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.
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
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
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
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
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)
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Measured: Baseline, Week 16
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).

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.
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.

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