What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Maintaining a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI75) Response During the Double-Blind Treatment Withdrawal Period (Period B)

    The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both lesion severity and the percent of body surface area (BSA) affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk [including axillae and groin], and lower limbs [including buttocks), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The PASI score can vary in increments of 0.1 and range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. PASI75 response defined as at least a 75 percent (%) reduction in PASI relative to baseline.

    Measured: Weeks 4, 8 12, and 16 (Period B)

  2. Percentage of Participants Maintaining a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Response During the Double-Blind Treatment Withdrawal (Period B)

    The PGA of psoriasis is scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling are scored separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale (0=clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; and 4=severe). PGA response defined as 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).

    Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 (Period B)

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving a PASI75 Response During CP-690,550 Re-Treatment (Period C) Among Those Who Had a Greater Than (>)50% Reduction of Visit A4/Week 24 PASI Response During Double-Blind Treatment Withdrawal (Period B)

    The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both lesion severity and the percent of BSA affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk [including axillae and groin], and lower limbs [including buttocks), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. PASI75 response is defined as at least 75% reduction in PASI relative to Baseline/Day 1. Baseline defined as the last observation up to first dosing date in Period C. PASI responses at each period were relative to Baseline-A, where Baseline-A was defined as the last observation up to first dosing date in Period A.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, and 16 (Period C)

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving a PGA Response of Clear or Almost Clear During CP-690,550 Re-treatment (Period C) Among Participants Who Had a PGA of Mild, Moderate, or Severe During Double-Blind Treatment Withdrawal (Period B)

    The PGA of psoriasis is scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling are scored separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale (0=clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; and 4=severe).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, and 16 (Period C)

Secondary outcomes (121)
  1. Median Time to PASI75 Response During Initial CP-690,550 Treatment (Period A)

    The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both lesion severity and the percent of BSA affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk [including axillae and groin], and lower limbs [including buttocks), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. PASI75 response defined as 75% reduction in PASI relative to baseline.

    Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 16, and 24 (Period A)

  2. Median Time to PGA Response of Clear or Almost Clear During Initial CP-690,550 Treatment (Period A)

    The PGA of psoriasis is scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling are scored separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale (0=clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; and 4=severe). PGA response defined as 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).

    Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 16, and 24 (Period A)

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Both a PASI50-75 Response and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) ≤5 Response During Initial CP-690,550 Treatment (Period A)

    PASI50-75 response defined as a reduction of at least 50% but less than 75%. The DLQI is a general dermatology questionnaire that consists of 10 items that assess participant health related quality of life (daily activities, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, leisure, work and school, and treatment.

Score is transformed and results in a total score range -0.594 to 1.000; higher score indicates a better health state. The VAS component rates current health state on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state); higher scores indicate a better health state.

    Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 16, and 24 (Period A)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CP-690,550 in people with Psoriasis, run by Pfizer at 87 sites in 12 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 26 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 87 sites in United States, Canada, Australia, Bulgaria, Argentina and 7 more countries. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jun 2014). 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 Maintaining a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI75) Response During the Double-Blind Treatment Withdrawal Period (Period B) (time frame: Weeks 4, 8 12, and 16 (Period B)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01186744, 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 26 Dec 2018.
