Official title: Optimizing Psoriasis Treatment of Etanercept Combined Methotrexate: a Phase IV, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether etanercept combined with methotrexate are superiority than etanercept as monotherapy in the treatment of chinese severe plaque psoriasis. A phase IV, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was conducted.The primary outcome was Change from baseline in plaque psoriasis as assessed by PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) response or PASI75 (a patient that has an improvement from baseline PASI of at least 75%)

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. psoriasis area and severity index 50(pasi 50)

    Change from baseline in plaque psoriasis as assessed by PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) response or PASI50 (a patient that has an improvement from baseline PASI of at least 50%)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. psoriasis area and severity index 90(pasi 90)

    Change from baseline in plaque psoriasis as assessed by PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) response or PASI90 (a patient that has an improvement from baseline PASI of at least 90%)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) change

    Change from baseline in plaque psoriasis as assessed by DLQI (dermatology life quality index ) response

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. adverse events(AEs)

    Laboratory parameters, rates of AEs, and percentage of patients requiring interruption or discontinuation of study drug due to AEs

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study of Psoriasis, run by Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

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 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 17 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

psoriasis area and severity index 75(PASI75) (time frame: 24 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 17 Aug 2018.
