Detailed Description

In Part A1, eligible participants were randomized at Baseline at a ratio of 4:1, stratified by weight and prior exposure to tumor necrosis factor antagonists to receive double-blind (DB) risankizumab 150 mg or placebo at Weeks 0 and 4. In Part A2, participants randomized at Baseline to receive DB placebo then received risankizumab 150 mg at Weeks 16 (Part A2) and at Week 28 and every 12 weeks up to 88 weeks (Part B); participants randomized to risankizumab 150 mg continued to receive risankizumab 150 mg at Week 16. Participants who received risankizumab in Part A and were nonresponders (sPGA >2) at Week 28 received risankizumab 150 mg at Week 28 and every 12 weeks up to 88 weeks (Part B). In Part B, participants who received risankizumab in Part A and were responders (sPGA ≤2) at Week 28, were rerandomized at a ratio of 1:2 to receive DB risankizumab 150 mg or placebo at Week 28 and every 12 weeks up to 88 weeks (Part B). Starting at Week 32, rerandomized participants who reached relapse (defined as sPGA ≥3) were switched to risankizumab 150 mg every 12 weeks.

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving 90% Improvement Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI90) From Baseline to Week 16
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100. Non-responder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.
Baseline, Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA ranges from 0 to 4, and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean >0, <1.5; Mild (2) = mean ≥1.5, <2.5; Moderate (3) = mean ≥2.5, <3.5; and Severe (4) = mean ≥3.5. NRI was used for missing data.
Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving sPGA Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 52
Time Frame: Week 52
The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA ranges from 0 to 4, and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean >0, <1.5; Mild (2) = mean ≥1.5, <2.5; Moderate (3) = mean ≥2.5, <3.5; and Severe (4) = mean ≥3.5. NRI was used for missing data.
Week 52

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving 75% Improvement in PASI Score (PASI75) at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100. NRI was used for missing data.
Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving 100% Improvement in PASI Score (PASI100) at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI100 is defined as a 100% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100. NRI was used for missing data.
Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving an sPGA Score of Clear at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA ranges from 0 to 4, and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean >0, <1.5; Mild (2) = mean ≥1.5, <2.5; Moderate (3) = mean ≥2.5, <3.5; and Severe (4) = mean ≥3.5. NRI was used for missing data.
Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
The DLQI is a 10-question questionnaire that asks the participant to evaluate the degree that psoriasis has affected their quality of life in the last week and includes 6 domains (symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment). Responses to each domain are not relevant (0), not at all (0), a little (1), a lot (2), and very much (3). The DLQI is calculated by summing the scores of the questions and ranges from 1 to 30, where 0-1 = no effect on patient's life, 2-5 = small effect, 6-10 = moderate effect, 11-20 = very large effect, and 21-30 = extremely large effect on patient's life. The higher the score, the more the quality of life is impaired. NRI was used for missing data.
Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving an sPGA Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 104
Time Frame: Week 104
The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation.
