What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Adverse Events

    The number of patients in each treatment group who reported at least 1 adverse event, including clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs, 12-lead ECG, physical examinations and laboratory tests, from the time of the first dose until the last study visit.

    Measured: 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Cmax of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14

    Cmax for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.

    .

    Measured: 12 hours

  2. Tmax of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14

    Tmax for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.

    Measured: 12 hours

  3. AUC 0-infinity of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14

    AUC 0-infinity for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.

    Measured: 12 hours

  4. T 1/2 of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14

    T 1/2 for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.

    Measured: 12 hours

  5. Efficacy of Apo805K1 as Assessed by Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Scores

    PASI is a quantitative measure of psoriasis that combines an assessment of the severity of lesions and a measurement of how much of the body surface area is affected into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Thus, a decrease in PASI score indicates improvement. This outcome measure compared the difference in change in PASI score from baseline to Week 12 between the active treatment groups and the placebo group.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 Weeks

  6. Efficacy of APO805K1 as Assessed by Achievement of PASI-75

    The proportion of patients in each treatment group who achieved at least a 75% improvement in PASI score from baseline at Week 12

    Measured: 12 weeks

  7. Efficacy of Apo805K1 as Assessed by Change From Baseline at Week 12 in Lattice System-Physician Global Assessment (LS-PGA) Scores

    The LS-PGA is a standardized method for determining categories of psoriasis severity. The percentage of body surface area involved is assessed on a scale ranging from 1 (0%) to 7 (51-100%); measures of plaque severity (thickness, erythema, and scaling) are assessed using a 4-point scale ranging from "none" to "marked"; and an algorithm is used to combine the above scores to determine a final score on a scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 7 (very severe). Thus, a decrease in LS-PGA score indicates improvement. This outcome measure compared the difference in change in LS-PGA score from baseline to Week 12 between the active treatment groups and the placebo group.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  8. Efficacy of Apo805K1 as Assessed by Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Score

    In the PGA, the physician assigns a single estimate of a patient's overall severity of the disease using a scale ranging from 0 (Clear) to 7 (Severe). (Unlike the LS-PGA, the individual elements of psoriasis plaque morphology or degree of body surface area involvement are not quantified.) Thus, a decrease in PGA score indicates improvement. This outcome measure compared the difference in change in PGA score from baseline to Week 12 between the active treatment groups and the placebo group.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apo805K1 in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by ApoPharma at 7 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?

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 20 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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. 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 20 Feb 2015). 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?

Number of Patients With Adverse Events (time frame: 12 Weeks). 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 20 Feb 2015.
