What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) Achieving GPP Clinical Response at Week 16

    GPP Clinical Response defined as at least "Slightly Improved" in the overall improvement rating from baseline according to Japanese Dermatological Association (JDA) total score for GPP. The JDA consists of an assessment of skin symptoms (area of skin with erythema, pustules, and edema) on a scale of 0 (none) to 9 (severe) and a systemic symptoms/assessment of test findings (fever, white blood count [WBC], serum C-reactive protein [CRP], and serum albumin) on a scale of 0 (none) to 8 (severe). The JDA total score is the sum of the 2 assessments ranging from 0 (mild) to 17 (severe). The overall improvement rating ranges from Markedly improved (decreased by ≥ 3 points) to Worsened (increased by ≥ 1 point); Slightly improved represents no change in points and ≥ 20% and < 30% reduction of erythema area with pustules compared to baseline, or clinically meaningful improvement in ≥1 other parameters of the severity assessment criteria. Nonresponder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.

    Measured: Week 16

  2. Percentage of Participants With Erythrodermic Psoriasis (EP) Achieving EP Clinical Response at Week 16

    EP Clinical Response, defined as at least "Minimally Improved" in Clinical Global Impression-Global Improvement (CGI-GI) for EP. The CGI-GI is a global assessment by the Investigator of the change in clinical status since the start of treatment. The CGI-GI ratings are as follows: 0 (not assessed), 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), 7 (very much worse). NRI was used for missing data.

    Measured: Week 16

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants With GPP Achieving GPP Clinical Response at Week 52

    GPP Clinical Response defined as at least "Slightly Improved" in the overall improvement rating from baseline according to JDA total score for GPP. The JDA consists of an assessment of skin symptoms (area of skin with erythema, pustules, and edema) on a scale of 0 (none) to 9 (severe) and a systemic symptoms/assessment of test findings (fever, WBC, serum CRP, and serum albumin) on a scale of 0 (none) to 8 (severe). The JDA total score is the sum of the 2 assessments ranging from 0 (mild) to 17 (severe). The overall improvement rating ranges from Markedly improved (decreased by ≥ 3 points) to Worsened (increased by ≥ 1 point); Slightly improved represents no change in points and ≥ 20% and < 30% reduction of erythema area with pustules compared to baseline, or clinically meaningful improvement in ≥1 other parameters of the severity assessment criteria.

    Measured: Week 52

  2. Percentage of Participants With EP Achieving EP Clinical Response at Week 52

    EP Clinical Response, defined as at least "Minimally Improved" in CGI-GI for EP. The CGI-GI is a global assessment by the Investigator of the change in clinical status since the start of treatment. The CGI-GI ratings are as follows: 0 (not assessed), 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), 7 (very much worse).

    Measured: Week 52

  3. Percentage of Participants With GPP Achieving 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI90) at Week 16

    PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100.

    Measured: Week 16

  4. Percentage of Participants With EP Achieving PASI90 at Week 16

    PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100. NRI was used for missing data.

    Measured: Week 16

  5. Percentage of Participants With GPP Achieving PASI90 at Week 52

    PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100.

    Measured: Week 52

  6. Percentage of Participants With EP Achieving PASI90 at Week 52

    PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing risankizumab in people with Psoriasis, run by AbbVie at 9 sites in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 18 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Japan. 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 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 6 Feb 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?

Percentage of Participants With Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) Achieving GPP Clinical Response at Week 16 (time frame: Week 16). 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 NCT03022045, 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 18 Nov 2021.
