What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (sPGA 0/1)

    The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; Severe = 4). sPGA 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 or 1 with at least 2-point improvement from baseline using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.

    Measured: Week 16

  2. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (PASI 75)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 90% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Week 16 (PASI 90)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 90 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 90% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

  2. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 100% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (PASI 100)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 100 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 100% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

  3. The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment Score of 0 at Week 16 (sPGA 0)

    The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe). sPGA 0 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.

    Measured: Week 16

  4. Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) Symptom Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 16

    PSSD is an 11-item participant-reported instrument that assesses severity of symptoms and participant-observed signs commonly associated in plaque psoriasis. PSSD assesses severity of 5 symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning, skin tightness) and 6 participants-observed signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness, bleeding) using 0-10 numerical ratings. The severity of each item is rated on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). A symptom score will be derived by averaging the 5 questions and multiplying by 10. A sign score will be derived by averaging the 6 questions and multiplying by 10. A total PSSD score with range 0-100 will be derived from taking the average of the symptom and sign scores, where 0 representing the least severe symptom/sign and 100 the most severe. A mBOCF approach will be used for missing data.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

  5. Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) Symptom Score 0 at Week 16

    PSSD with a 24-hour recall period is an 11-item participant-reported instrument that assesses severity of symptoms and participant-observed signs commonly associated in plaque psoriasis. PSSD assesses severity of 5 symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning, skin tightness) and 6 participants-observed signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness, bleeding) using 0-10 numerical ratings. The severity of each item is rated on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). PSSD 0 is the response as a number of participants who experience a PSSD symptom score that is derived from the average of the scores and determines psoriasis severity as 0 among participants with a baseline PSSD symptom score >= 1.

    Measured: Week 16

  6. The Number of Participants With a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (DLQI 0/1)

    DLQI is a participant-reported quality of life index which consists of 10 questions concerning symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work, school, personal relationships, and treatment during the last week before questionnaire. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 by a tick box (0 = "not at all"; 1 = "a little"; 2 = "a lot"; or 3 = "very much"). The scores are summed, giving a range from 0 (no impairment of life quality) to 30 (maximum impairment). DLQI 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience DLQI score of 0 or 1 among participants with a baseline DLQI score >=2.

    Measured: Week 16

  7. Number of Participants With a Physician's Global Assessment-Fingernails (PGA-F) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16

    PGA-F overall condition of the fingernails is rated on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = minimal; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; and 4 = severe). PGA-F 0/1 is the response as a number of participants with a PGA-F score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-point improvement from baseline among participants with a baseline PGA-F score >=3.

    Measured: Week 16

  8. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 16 (PASI 75)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.

The higher ss-PGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = absence of disease; 1 = very mild disease; 2 = mild disease; 3 = moderate disease; 4 = severe disease). ss-PGA 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience a ss-PGA score that determines scalp lesions severity as 0 or 1 with at least a 2-point improvement from baseline among participants with a baseline ss-PGA score >=3.

    Measured: Week 16

  11. The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 24 (sPGA 0/1)

    The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; Severe = 4). sPGA 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 or 1 with at least 2-point improvement from baseline using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 24 or who have missing week 24 endpoint data for any reason.

    Measured: Week 24

  12. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 24 (PASI 75)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 24 or who have missing week 24 endpoint data for any reason.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  13. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 90% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 24 (PASI 90)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 90 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 90% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 24 or who have missing week 24 endpoint data for any reason.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  14. The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 52 and at Week 24 (sPGA 0/1)

    The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; Severe = 4). sPGA 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 or 1 with at least 2-point improvement from baseline using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 52 or who have missing week 52 endpoint data for any reason.

    Measured: Week 52 and Week 24

  15. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 52 and at Week 24 (PASI 75)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 52, or who have missing week 52 endpoint data for any reason.

    Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 52 and Week 24

  16. The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 90% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 52 and at Week 24 (PASI 90)

    PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BMS-986165 and Apremilast in people with Psoriasis, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 165 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 30 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 165 sites in United States, Japan, Poland, Canada, 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 30 Jan 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?

The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (sPGA 0/1) (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 NCT03624127, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 30 Jan 2023.
