About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blinded Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Switches Between Ustekinumab and ABP 654 Compared With Continued Use of Ustekinumab in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis

The purpose of the study is to evaluate pharmacokinetic similarity, efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of multiple switches between ustekinumab and ABP 654 compared with continued use of ustekinumab in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center study and will enroll approximately 480 participants.

After eligibility confirmation, all participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into 2 treatment arms: continued use of ustekinumab or multiple switches between ustekinumab and ABP 654 at Week 28. The randomization will be stratified by prior biologic use for psoriasis (yes versus [vs] no) at baseline (Week 0), geographic region, and baseline (Week 0) body weight.

All participants will receive an initial 3 doses of ustekinumab on Day 1 (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 16. At Week 28, participants will be randomized to continue on ustekinumab or switching between ABP 654 and ustekinumab every 12 weeks.

At Week 28, efficacy assessments will be conducted including evaluation of Psoriasis and Area Severity Index (PASI). Participants who do not achieve PASI 50 response or better improvement at Week 28 will be considered as run-in failures and will not be randomized at Week 28; these participants will complete End of Study procedures at Week 28. The run-in period will occur from Day 1 until randomization at Week 28. Those unable to complete the Week 28 visit or did not have a PASI assessment completed at Week 28 will be discontinued from the study.

The total duration of study participation for each participant will be 68 weeks, with up to 4 weeks for screening and 64 weeks after the first investigational product administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval (AUCtau) Between Week 52 and Week 64

    AUCtau from time 0 (week 52) over the dosing interval up to week 64 is presented. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters are based on ABP 654 in the switching group and on ustekinumab in the continued-use group.

    Measured: Blood samples were taken pre-dose week 52; and at 2 days, 7 days, 10 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the week 52 dose

  2. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) Between Week 52 and Week 64

    Cmax between week 52 and week 64 is presented. PK parameters are based on ABP 654 in the switching group and on ustekinumab in the continued-use group.

    Measured: Blood samples were taken pre-dose week 52; and at 2 days, 7 days, 10 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the week 52 dose

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Time of Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) Between Week 52 and Week 64

    Tmax between week 52 and week 64 is presented. PK parameters are based on ABP 654 in the switching group and on ustekinumab in the continued-use group.

    Measured: Blood samples were taken pre-dose week 52; and at 2 days, 7 days, 10 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the week 52 dose

  2. Serum Trough Concentration at Steady-state (Ctrough,ss) at Week 28, Week 40, and Week 52

    Ctrough,ss at weeks 28, 40, and 52 are presented. PK parameters are based on ABP 654 in the switching group and on ustekinumab in the continued-use group.

    Measured: Blood samples were taken pre-dose week 28, week 40, and week 52

  3. PASI Percent Improvement From Baseline at Week 64

    The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling), each graded on a 0 to 4 scale of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement. PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). PASI percent improvement is defined as 100 x (value at baseline - value at post-baseline visit) / value at baseline. A positive value indicates PASI improvement. Baseline data were derived based on observed data and at week 64 were derived based on multiple imputation (MI) data. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment taken prior to the first dose of investigational product for the study.

    Measured: Baseline (day 1) and week 64

  4. PASI 75 Response at Week 64

    The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling), each graded on a 0 to 4 scale of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement. PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). PASI response was defined as a participant meeting or surpassing a pre-specified threshold for percent improvement in PASI score compared to the baseline PASI score. An improvement of at least 75% qualified a participant as being a PASI 75 responder. Missing PASI 75 responses at week 64 were imputed by non-responder imputation (NRI). Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment taken prior to the first dose of investigational product for the study.

    Measured: Baseline (day 1) and week 64

  5. PASI 100 Response at Week 64

    The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling), each graded on a 0 to 4 scale of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement. PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). PASI response was defined as a participant meeting or surpassing a pre-specified threshold for percent improvement in PASI score compared to the baseline PASI score. An improvement of 100% qualified a participant as being a PASI 100 responder. Missing PASI 100 responses at week 64 were imputed by NRI. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment taken prior to the first dose of investigational product for the study.

    Measured: Baseline (day 1) and week 64

  6. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs): Post-randomization Period

    TEAEs during the post-randomization period were defined as AEs that started on or after the first dose of investigational product post-randomization and prior to the end of study. The number of participants who experienced any TEAE, and who experienced a serious TEAE are presented. A serious TEAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria: resulted in death (fatal), was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or other medically important serious event.

    Measured: Week 28 to week 64

  7. Number of Participants With Events of Interest (EOI): Post-randomization Period

    The treatment-emergent EOIs prespecified for this study included serious systemic hypersensitivity reactions, facial palsy, pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, serious infections (including mycobacterial and salmonella infections), malignancy, cardiovascular events, reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS), serious depression including suicidality, and venous thromboembolism.

    Measured: Week 28 to week 64

  8. Number of Participants With Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs): Post-randomization Period

    The number of participants developing binding or neutralizing ADAs during the post-randomization period is defined as the number of participants in the safety analysis set who had a positive result post-randomization and had never tested positive (i.e., negative or no results) prior to the first dose of post-randomization investigational product and who have at least one ADA result post randomization. A transient antibody results was defined as a positive result during the post-randomization period with a negative result at the participant's last visit tested within the respective study period. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment taken prior to the first dose of investigational product for the study.

    Measured: Baseline (pre-dose day 1), week 4, week 16, week 28, week 40, week 52 and week 64

A Phase 3 study testing Ustekinumab and ABP 654 in people with Psoriasis, run by Amgen at 88 sites in 8 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 13 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 11 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 88 sites in United States, Poland, Canada, Germany, Georgia and 3 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. 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 11 Jan 2024). 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?

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval (AUCtau) Between Week 52 and Week 64 (time frame: Blood samples were taken pre-dose week 52; and at 2 days, 7 days, 10 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the week 52 dose). 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?
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 11 Jan 2024.
