What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Reduction (Improvement) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score of ≥ 75% From Baseline to Week 16

    The PASI score ranges from 0-72 (with a higher score indicating greater severity of psoriasis), based on a combination of the severity (erythema, induration, and desquamation) of psoriasis and percentage of affected area.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 2-point Reduction (Improvement) in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score at Week 16

    The investigator evaluated the participant's overall severity of psoriasis using the PGA 5-point scale (0 to 4) where 0=Clear and 4=Severe.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) Score in PGA at Week 16

    The investigator evaluated the participant's overall severity of psoriasis using the PGA 5-point scale (0 to 4) where 0=Clear to 4=Severe.

    Measured: Week 16

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Reduction (Improvement) in PASI Score of ≥ 50% From Baseline to Week 16

    The PASI score ranges from 0-72 (with a higher score indicating greater severity of psoriasis), based on a combination of the severity (erythema, induration, and desquamation) of psoriasis and percentage of affected area.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving Reduction (Improvement) in PASI Score of ≥ 90% From Baseline to Week 16

    The PASI score ranges from 0-72 (with a higher score indicating greater severity of psoriasis), based on a combination of the severity (erythema, induration, and desquamation) of psoriasis and percentage of affected area.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: First dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug (up to Week 12) plus approximately 30 days past last dose

  6. Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: First dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug (up to Week 12) plus approximately 30 days past last dose

  7. Number of Participants With TEAEs Considered Related to the Study Treatment as Per Investigator

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of study drug. The TEAEs related to the study drug, as assessed by Investigator are reported.

    Measured: First dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug (up to Week 12) plus approximately 30 days past last dose

  8. Plasma Concentration of AGN-242428

    Measured: Single sample predose at Week 4 and 8 Visits, single sample 1-2 hours postdose at Weeks 6 and 10 Visits

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AGN-242428 in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 15 sites in United States.

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 10 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 6 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States. 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 6 Apr 2021). 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 Achieving a Reduction (Improvement) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score of ≥ 75% From Baseline to Week 16 (time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16). 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 6 Apr 2021.
