What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving a 75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) Score at Week 12
Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score; range=0(no disease)-72(maximal disease). Body divided into 4 sections=head, upper/lower limbs, trunk; each area scored by itself and scores combined for final PASI. For each section percent area of skin involved was estimated:0(0%) - 6(90-100%) and severity estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration, scaling; ranged 0-4: 0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. Final PASI=sum of severity parameters for each section*area score*weighing factor(head=0.1, upper limbs=0.2, trunk=0.3, lower limbs=0.4).
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (6)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score of "Clear" or "Almost Clear"
Physician global assessment of psoriasis is global consideration of the erythema, induration and scaling across all psoriatic lesions, rated separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale ranged from 0 to 4: 0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The severity scores are summed and averaged after which the total average is rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine the treatment area overall severity of psoriasis score and category. The score of 0=clear, 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe.
Measured: Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 14, 16

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing CP-690,550 in people with Psoriasis, run by Pfizer at 44 sites in 2 countries.
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 4 inclusion and 4 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 19 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 44 sites in United States, Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 19 Dec 2012). 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?
Percentage of Participants Achieving a 75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) Score at Week 12 (time frame: Week 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 NCT00678210, which also lists 6 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 19 Dec 2012.
