What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Greater Than or Equal to 75% Reduction (PASI 75) Response at Week 12

    The percentage of participants with a greater than or equal to 75% reduction (improvement) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at Week 12. PASI is a composite measure of the level of erythema (redness of the skin), induration (hardening of the skin), and desquamation (peeling of the skin) on 4 sites (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities), each of which are rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (very marked). The possible range for PASI score is 0 to 72, with the highest score representing complete erythroderma of the severest possible degree; a decrease in score indicates improvement.

  15. Change From Baseline in the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS) and Mental Component Score (MCS) [Period A]

    Short Form-36 is a generic 36-item questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 summary measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The SF-36 consists of 8 subscales. The PCS is represented by 4 subscales: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, bodily pain, and general health perception. The MCS is represented by 4 subscales: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Participants self-report on items in a subscale that have choices per item. Summations of item scores of the same subscale give the subscale scores, which were transformed into a range from 0 to 100; zero= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. PCS and MCS scores were constructed as a T-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 and no minimum or maximum score. The difference from baseline to week 12 in SF-36 PCS and MCS was calculated.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  16. Change From Baseline in the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS) and Mental Component Score (MCS) [Period B]

    Short Form-36 is a generic 36-item questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 summary measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The SF-36 consists of 8 subscales. The PCS is represented by 4 subscales: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, bodily pain, and general health perception. The MCS is represented by 4 subscales: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Participants self-report on items in a subscale that have choices per item. Summations of item scores of the same subscale give the subscale scores, which were transformed into a range from 0 to 100; zero= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adalimumab in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 16 sites in China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 19 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jan 2015). 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 Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Greater Than or Equal to 75% Reduction (PASI 75) Response at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). 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 19 Jan 2015.
