What is being measured

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

  1. Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Number of participants who achieved ≥ 75% reduction in PASI compared to baseline

    PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Participants With IGA Mod 2011 0 or 1 After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    The Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) mod 2011 scale is static, i.e. it referred exclusively to the participant's disease at the time of the assessment, and did not compare with any of the participant's previous disease states at previous visits. The scores are: 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. Treatment success was defined as achievement of IGA mod 2001 score of 0 or 1.

    Number of participants who achieved IGA mod 2011 0 or 1 and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale compared to baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Participants With PASI 90 After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Number of participants who achieved ≥ 90% and 100% reduction in PASI compared to baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With PASI 100 Response After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Participants who achieved 100% reduction in PASI compared to baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Number of Participants Achieving PASI 50/75/90/100 Response or IGA 0 or 1 Response

    PASI response over time up to week 52: Number of participants who achieved ≥ 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% reduction in PASI and achieve IGA mod 2011 0 or 1 and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale compared to baseline

    Measured: up to week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Secukinumab 2 mL form and Secukinumab 1 mL form in people with Psoriasis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 52 sites in 11 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 12 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 15 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 52 sites in United States, Spain, Latvia, Germany, Russia and 6 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. 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 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 26 Jun 2019). 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?

Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response After 12 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 2 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 NCT02748863, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Jul 2019.
