About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Recombinant Anti-IL-17A Humanized Monoclonal Antibody in Chinese Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the study drug recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Read the detailed description

Study SSGJ-608-PsO-III-01 is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study examining the effect of 2 dose regimens of recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody versus placebo in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis during an induction dosing period with dosing for 12 weeks and the primary endpoint measured at 12 weeks, followed by a randomized, double-blind, 40-week maintenance dosing period. During the maintenance dosing period, the study will evaluate the maintenance of response/remission, as well as relapse following treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75)

    The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).

    Measured: At Week 12

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0) or Minimal (1) With at Least a 2 Point Improvement

    The sPGA is the physician's determination of the participant's Ps lesions overall at a given time point. Lesions were categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. Participants Ps were assessed as 0 (clear), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe), or 5 (very severe). An sPGA responder was defined as having a postbaseline sPGA score of "0" or "1" with at least a 2-point improvement from baseline.

    Measured: At Week 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Key Secondary: Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90)

    The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).

    Measured: At Week 12

  2. Key Secondary: Percentage of Participants Achieving a 100% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 100)

    The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).

    Measured: At Week 12

  3. Key Secondary: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0)

    The sPGA is the physician's determination of the participant's Ps lesions overall at a given time point. Lesions were categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. Participants Ps were assessed as 0 (clear), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe), or 5 (very severe).

    Measured: At Week 12

  4. In the IMP Group, Percentage of Participants Still Maintaining PASI 75, PASI 90 and sPGA 0/1 At Week 52 From Week 12 for Participants Who Achieved PASI 75, PASI 90 and sPGA 0/1

    The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).

    Measured: At Week 52

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving an Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ≥4 Point Reduction From Baseline for Participants Who Had Baseline Itch NRS ≥4

    The Itch NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 (no itch) and 10 (worst itch imaginable). Overall severity of a participant's itching from Ps is indicated by circling the number that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.

    Measured: At Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 608 Q2W and 608 Q4W in people with Psoriasis, run by Sunshine Guojian Pharmaceutical (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 Mar 2025. 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 China. 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?

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?

Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) (time frame: At Week 12). 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 NCT05536726, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2025.
