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

This is a randomized (drug assigned by chance), double-blind (a medical research study in which neither the researchers nor the participants know what treatment the participant is receiving), placebo-controlled, parallel (a medical research study comparing the response in two or more groups of participants receiving different treatments), multicenter of ustekinumab in adolescent participants with moderate to severe psoriasis. The total duration of study will be 60 weeks. The study will consists of 2 parts; a Screening period and a Treatment period. In treatment period participants will receive either ustekinumab half standard dosage, ustekinumab standard dosage or Placebo. Participants receiving ustekinumab half standard dosage and ustekinumab standard dosage at Week 0, will receive placebo at Week 12 and participants receiving placebo at Week 0 will be randomly assigned to either ustekinumab half standard dosage or ustekinumab standard dosage Weeks 12, 16, 28, and 40. Primarily efficacy will be evaluated by physician's global assessment (PGA) score of cleared or minimal disease. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

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 Percentage of Participants Achieving a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
The PGA documents the physician's assessment of the participant's psoriasis status according to the following categories: induration, scaling, and erythema. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as 5-point scale as follows: cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4); higher score indicates worse disease. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of 0 or 1 at Week 12 in each treatment group.
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 Percentage of Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse disease. A PASI 75 response is defined as a equal to or greater than (=>) 75% improvement in PASI score from baseline. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PASI 75 response at Week 12 in each treatment group.
Week 12
Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) Score at Week 12 Compared Between the Placebo Group and the Ustekinumab Treatment Groups
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 12
The CDLQI is a dermatology-specific quality of life instrument designed to assess the impact of the disease on a child's quality of life. The CDLQI, a 10-item questionnaire has 4 items response options and a recall period of 1 week. In addition to evaluating overall quality of life, the CDLQI can be used to assess 6 different aspects that may affect quality of life: symptoms and feelings, leisure, School or holidays, personal relationships, sleep, and treatment. The CDLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0; the higher the score, the greater impairment in quality of life. The table below shows the mean change in CDLQI score from baseline at Week 12 for each treatment group.
Baseline; Week 12
The Percentage of Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 Response at Week 12 Compared Between the Placebo Group and the Ustekinumab Treatment Groups
Time Frame: Week 12
The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse disease. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PASI 90 response defined as achieving a greater than or equal to (≥) 90% improvement in PASI score from baseline.
Week 12
The Percentage of Participants Achieving a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score of Cleared (0) and PGA Score of Mild or Better (<=2) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
The PGA documents the physician's assessment of the participant's psoriasis status according to the following categories: induration, scaling, and erythema. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as 5-point scale as follows: cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4); higher score indicates worse disease. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of 0 and the percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of 0, 1, or 2 at Week 12 in each treatment group.
Week 12
The Percentage of Participants Who Were PASI 50 Responders and the Percentage of Participants With a PASI Score of 0 at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). The table below shows the percentage of participants in each treatment group who were PASI 50 responders at Week 12 defined as participants who achieved a greater than or equal to (>=) 50% improvement in PASI score from baseline as well as the percentage of participants with a PASI score of 0.
Week 12
The Change From Baseline in Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Total Scale Score, Psychosocial Health Summary Score, and Physical Health Summary Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
The PedsQL is a general health-related quality of life measure developed for use in children and adolescent populations. The Generic Core Scale contains 23 items and is comprised of 4 domains: physical, social, emotional, and school functioning. Each domain can be scored independently. Additionally, a Psychosocial Health and Physical Health Summary Score can be calculated as well as a total score. The measure distinguishes between healthy children and children with acute and chronic health conditions and disease severity within a chronic health condition. The measure is applicable for healthy school and community populations, as well as with pediatric populations with acute and chronic health conditions and has versions for both parent and teen report. Scores range from 0 to 100, and higher scores indicate better health related quality of life.
Week 12
The Percentage of Participants With CDLQI Scores of 0 or 1 at Week 12 for Randomized Participants With a Baseline CDLQI Score > 1
Time Frame: Week 12
