What is being measured

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

  1. PASI 75 Response After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Percentage of participants who achieve ≥ 75% reduction in PASI compared to baseline. A PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score is a tool used to measure the severity and extent of psoriasis. The score ranges from 0 (no signs of psoriasis) to a theoretic maximum of 72. The intensity of redness, thickness and scaling of the psoriasis is assessed as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3) or very severe (4).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. IGA Mod 2011 0 or 1 Response After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Percentage of participants who achieve IGA mod 2011 0 or 1, and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale compared to baseline. This scale ranges from 0 (clear, no signs of psoriasis) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. PASI 90 Response

    Percentage of participants who achieve ≥ 90% reduction in PASI compared to baseline

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. PASI 50, 75, 90 and 100 and IGA Mod 2011 0 or 1 Response

    Percentage of participants who achieve ≥ 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% reduction in PASI and achieve IGA mod 2011 0 or 1, and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale compared to baseline at each visit up to 52 weeks

    Measured: 52 weeks

  3. Successful Self-injection

    Subject usability (ability to follow instructions for use and potential use-related hazards) and satisfaction with the new secukinumab 2 mL AI utilizing a self-administered Self-Injection Assessment Questionnaire (SIAQ) and investigator/site staff observation of secukinumab 300 mg 2 mL AI administration. The Satisfaction with Self-Injection (SA) domain score ranges from 0 (worst experience) to 10 (best experience).

    Measured: From randomization until Week 28

  4. Dermatology Life Quality Index, (DLQI) 0 or 1 Score (Total Score)

    DLQI is a simple, compact, and practical questionnaire for use in a dermatology clinical setting to assess limitations related to the impact of skin disease. The instrument contains ten items dealing with the participant's skin. With the exception of Item Number 7, the participant responds on a four-point scale, ranging from "Very Much" (score 3) to "Not at All" or "Not relevant" (score 0). Item Number 7 is a multi-part item, the first part of which ascertains whether the participant's skin prevented them from working or studying (Yes or No, scores 3 or 0 respectively), and if "No," then the participant is asked how much of a problem the skin has been at work or study over the past week, with response alternatives being "A lot," "A little," or "Not at all" (scores 2, 1, or 0 respectively). The DLQI total score is derived by summing all item scores, which has a possible range of 0 to 30, with 30 corresponding to the worst quality of life, and 0 corresponding to the best.

    Measured: Change from Baseline up to 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Secukinumab 2 mL auto-injector and Secukinumab 1 mL prefilled syringe in people with Plaque Psoriasis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 22 sites in 6 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 8 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 11 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States, Spain, Germany, Canada, Poland and 1 more country. 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 26 Aug 2021). 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?

PASI 75 Response After 12 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 11 Oct 2021.
