About this study

Psoriasis is one of the most common immune-mediated inflammatory disorders characterized by a chronic course. It affects approximately 2-3% of the world's population Psoriasis may be provoked by environmental factors in patients with genetic predispositions. Psoriasis is phenotypically characterized by thickened, red, scaly plaques and systemic inflammation, it is also associated with multiple comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, metabolic diseases, chronic kidney disease, and joint destruction. Psoriasis is pathogenically driven by proinflammatory cytokines and mediated by T and dendritic cells. Inflammatory myeloid dendritic cells release interleukin (IL) 23 and IL-12 to activate IL-17-producing T cells, Th1 cells, and Th22 cells to produce psoriatic cytokines like IL-17, interferon (IFN) γ, TNF, and IL-22. These cytokines mediate the effects on keratinocytes. Secukinumab is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a proinflammatory cytokine released by T-helper-17 (Th17) cells, IL-17A. It blocks its binding with IL-17R and the expression of cytokines. This blockade normalizes the inflammatory processes and combats epidermal hyperproliferation, T-cell infiltration, and exaggerated expression of pathogenic genes.

Read the detailed description

Plaque psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by the formation of thick, scaly plaques on the skin surface. It affects millions of individuals worldwide and significantly impacts their quality of life. While several treatment options exist, a substantial number of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis fail to achieve satisfactory results or experience intolerable side effects with conventional therapies.

Psoriasis is pathogenically driven by proinflammatory cytokines and mediated by T cells and dendritic cells. In recent years, the advent of biologic agents targeting specific immune pathways has revolutionized the management of psoriasis. Secukinumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin-17A, has shown promising results in randomized controlled trials and real-world studies. However, there remains a need to assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of Secukinumab in routine clinical practice, particularly in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who may have diverse characteristics and treatment histories.

This observational study aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of Secukinumab in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. By collecting data from a diverse patient population in routine clinical settings, we aim to provide valuable insights into the outcomes and experiences of patients receiving Secukinumab outside the controlled environment of clinical trials.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of Secukinumab in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

    Efficacy will be assessed using psoriasis area and severity index. The minimum score of psoriasis area and severity index is 0 and the maximum score is 72. All patients who will be presented with 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index at the end of the therapy compared to baseline will be labelled as positive for efficacy.

    Measured: From day of randomisation until final dose of drug,assessed upto 12 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean difference of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score before and after the treatment

    Psoriasis area and severity index score difference before the treatment and after the treatment will be measured

    Measured: From day of randomisation until final dose of drug,assessed upto 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Secukinumab Injection in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 7 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 7 Jun 2023. 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 Pakistan. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Efficacy of Secukinumab in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (time frame: From day of randomisation until final dose of drug,assessed upto 12 months.). 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 7 Jun 2023.
