About this study

Official title: Observational Study; Clinical Effectiveness and Impact on Health-related Quality of Life in Peruvian Patients With Psoriasis After 16 Weeks of Adalimumab Therapy

Adalimumab has recently been authorized for active psoriasis in Peru and local experience is very low. The aim of this study is to obtain Peruvian data of clinical effectiveness and impact on health-related quality of life with the use of adalimumab in participants with chronic plaque psoriasis complying with the dosing and monitoring recommendations of the local approved label.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Adalimumab Treatment in Participants with PsoriasisParticipants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis defined as Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≥ 10 and body surface area ≥ 10% with or without psoriatic arthritis, who have an adalimumab therapy indication because they are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and other systemic therapies are medically less appropriate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Reaching a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI-75) Response

    PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). PASI-75 responders are the participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 16. The mean PASI improvement was calculated using a linear regression model.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

  2. Percentage of Participants Reaching a Minimal Important Difference (MID) in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score

    Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score is a participant-reported outcome consisting of a set of 10 questions regarding the degree to which the participant's skin has affected certain behaviors and quality of life over the last week. Responses to each are: very much (score of 3), a lot, a little, or not at all (score of 0). The DLQI score ranges from 0 (best) to 30 (worst); the higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. MID for the DLQI was defined as a score decrease from baseline of 2.3 to 5. The mean DLQI improvement was calculated using a linear regression model.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) Index Score at Baseline and Week 16

    EQ-5D is a self-reported health outcome which measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain discomfort, anxiety, and depression. An overall score is derived that measures from -0.59 (worst) to +1 (best). Improvement was defined as a mean score increase of at least 0.2.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An adverse event was considered an SAE if it met any of the following criteria: death of the participant; life-threatening event; hospitalization; prolongation of hospitalization; congenital anomaly; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; an important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcome; spontaneous or elective abortion. SAEs included the occurrence of tuberculosis, opportunistic infection, and malignancy.

    Measured: From the time of informed consent until 70 days (5 half-lives) after the last dose of study drug (treatment was 16 weeks).

  3. Adherence to Adalimumab Treatment

    Adherence was measured by how many times a participant had a discontinuation (i.e., missed a study dose) during the 16 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

  4. Mean Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score Over Time

    PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). The mean PASI improvement was calculated using a linear regression model.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16

  5. Mean Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score Over Time

    DLQI score is a participant-reported outcome consisting of a set of 10 questions regarding the degree to which the participant's skin has affected certain behaviors and quality of life over the last week. Responses to each are: very much (score of 3), a lot, a little, or not at all (score of 0). The DLQI score ranges from 0 (best) to 30 (worst); the higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. The mean DLQI improvement was calculated using a linear regression model.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Moderate to Severe Psoriasis, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 3 sites in Peru.

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 2 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Peru. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Reaching a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI-75) Response (time frame: Baseline to Week 16). 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 25 Aug 2014.
