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.

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
treatment success on the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of disease severity
Time Frame: Study Week 4 (Day 28 ± 4 days)
The proportion of subjects in each treatment group with "treatment success" (defined as none or minimal, a score of 0 or 1, within the treatment area) on the PGA of disease severity
Study Week 4 (Day 28 ± 4 days)
clinical success on the Physician's Global Assessment (PASI) of disease severity
Time Frame: Study Week 4 (Day 28 ± 4 days)
The proportion of subjects in each treatment group with "clinical success" (defined as clear or almost clear, a score of 0 or 1, at the target lesion site) on the PASI. Each psoriatic sign of scaling, erythema and plaque elevation should have a score of 0 or 1 for the subject to be considered a clinical success. The target lesion is to be identified at Baseline as the most severe lesion.
Study Week 4 (Day 28 ± 4 days)

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.
