Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate Psoriasis Severity and Its Psychosocial Impact Using the Simplified Psoriasis Index (SPI), as Well as Long-term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Secukinumab Administered Subcutaneously in Patients With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis (NCT NCT02595970)

NCT ID: NCT02595970

Last Updated: 2019-04-17

Results Overview

The primary efficacy outcome of this study evaluates the benefit of secukinumab on the severity of psoriasis based on the SPI. This index comprises 3 components: severity (SPIs), psychosocial (SPIp) and intervention (SPIi) and were evaluated by both health care professional (professional, proSPI) and the patient (self-administered: saSPI). Only the severity components were evaluated for the primary objective: proSPI (s) and saSPI (s). Changes at Week 16 compared to Baseline in patients suffering from moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were analyzed for the purpose of this study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 (baseline) to 16 weeks

Population: The primary analysis was performed on the FAS. To assess for robustness of the results, the primary analysis was repeated for the FAS (on observed data).

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): The FAS comprised all patients from the IS who were administered at least one dose of investigational drug with at least one Baseline and one post-baseline SPI evaluation.

The primary efficacy objective of the study was to evaluate the benefit of secukinumab on the severity of psoriasis based on the SPI. This index comprises 3 components: severity (SPIs), psychosocial (SPIp) and intervention (SPIi) and were evaluated by both health care professional (professional, proSPI) and the patient (self-administered: saSPI). Only the severity components were evaluated for the primary objective: proSPI (s) and saSPI (s). Changes at Week 16 compared to Baseline in patients suffering from moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were analyzed. proSPI (s) score range is 0 to 50. Higher score means worse condition
