About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Etanercept 50 mg Twice Weekly in Psoriasis

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly compared to placebo over 12 weeks on the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) in subjects with psoriasis. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly; determine the effect of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly on patient reported outcomes (PRO); and characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Achievement of 75% or greater improvement from baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) after 12 weeks of double-blind treatment.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Dermatology Live Quality Index (DLQI) response at week 12

  2. Subject's assessment of itching and improvements from baseline in joint pain (visual analog scale [VAS]) at week 12

  3. Psoriasis pain (VAS) at week 12

  4. Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) fatigue scale at week 12

  5. PASI 50, 75 and 90 response and improvement from baseline in PASI score during long-term therapy

  6. Static physician's global assessment of psoriasis (sPGA) from baseline during long-term therapy

  7. Adverse events, infections injection site reactions during long-term therapy

  8. Serious adverse events and infections during long-term therapy

  9. Clinical laboratory values, vital signs and antibodies to etanercept during long-term therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Etanercept in people with Psoriasis, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Achievement of 75% or greater improvement from baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) after 12 weeks of double-blind treatment.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00111449, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2013.
