Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Risankizumab Using a New Formulation in Participants With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis (NCT NCT03875482)

NCT ID: NCT03875482

Last Updated: 2021-03-16

Results Overview

The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at Week 16) / PASI score at Baseline \* 100.

The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema, induration, and scaling of psoriatic lesions are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA ranges from 0 to 4, and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean \>0, \<1.5; Mild (2) = mean ≥1.5, \<2.5; Moderate (3) = mean ≥2.5, \<3.5; and Severe (4) = mean ≥3.5.

The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked.The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. Negative values indicate an improvement from baseline.
