What is being measured

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

  1. Static Photographic Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Score as Assessed by Two Dermatologists

    Digital pictures of each participant's whole body were taken at each visit. Static PGA was assessed by two dermatologists on the basis of these pictures at a single point in time. The mean of the two readings from the dermatologists was used. Static PGA score ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (extreme psoriasis). The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis was.

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  2. Dynamic Photographic PGA Score as Assessed by Two Dermatologists

    The dynamic PGA score resulted from the comparison of two sets of pictures/visits. The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period (comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 14 (Visit 4) visits and comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits. Dynamic PGA was assessed by two dermatologists and the mean of the two readings was used. Clinical improvement was measured with a 10 centimeter (cm)-visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions).

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Static PGA Score as Assessed by the Investigator

    Static PGA was assessed at each visit by the investigator. Static PGA score ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (extreme psoriasis). The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis was.

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  2. Dynamic PGA Score as Assessed by the Investigator

    The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period. Clinical improvement from Baseline (Visit 1) was evaluated with a 10 cm-VAS ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions) at the Week 14 (Visit 4) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits.

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  3. Percent Body Surface Area (BSA) Involved With Psoriasis

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5),Week 30 (Visit 6)

  4. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score

    PASI ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 72 (very marked symptoms) and assessed 3 clinical signs within each area (head, arms, trunk, and legs): erythema (redness), induration (thickness), and desquamation (scaling).

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  5. Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) Score

    The nail was divided with imaginary horizontal and longitudinal lines into quadrants. Each nail was given a score for nail bed psoriasis (0-4) and nail matrix psoriasis (0-4) depending on the presence of any of the features of nail psoriasis in that quadrant. Each nail was evaluated, and the sum of all the nails was the total NAPSI score. The sum of the scores from all nails ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 80 (psoriasis present in all 4 quadrants of all 10 nails).

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  6. Static PGA Score as Assessed by the Participant

    Participants assessed their psoriasis at Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), and Week 30 (Visit 6) according to the Static PGA score, which ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (extreme psoriasis). The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis was.

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  7. Dynamic PGA Score as Assessed by the Participant

    The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period. Clinical improvement from Baseline (Visit 1) was evaluated with a 10 cm-VAS ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions) at the Week 14 (Visit 4) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits.

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  8. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score

    DLQI ranged from 0 (no effect on participant's life) to 30 (extremely large effect on participant's life) and was computed by summing the score (each ranging from 0 to 3) of each of a 10-item questionnaire.

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

  9. Number of Participants With Satisfactory Health Status

    Participant's opinion on his/her health status, as assessed by the following question: "Think about all the ways your psoriasis is affecting you, do you consider that your current status is satisfactory? (Yes/No)"

    Measured: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)

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?

Static Photographic Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Score as Assessed by Two Dermatologists (time frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)). 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 28 Jul 2015.
