About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Prospective Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of Adalimumab (Humira®) in Patients With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis in the Russian Federation

This is an open-label study designed to establish the safety and effectiveness of adalimumab in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis after 24 weeks of treatment.

Read the detailed description

During the treatment period, participants will receive an initial adalimumab 80 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (sc) dose, followed by adalimumab 40 mg sc every other week starting one week after initial dose. Safety and effectiveness assessments will be completed at Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16 and Week 24. Participants may discontinue adalimumab treatment at any time during study participation. Participants that end study participation early will have a Premature Discontinuation visit. All participants who do not initiate commercial Humira® will have a follow-up phone call 70 days after the last administration of study drug to obtain information on any new or ongoing Adverse Events (AEs). The 70-day follow-up phone call will not be required for any participant that initiates adalimumab therapy not supplied in the context of the clinical trial after the end of study participation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI 75) Response at Week 24

    The percentage of participants with a ≥ 75% reduction (improvement) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score from Baseline. PASI is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by the erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) on a scale from no symptoms (0), slight (1), moderate (2), marked (3) or very marked (4), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 to 6. PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Physician's Global Assessment of Clear

    The Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) is a 6-point scale used to measure the severity of disease at the time of the qualified investigator's evaluation of the participant. The degree of overall lesion severity was evaluated using the following categories:

    • 3: Course scale dominates, moderate red coloration, moderate plaque elevation, overall score of moderate;
    • 4: Thick non-tenacious scale dominates, bright red coloration, marked plaque elevation, overall score of marked;
    • 5: Very thick tenacious scale predominates, dusky to deep red coloration, severe plaque elevation, overall score of severe.

    The percentage of participants achieving a PGA score of clear (0) is reported.

    Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Physician's Global Assessment of Clear or Minimal

    • 3: Course scale dominates, moderate red coloration, moderate plaque elevation, overall score of moderate;
    • 4: Thick non-tenacious scale dominates, bright red coloration, marked plaque elevation, overall score of marked;
    • 5: Very thick tenacious scale predominates, dusky to deep red coloration, severe plaque elevation, overall score of severe.

    The percentage of participants achieving a shift from Baseline to a less severe category is reported.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving a PASI 50 Response

    The percentage of participants with a ≥ 50% reduction (improvement) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score from Baseline. PASI is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by the erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) on a scale from no symptoms (0), slight (1), moderate (2), marked (3) or very marked (4), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 to 6. PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease.

PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease.

    Change from Baseline is presented as a percentage of the Baseline value: Post-baseline value - Baseline value / Baseline value * 100. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24

  9. Percent Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    The DLQI questionnaire asks participants to evaluate the degree that psoriasis has affected their quality of life in the last week, and includes the following parameters: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure activities, work or school activities, personal relationships and treatment related feelings. Participants answer 10 questions on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); the range of the total score is 0 to 30. A score of 21 to 30 means an extremely large effect on the participant's life whereas 0-1 means that the disease has no effect at all. Change from Baseline is presented as a percentage of the Baseline value: Post-baseline value - Baseline value / Baseline value * 100. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 8, 12, and 24

  10. Percent Change From Baseline in Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI)

    NAPSI grades nails for both nail matrix psoriasis and nail bed psoriasis. The most affected fingernail was determined at Baseline and used for the analysis.

    Nail matrix psoriasis consists of any of the following: pitting, leukonychia, red spots in the lunula, or nail plate crumbling. Nail bed psoriasis is the presence or absence of onycholysis, splinter hemorrhages, oil drop (salman patch) discoloration or nail bed hyperkeratosis. Scoring for each is based on the following scale:

    • 0 = none;
    • 1 = present in 1/4 nail quadrants;
    • 2 = present in 2/4 nail quadrants;
    • 3 = present in 3/4 nail quadrants;
    • 4 = present in 4/4 nail quadrants.

    The sum of these two scores is the total score for the nail, and ranges from 0 (no nail psoriasis) to 8 (psoriasis in 4/4 nail quadrants). Change from Baseline is presented as a percentage of the Baseline value, calculated as: Week 24 value - Baseline value / Baseline value * 100. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Adalimumab in people with Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 7 sites in Russia.

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 8 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 1 Oct 2014. 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 Russia. 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 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 17 Sep 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 Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI 75) Response at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline and Week 24). 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 1 Oct 2014.
