What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With Adverse Reactions, Defined as Drug-related Adverse Events (AE)

    Percentage of patients with adverse reactions, defined as drug-related Adverse Events is presented.

    Measured: Up to 140 days from the administration of spesolimab.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (GPPASI) Total Score at Week 2

    The GPPASI is an adaptation for Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) patients of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), an established measure of severity and area of psoriatic lesions in patients with psoriasis. It is a tool which provides a numeric scoring for patients overall GPP disease state, ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (worse disease state). It is a linear combination of percent of surface area of skin that is affected and the severity of erythema, pustules, and scaling (desquamation) over four body regions. % GPPASI change from baseline=100* (GPPASI at baseline - GPPASI at post-baseline visit)/(GPPASI at baseline). For %GPPASI change, positive numbers show reduction in GPPASI with higher values representing a larger improvement or recovery of disease, while negative numbers show an increase in GPPASI, i.e. worsening of disease.

    Measured: At baseline and at Week 2.

  2. Proportion of Patients With Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Physician Global Assessment (GPPGA) Total Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 2

    GPPGA relies on clinical assessment of the GPP patient's skin presentation. It is a modified Physician Global Assessment (PGA), a physician's assessment of psoriatic lesions, which has been adapted to the evaluation of GPP patients.

    The investigator (or qualified site personnel) scores the erythema, pustules and scaling of all psoriatic lesions from 0 - 4. Each component is graded separately, the average is calculated and the final GPPGA is determined from this composite score. A lower score then indicates a lesser severity, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear. To receive a score of 0 or 1, the patient should be afebrile, in addition to skin presentation requirements.

    Measured: At Week 2.

  3. Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale Score at Week 2

    Change from baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue scale scale score at Week 2 is presented.

    The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a brief and reliable instrument for monitoring fatigue and its effects on patients. It is a comprehensive compilation of questions that measure health-related quality of life in patients with chronic illnesses. It comprises 13 questions, the responses to which are each recorded on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores range from 0 to 52, with lower scores representing greater fatigue, i.e. higher changes from baseline indicate higher improvement (compared to baseline)

    Measured: At baseline and at Week 2.

  4. Change From Baseline in Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score at Week 2

    The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity. It is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal or vertical line, usually 10 centimeters (100 millimeters (mm) in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end ('no pain', 'very severe pain'). The pain VAS is self-completed by the respondent. The respondent is asked to place a line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represents their pain intensity. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the 'no pain' anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity, i.e., a negative change from baseline indicates an improvement (compared to baseline).

    Measured: At baseline and at Week 2.

  5. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Spesolimab in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Area under the concentration-time curve of spesolimab in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) is reported.

    Measured: Within 1.5 hours (h) before and 0.5 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, 144 h, 312 h, 480 h, 648 h, 1992 h, 3336 h after spesolimab administration.

  6. Maximum Measured Concentration of Spesolimab in Plasma (Cmax)

    Maximum measured concentration of spesolimab in plasma (Cmax) is reported.

    Measured: Within 1.5 hours (h) before and 0.5 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, 144 h, 312 h, 480 h, 648 h, 1992 h, 3336 h after spesolimab administration.

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Spesolimab in people with Psoriasis, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 6 sites in 6 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 9 inclusion and 16 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 21 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan and 1 more country. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 21 Aug 2023). 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 Patients With Adverse Reactions, Defined as Drug-related Adverse Events (AE) (time frame: Up to 140 days from the administration of spesolimab.). 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 NCT02978690, 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 21 Aug 2023.
