About this study

Official title: Classification and Characterization of Patients Suffering From Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis Responding to Subcutaneous Administered Efalizumab

The main objectives of the project are:

  • To classify patients suffering from plaque psoriasis responding on a given treatment (efalizumab) based upon reduction in Psoriasis Area and severity Index (PASI), Psoriasis Disability Index 8PDI) and dermatology Life Quality Index 8 DLQI)
  • To characterize patients suffering from plaque psoriasis responding to or not responding to subcutaneous administrated efalizumab.
Read the detailed description

This is an investigator initiated,prospective, longitudinal, observation study. Before starting treatment with efalizumab we will record factors such as demographic data, type of psoriasis, previous treatment, other diseases etc.

We will follow the patients and classify them as responders and non-responders. We hope to find 4-5 factors which we can use later to predict response of this drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Plaque Psoriasis, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Norway.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: efalizumab was withdrawn from market; full 2 years follow-up only 14 patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Response PASI 75 (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Jan 2012.
