Trial Outcomes & Findings for Guselkumab in the Treatment of Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris (PRP) (NCT NCT03975153)

NCT ID: NCT03975153

Last Updated: 2024-05-24

Results Overview

PASI measures the appearance of the skin based on erythema, scale, and elevation, multiplied by body surface area. 0 indicates completely clear skin. 72 is the maximum value, indicating the worst severity. A score of 11 or higher is considered severe disease.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

PASI measures the appearance of the skin based on erythema, scale, and elevation, multiplied by body surface area. 0 indicates completely clear skin. 72 is the maximum value, indicating the worst severity. A score of 11 or higher is considered severe disease.

Mean Change From Baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) at Week-24 After Treatment With Guselkumab.
61.8 percent change from baseline PASI
Interval 21.3 to 100.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Quality of life will be measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). There are 10 questions covering symptoms, embarrassment, shopping and home care, clothes, social and leisure, sport, work or study, close relationships, sex, and treatment. Each question refers to the impact of PRP on the patient's life over the previous week. The highest score is 30 and would indicate a maximum (negative) impact on quality of life. A score of zero would indicate no impact on quality of life. For inflammatory skin conditions, a 4-point improvement in DLQI score is considered clinically important.

11 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 36 weeks

Population: Only participants who achieved \>50% in PASI at week-24 are included in this analysis.

PASI measures the appearance of the skin based on erythema, scale, and elevation, multiplied by body surface area. 0 indicates completely clear skin. 72 is the maximum value, indicating the worst severity. A score of 11 or higher is considered severe disease. Trial participants who had a decrease in PASI by \>50% from week-0 to week-24 were included in this analysis. Participants did not receive any additional doses of guselkumab after week-20, and PASI score at week-36 was calculated to assess for sustained remission.
