT) AT + 0.4(EL+IL+DL) AL. PASI scores can range from 0 (no signs) to a maximum of 72.0. PASI 75 responders were participants who achieved \>=75% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Measure
Secukinumab
Participants were self-administered subcutaneously (s.c.) with a dose of 300 milligrams (mg) of secukinumab at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20. Secukinumab was injected in non-affected areas of the skin at front of thighs or lower abdomen (but not the area 5 centimeters (cm) around the navel).
Fumaric Acid (Initial and Maintenance Therapy)
Participants were daily self-administered with fumaric acid derivatives initial and maintenance therapy in dose-titrated scheme as per protocol. Dose was up-titrated weekly (1 tablet/day) until objective was achieved or until tapering was required or until the maximum dose of 2 tablets each at morning, noon and evening was reached, whichever occurred earlier.

Population: The analysis was performed in FAS population. Here 'number analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for BSA at week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24.

The Body surface area (BSA) affected by plaque-type psoriasis was the total of percentages of areas affected, including head, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. Each reported percentage was multiplied by its respective body region corresponding factor (head = 0.1, trunk = 0.3, upper limbs = 0.2, lower limbs = 0.4). The resulting four percentages were added to estimate the total BSA affected by plaque-type psoriasis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

Population: The analysis was performed on FAS population. Here 'number analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for NAPSI 50 at week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,12,16, 20 and 24.

NAPSI was used to assess psoriatic nail involvement in participants with nail psoriasis. NAPSI score was calculated as total of nail matrix and nail bed score, ranging from 0-8 per nail. Total NAPSI score ranges from 0 to 80 for all fingernails. Each nail was divided with imaginary horizontal and longitudinal lines into quadrants. Each nail was given a score of 0 - 4 for nail matrix and nail bed psoriasis 0-4 (0: for none, 1: for 1 quadrant, 2: for 2 quadrants, 3: for 3 quadrants, 4: for all 4 quadrants), based on presence of any feature of nail psoriasis in that quadrant. Nail matrix psoriasis feature includes: pitting, leukonychia red spots in lunula, crumbling. Nail bed psoriasis feature includes: onycholysis, splinter hemorrhages, subungual hyperkeratosis, "oil drop" (salmon patch dyschroma). NPASI 50 responders were participants who achieved \>=50% improvement (reduction) in NPASI score compared to baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

Population: The analysis was performed on FAS population.

The IGA mod 2011 scale has been developed based on a previous version of the scale used in secukinumab phase II studies in collaboration with health authorities, in particular the FDA. The explanations/descriptions of the points on the scale have been improved to ensure appropriate differentiation between the points. The IGA mod 2011 used in this study is static, i.e. it refers exclusively to the subject's disease state at the time of the assessments, and does not attempt a comparison with any of the subject's previous disease states, whether at baseline or at a previous visit.IGA mod 2011 has a scale of 0-4 with the lower scores correlating to better performance. A score of 0= clear skin, 1= almost clear skin, 2=mild, 3=moderate,4=severe. IGA 0/1 responders: who achieved score of 0/1 and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale compared to baseline.

Population: The analysis was performed on FAS population. Here 'number analyzed' signifies the participants evaluable for DLQI at week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24.

DLQI is a 10-item general dermatology disability index designed to assess health-related quality of life in adult subjects with skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and viral. The measure was self-administered and included domains of daily activities, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment, and work/school. Each item had four response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" was also a valid response and was scored as 0. The DLQI total score was a sum of the 10 questions. Scores ranged from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment in health related quality of life.
