What is being measured

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

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

    Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). For dose groups 25 mg - 200 mg BI, TEAEs are reported separately for period 1 and period 2.

    Period 1: All patients who started in period 1 are reported by starting dose (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg).

    Period 2: Only patients who participated in period 2 are reported by dose sequence group.

    For dose group 400 mg BI, TEAEs are reported overall (period 1 + period 2). Number of participants with TEAEs is reported.

    Measured: For part 1 patients in period 1: Up to 117 days. For part 1 patients in period 2: From week 13 onwards, up to 692 days. For part 2 patients (period 1 + 2): Up to 802 days.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)50/PASI75/PASI90/PASI100 Response at Week 24

    Number of participants with PASI50/75/90/100 response, where PASI50/75/90/100 is 50%/75%/90%/100% reduction in PASI score.

    The PASI score is an established measure of clinical efficacy for psoriasis medications, which provides a numeric scoring for patients overall psoriasis disease state, ranging from 0 to 72, with a lower score indicating a better outcome. It is a linear combination of percent of surface area of skin that is affected and the severity of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation over four body regions. The endpoint is based on the percent reduction from baseline, summarized as a dichotomous outcome based on achieving over an X% reduction (or PASI X), where X is 50, 75, 90 and 100.

    The percent reduction from baseline is calculated by % PASI reduction from baseline = ((PASI at baseline - PASI at Visit X) / PASI at baseline) *100, at all visits with PASI collected.

    Measured: At baseline and at week 24.

  2. Number of Participants With Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Clear or Almost Clear Response at Week 24

    Number of participants with sPGA clear or almost clear response at week 24. The sPGA is a 5 point score based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. The score ranges from 0 - 4, with a lower score indicating a better outcome.

    0= clear (no signs of psoriasis),

    1. almost clear;
    2. mild;
    3. moderate; 4 = severe (e.g. deep dark red coloration).

    Measured: At week 24.

  3. Number of Participants With Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Clear Response at Week 24

    Number of participants with sPGA clear response at week 24. The sPGA is a 5 point score based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. The score ranges from 0 - 4, with a lower score indicating a better outcome.

    0= clear (No signs of psoriasis),

    1. almost clear;
    2. mild;
    3. moderate; 4 = severe (e.g. deep dark red coloration).

    Measured: At week 24.

  4. Number of Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)50/PASI75/PASI90 or PASI100 Response at Any Time and Loss of PASI Response

    The time-to-loss analysis of PASI response was not performed because the analysis would not provide any statistically valid estimates of the parameter due to the premature ending of the trial. Instead, the number of participants with PASI50/75/90/100 response at any time and loss of response at the last efficacy assessment is reported.

    PASI50/75/90/100 is 50%/75%/90%/100% reduction in PASI score. PASI score is a measure of clinical efficacy for psoriasis medications, which ranges from 0 to 72, with a lower score indicating a better outcome.

    A patient was a PASI responder if he or she achieved a response at any time from enrollment to 7 days (Residual effect period (REP)) after last dosing date.

    A patient with the event of loss of response was a responder that lost their PASI response at the last efficacy assessment regardless if it was done within 7 days (REP) after the last dosing date or not.

    Measured: Up to 802 days.

  5. Number of Participants With Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Clear or Almost Clear Response at Any Time and Loss of sPGA Clear or Almost Clear Response

    The time-to-loss analysis of PASI response was not performed because the analysis would not provide any statistically valid estimates of the parameter due to the premature ending of the trial. Instead, the number of participants with sPGA clear or almost clear response at any time, and loss of response at the last efficacy assessment is reported.

    The sPGA is based on the physician's assessment of average thickness, erythema and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. It ranges from 0 to 4, with 0=clear (best outcome), 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe (worst outcome).

    A patient was an sPGA responder if he or she achieved a response at any time from enrolment to 7 days (residual effect period (REP)) after last dosing date. A patient with the event of loss of response was a responder that lost their sPGA response at the last efficacy assessment regardless if it was done within 7 days (REP) after the last dosing date or not.

    Measured: Up to 802 days.

  6. Number of Participants With Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Clear Response at Any Time and Loss of sPGA Clear Response

    The time-to-loss analysis of PASI response was not performed because the analysis would not provide any statistically valid estimates of the parameter due to the premature ending of the trial. Instead, the number of participants with sPGA clear response at any time, and loss of response at the last efficacy assessment is reported.

    The sPGA is based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. It ranges from 0 to 4, with 0=clear (best outcome), 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe (worst outcome).

    A patient was a sPGA responder if he or she achieved a response at any time from enrolment to 7 days (residual effect period (REP)) after last dosing date.

    A patient with the event of loss of response was a responder that lost their sPGA response at the last efficacy assessment regardless if it was done within 7 days (REP) after the last dosing date or not.

    Measured: Up to 802 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BI 730357 in people with Psoriasis, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 30 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 18 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in United States, Canada, Germany. 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 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 18 Nov 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: For part 1 patients in period 1: Up to 117 days. For part 1 patients in period 2: From week 13 onwards, up to 692 days. For part 2 patients (period 1 + 2): Up to 802 days.). 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 NCT03835481, which also lists 2 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.
