About this study
Official title: Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, and Treatment Satisfaction Among Psoriasis Patients Treated With Cosentyx (Secukinumab)
This was a retrospective cohort study utilizing data from Modernizing Medicine Data Services' (MMDS) electronic medical records (EMR)-based dermatology database to evaluate secukinumab patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes.
Read the detailed description
This was a retrospective cohort study utilizing data from Modernizing Medicine Data Services' (MMDS) electronic medical records (EMR)-based dermatology database to evaluate secukinumab patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes. Psoriasis (PsO) patients initiating secukinumab were identified and indexed to the first secukinumab use using the most recent data at study initiation (data period: March 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019) and with a subsequent data refresh (data period: March 1, 2017 - July 31, 2020).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Treatment satisfaction level at Baseline
Patient reported satisfaction with treatment effectiveness was captured on a 5-point scale - "I believe this treatment is effective in clearing my skin of psoriasis." (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree; n, %) in the EMR data system.
For this analysis, the responses were classified into three groups:
- Satisfied with treatment effectiveness (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree)
- Dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness ( 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree)
- Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness (3 = Neither agree nor disagree)
Measured: Baseline
Treatment satisfaction level at 6 months post-index
Patient reported satisfaction with treatment effectiveness was captured on a 5-point scale - "I believe this treatment is effective in clearing my skin of psoriasis." (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree; n, %) in the EMR data system.
For this analysis, the responses were classified into three groups:
- Satisfied with treatment effectiveness (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree)
- Dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness ( 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree)
- Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness (3 = Neither agree nor disagree)
Measured: 6 months after initiating treatment with secukinumab (The date of the first order or administration was the index date; index period: March 1, 2018 - January 31, 2020)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Psoriasis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 1 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Treatment satisfaction level at Baseline (time frame: Baseline). 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 1 Jul 2022.
