About this study

Official title: A Phase IV Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 1.0 mg/kg Raptiva (Efalizumab) in Adult Subjects With Chronic Moderate or Worse Plaque Psoriasis Who Have Had an Inadequate Response to an Anti-TNF Agent

This is a Phase IV open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SC efalizumab in adult subjects (18 years of age and older) with chronic moderate or worse plaque psoriasis who have had an inadequate response to treatment with an anti-TNF agent. The study will consist of a screening period, a treatment period, and an observation period. All subjects will begin in the screening period (the length of which is dependent on the previous anti-TNF agent treatment). Approximately 100 eligible subjects will receive treatment from Day 0 through Day 168.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing efalizumab in people with Psoriasis, run by Genentech, Inc..

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 6 inclusion and 17 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 23 Jul 2015. 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 5 Jun 2009). 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?

Proportion of Subjects With a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Rating of Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), or Mild (2) (time frame: Day 84). 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 23 Jul 2015.
