About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of HS-20137, an Anti-IL-23 Monoclonal Antibody, in Participants with Moderate-to-severe Plaque Psoriasis

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HS-20137 in the treatment of participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Read the detailed description

HS-20137 is an antibody targeting IL-23, which were recommended biologic agents for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase 3 study, including a 4 weeks screening period, a 52 weeks double-blinded period (placebo-control period in the first 16 weeks) and a 8 weeks follow-up period (total 60 weeks). The hypothesis is that HS-20137 will be more effective in treatment of psoriasis than placebo and well tolerated. Participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis will be included in this study and received HS-20137 200mg or placebo in week 0, 4, 8 in placebo-control period and then HS-20137 200mg every 8 or 12 weeks thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score of 90 Percent or Above

    Number of participants achieving greater than or equal to 90 percent improvement in PASI at Week 16. PASI is a widely used tool for the measurement of severity of psoriasis. AND, number of participants achieving a physician global assessment (PGA) (0 [none] to 4 [severe]) of cleared or minimal at Week 16

    Measured: At week 16

  2. Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score of 0/1

    number of participants achieving a physician global assessment (PGA) (0 [none] to 4 [severe]) of cleared or minimal at Week 16. The PGA is 5-point scale used in clinical trials of various diseases. In this the physician checks the state of the disease and gives them score from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe)

    Measured: At week 16

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. PASI 90 response rate at other visit time points

    Measured: up to 60 weeks

  2. PASI scores and changes from baseline at each visit time point

    Measured: up to 60 weeks

  3. PASI 75 response rate and PASI 100 response rate at each visit time point

    Measured: up to 60 weeks

  4. sPGA 0/1 response rate at other visit time points

    Measured: during the study period except 16 weeks

  5. sPGA 0 response rate at each visit time point

    Measured: up to 60 weeks

  6. BSA scores and changes from baseline at each visit time point

    body surface area(BSA):0 = absence of disease, 1 = very mild disease, 2 = mild disease, 3 = moderate disease, and 4 = severe disease

    Measured: up to 60 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing HS-20137 in people with Moderate-to-severe Plaque Psoriasis, run by Hansoh BioMedical R&D Company.

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 11 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Number of Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score of 90 Percent or Above (time frame: At 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 Feb 2025.
