October 17, 2013 updated by: Centocor, Inc.

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Ustekinumab in the Treatment of Chinese Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque-type Psoriasis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (good or bad effects) and safety of ustekinumab in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis in China.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this study, 220 patients will be divided into two groups randomly (by chance), like flipping a coin. Each group will receive a different treatment. The results for each group are compared to each other. There are 2 treatment groups in this study, Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 will receive placebo at Weeks 0 and 4, ustekinumab 45 mg at Weeks 12 and 16. Group 2 will receive ustekinumab 45 mg at Weeks 0, 4, and 16 and placebo at Week 12. All patients in the study will eventually receive ustekinumab after Week 12. The patients will be in the study for about 36 weeks, with study visit approximately 10 times. Effectiveness evaluations will be conducted throughout the study and include the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Safety assessments will also be performed throughout the study and include obtaining and evaluating laboratory tests, vital signs (e.g., blood pressure) and the occurrence and severity of adverse events. GROUP 1: Placebo at Weeks 0 and 4, ustekinumab 45 mg at Weeks 12 and 16. GROUP 2: Ustekinumab 45 mg at Weeks 0, 4, and 16. Placebo at Week 12

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Number of Patients Who Achieved at Least a 75% Improvement in PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) From Baseline at Week 12.
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12
Scores could range from 0 (mild) to 72 (severe).
Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Number of Patients With a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Week 12
The Change in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) From Baseline at Week 12.
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12
Scores could range from 0 to 30. A lower DLQI score represents better quality of life.
Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
