What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Week 4

    PASI score is the combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score range: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. Body divided into 4 sections (head and neck [h], arms [u], trunk [t], legs [l]); each area scored by itself and scores combined for final PASI score. For each section, percent body surface area (A) of skin involved was estimated: 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90-100 percent involvement), severity estimated by clinical signs: erythema (E), induration (I), scaling (S); 5 point scale: 0 (no involvement) to 4 (very marked involvement). Final PASI score = 0.1Ah (Eh + Ih + Sh) + 0.2Au (Eu + Iu + Su) + 0.3At (Et + It + St) + 0.4Al (El + Il + Sl), where head: 0.1; upper limbs: 0.2; trunk: 0.3; lower limbs: 0.4).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 (early termination)

  6. Percentage of Participants Achieving Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Response of 'Clear' or 'Almost Clear' at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8

    The PGA of psoriasis was scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema (E), induration (I), and scaling (S) across all psoriatic lesions. The severity rating scores (erythema: 0= no evidence of erythema to 4= dark, deep red; Induration: 0= no evidence of plaque elevation to 4= marked plaque elevation, hard/sharp borders; Scaling: 0= no evidence of scaling to 4= thick, coarse scale predominates) were summed (E + I + S= total) and the average (total/3) was taken. The total average was rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine the PGA. The 5-point scale for PGA was: 0= clear; 1= almost clear; 2= mild; 3= moderate; 4= severe, where higher score indicating more severity. Participants with response of clear and almost clear were reported. 90 percent confidence intervals were calculated using clopper-pearson (exact) method.

  7. Change From Baseline in Fasting Lipids at Week 2, 4 and 8

    Participants were required to fast 9 hours prior to sampling for lipid profile which included following parameters: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), cholesterol, triglycerides.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8 (early termination)

  8. Change From Baseline in Lipid Ratios at Week 2, 4 and 8

    The ratio of LDL-C/HDL-C was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8 (early termination)

  9. Change From Baseline in High Sensitivity C- Reactive Protein (hsCRP) at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8

    The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. Reference range for measurements is 0-0.5 mg/dL and lower limit of detection is less than (<) 0.015 mg/dL. Any value <0.015 mg/dL is imputed as 0.0075 mg/dL.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 (early termination)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PF-04965842 in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Pfizer at 45 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 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 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 5 Oct 2016). 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?

Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline, Week 4). 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 NCT02201524, which also lists 3 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 5 Oct 2016.
