About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Zasocitinib in Pediatric Participants Aged 4 to Less Than 18 Years With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis

The main aim of this study is to see how well the medicine zasocitinib works, how safe it is, and how children and teenagers aged 4 to under 18 with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis respond to it.

The study will be done in 2 parts: Part A will include both children and teenagers, while part B will only include children.

Read more

At first, only teenagers who meet the study rules can participate in this study. Children may only start to participate once enough information has been collected from other studies with zasocitinib.

Participants in Part A will initially be assigned to receive either zasocitinib or placebo for the first 16 weeks of treatment, then all participants will receive zasocitinib through the end of the study. All participants in Part B will be assigned to receive treatment with zasocitinib throughout the study.

Participants will be in the study for up to 4 years and 2 months (217 weeks), including up to 35 days for the screening period, 208 weeks of treatment (Part A and Part B) and a 4-week safety follow-up period. During the study, participants will visit their study site multiple times.

What is being measured

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

  1. Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) With a Greater than or Equal to (>=) 2-Point Decrease From Baseline at Week 16

    The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA composite score ranges from 0 to 4 and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean greater than (>) 0, less than (<) 1.5; Mild (2) = mean >= 1.5, <2.5; Moderate (3) = mean >=2.5, <3.5; and Severe (4) = mean >=3.5. The percentage of participants achieving an sPGA of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) with a >= 2-point decrease from baseline at Week 16 will be reported.

    Measured: At Week 16

  2. Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 75 Percent (%) Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Week 16

    The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity (less than or equal to [<=] 3 representing mild disease, >= 3 to 15 representing moderate disease, and >= 15 indicating severe disease). The PASI-75 is defined as 75% improvement from baseline in PASI score. The percentage of participants achieving >= 75% improvement from baseline in PASI score at Week 16 will be reported.

    Measured: At Week 16

  3. Part B: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Zasocitinib

    Cmax of zasocitinib in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose and Post-dose on Day 7

  4. Part B: Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Zasocitinib

    Tmax of zasocitinib in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose and Post-dose on Day 7

  5. Part B: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-Last) of Zasocitinib

    AUC0-Last of zasocitinib in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose and Post-dose on Day 7

Secondary outcomes (30)
  1. Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI-90 Response at Week 16

    The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity (less than or equal to [<=] 3 representing mild disease, >= 3 to 15 representing moderate disease, and >= 15 indicating severe disease). The PASI-90 is defined as 90% improvement from baseline in PASI score. The percentage of participants achieving at least 90% or greater reduction in the PASI score from baseline at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: At Week 16

  2. Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving an Enhanced sPGA Response of Clear (0) at Week 16

    The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA composite score ranges from 0 to 4 and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean greater than (>) 0, less than (<) 1.5; Mild (2) = mean >= 1.5, <2.5; Moderate (3) = mean >=2.5, <3.5; and Severe (4) = mean >=3.5. The percentage of participants achieving an enhanced sPGA response of Clear (0) at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: At Week 16

  3. Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI-100 Response at Week 16

    The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity (less than or equal to [<=] 3 representing mild disease, >= 3 to 15 representing moderate disease, and >= 15 indicating severe disease). The PASI-100 is defined as 100% improvement from baseline in PASI score. The percentage of participants achieving 100% improvement or complete clearance of psoriasis lesions in the PASI score from baseline at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: At Week 16

  4. Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Scalp-specific Physician's Global Assessment (ssPGA) Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) With a >=2-Point Decrease From Baseline for Participants With a Baseline ssPGA >=3 at Week 16

    ssPGA assesses the overall severity of active psoriasis on the participant's scalp. Scalp lesions will be evaluated in terms of clinical signs of erythema, induration, and scaling and scored on 5-point ssPGA scale where 0=absence of disease and 4=severe disease. Higher scores indicate more severe scalp psoriasis. The percentage of participants achieving an ssPGA score of at least 3 at baseline who show an ssPGA score of 0 or 1 with a >= 2-point decrease at Week 16 will be reported.

    Measured: At Week 16

  5. Part A: Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected by Psoriasis at Week 16

    Psoriasis BSA will be assessed by means of the handprint method, where the surface of the palm and 5 digits of the participant's hand represents 1% BSA. The sum of handprints equates to the total surface area of involvement. The change from baseline in BSA affected by psoriasis at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  6. Part A: Percent Change From Baseline in BSA Affected by Psoriasis at Week 16

    Psoriasis BSA will be assessed by means of the handprint method, where the surface of the palm and 5 digits of the participant's hand represents 1% BSA. The sum of handprints equates to the total surface area of involvement. The percent change from baseline in BSA affected by psoriasis at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  7. Part A: Percentage of Participants with a Baseline Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score >=2 who Achieve DLQI Score of Zero (0) or One (1) at Week 16

    The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire completed by participants aged 16 years or older at screening, which is used to assess the impact of skin disease on the participant's quality of life (QoL) during the previous week. The questionnaire covers 6 domains, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships and treatment. Each question is scored from 0=not at all, 1=a little, 2=a lot, and 3=very much, giving a total score ranging from 0 to 30. A high score is indicative of a poor QoL. DLQI scores indicate: 0-1 (no effect on participant's life), 2-5 (small effect on participant's life), 6-10 (moderate effect on participant's life), 11-20 (very large effect on participant's life), 21-30 (extremely large effect on participant's life). The percentage of participants with a baseline DLQI Score >= 2 who achieve DLQI Score of Zero (0) or One (1) at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: At Week 16

  8. Part A: Percentage of Participants With a Baseline Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) Score >=2 who Achieve CDLQI Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16

    The CDLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire completed by participants aged 4 to <16 years of age at screening, which is used to assess the impact of skin disease on the participant's quality of life (QoL) during the previous week. The questionnaire covers 6 domains designed to measure the impact of skin disease on the child's quality of life, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, school, personal relationships and treatment. The CDLQI score ranges from 0 to 30 points, higher score indicates greater severity. The percentage of participants with a baseline CDLQI Score >=2 who achieve CDLQI Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16 will be assessed.

    Measured: At Week 16

  9. Part A: Change From Baseline in DLQI at Week 16

    The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire completed by participants aged 16 years or older at screening, which is used to assess the impact of skin disease on the participant's quality of life (QoL) during the previous week. The questionnaire covers 6 domains, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships and treatment. Each question is scored from 0=not at all, 1=a little, 2=a lot, and 3=very much, giving a total score ranging from 0 to 30. A high score is indicative of a poor QoL. DLQI scores indicate: 0-1 (no effect on participant's life), 2-5 (small effect on participant's life), 6-10 (moderate effect on participant's life), 11-20 (very large effect on participant's life), 21-30 (extremely large effect on participant's life).

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 8 inclusion and 11 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in United States, China, Poland, Germany, Japan and 2 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Takeda Contact (+1-877-825-3327, medinfoUS@takeda.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) With a Greater than or Equal to (>=) 2-Point Decrease From Baseline at Week 16 (time frame: At Week 16). The study lists 5 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?
