A Phase II/III, Randomized, Double-blind Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Dose Regimens of BI 655066 (Risankizumab) and Placebo and Maintenance of Response of BI 655066 (Risankizumab) Administered Subcutaneously in Japanese Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Type Psoriasis.

This is a randomized double blind, double dummy, placebo controlled, parallel design study that is being performed to assess the safety and efficacy of BI 655066 (risankizumab).

Detailed Description

Participants were randomized to receive either placebo, risankizumab 75 mg, or risankizumab 150 mg in Part A. All participants received 2 injections to maintain the blind: the placebo arm received 2 injections of placebo, the risankizumab 75 mg arm received one injection of risankizumab 75 mg and one injection of placebo, and the risankizumab 150 mg arm received 2 injections of risankizumab 75 mg. Participants who received placebo in Part A switched to risankizumab in Part B; participants who received risankizumab (75 mg or 150 mg) in Part A continued to receive the same treatment (risankizumab 75 mg or 150 mg) in Part B.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis) for at least 6 months before the first administration of study drug. Duration of diagnosis may be reported by the patient.
  • Have stable moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis at both Screening and Baseline (Randomisation):

    1. Have an involved body surface area (BSA) ≥10% and
    2. Have a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score ≥12 and
    3. Have a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of ≥3.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with

    1. non-plaque forms of psoriasis (including guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular)
    2. current drug-induced psoriasis (including an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or lithium)
    3. active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that might confound trial evaluations according to investigator's judgment

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI90) at Week 16 (Part A)
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. 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. Nonresponder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.

Week 52
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 16 (Part A)
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. Nonresponder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.
