What is being measured

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

  1. Participants With a Status of Mild or Better on Physician Global Assessment at Month 12

    The number of participants with a status of mild or better (score of 0, 1 or 2) on the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of psoriasis at Month 12. This scale ranges from 0 to 5, with 0 = best outcome.

    Measured: Month 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percent Change From Baseline to Month 12 in Patient Global Assessment

    Percent change from Baseline to Month 12 in the Patient Global Assessment of psoriasis score. This score ranged from 0 (good) to 5 (severe). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12

  2. Percent Change From Baseline to Month 12 in Body Surface Area Affected by Psoriasis

    Percent change from Baseline to Month 12 in body surface area (BSA) affected by psoriasis. A reduction (indicated by a negative percent change from Baseline) in the BSA affected is indicative of improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12

  3. Percent Change From Baseline to Month 12 in the Dermatology Life Quality Index Total Score

    Percent change from Baseline to Month 12 in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score. This score ranges from 0 to 30, where 0 = no effect and 30 = large effect. A reduction in DLQI total score is indicative of improvement in quality of life as it relates to the participant's psoriasis, and a negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2014. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Participants With a Status of Mild or Better on Physician Global Assessment at Month 12 (time frame: Month 12). 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 NCT00332332, which also lists 2 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 25 Jul 2014.
