Etanercept (Enbrel®) in Psoriasis - Pediatrics
Placebo-controlled Multicenter Study With Etanercept to Determine Safety and Efficacy in Pediatric Subjects With Plaque Psoriasis (PEDS)
Study Overview
Detailed Description
On enrollment, participants underwent randomization in a 1:1 ratio to receive placebo or etanercept during the initial double-blind period. Participants could enter an escape group and receive open-label etanercept until week 12 if, at or after week 4, their Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score either increased by more than 50% over baseline and by a minimum of 4 points at one visit or increased by more than 25% and by a minimum of 4 points at each of two consecutive visits.
During the open-label treatment period, all patients (including those who entered the escape group) received open-label etanercept. Participants who did not achieve PASI 50 at week 24 or PASI 75 at week 36 could discontinue the study or add topical standard-of-care therapy (low-to-moderate-potency topical corticosteroids) and continue to receive open-label etanercept until week 48.
At week 36, participants with PASI 50 at week 24 or PASI 75 at week 36 were randomly assigned to placebo or etanercept for 12 weeks in the withdrawal period. Participants in whom PASI 75 was lost resumed open-label etanercept through week 48 in the re-treatment period.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants received placebo administered by subcutaneous injection once a week during the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (day 1 to week 12). Participants with a > 50% worsening (ie, increase) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at or after week 4 compared with baseline and an increase of at least 4 points at 1 visit, or an increase of more than 25% and by a minimum of 4 points at each of two consecutive visits, could escape to etanercept 0.8 mg/kg once a week up to week 12. Participants received open-label etanercept 0.8 mg/kg once a week during the 24-week, open-label treatment period (weeks 13 to 36). At week 36, participants with PASI 50 at week 24 or PASI 75 at week 36 were re-randomized to placebo or etanercept in the 12-week double-blind, withdrawal-retreatment period (weeks 37 to 48). |

Experimental: Etanercept
Participants received 0.8 mg/kg etanercept administered by subcutaneous injection once a week during the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (day 1 to week 12). Participants with a > 50% worsening (ie, increase) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at or after week 4 compared with baseline and an increase of at least 4 points at 1 visit, or an increase of more than 25% and by a minimum of 4 points at each of two consecutive visits, could escape to etanercept 0.8 mg/kg once a week up to week 12. Participants received open-label etanercept 0.8 mg/kg once a week during the 24-week, open-label treatment period (weeks 13 to 36). At week 36, participants with PASI 50 at week 24 or PASI 75 at week 36 were re-randomized to placebo or etanercept in the 12-week double-blind, withdrawal-retreatment period (weeks 37 to 48). |

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI 75) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
|
The percentage of participants who achieved 75% or greater improvement (decrease) from baseline in PASI score after 12 weeks of treatment. The PASI score is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) scored on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement). PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease. Participants who entered the escape arm or had missing data at week 12 were considered non-responders. |

Baseline and week 12
|
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
|
The sPGA is a static measurement based on induration, erythema, and scaling. The sPGA is assessed on a scale from 0 to 5: 0 = clear (no evidence of plaque elevation, erythema or scaling)
Participants who entered the escape arm or had missing data at week 12 were considered non-responders. |
Week 12
|
Percent Improvement From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
|
The Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was used to assess the impact of psoriasis on subject health-related quality of life. The CDLQI has 10 items assessing health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with skin disease each measured on a scale from 0 (Not at all) to 3 (Very much). The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicating better quality of life. If participants were ≥ 13 years old, the text instrument was completed by the participants themselves. Participants ≥ 8 but < 13 years old used the cartoon version of the instrument and participants ≤ 7 years old used the cartoon version of the instrument completed with help from the parents or caregivers. Percent improvement from baseline = (Baseline Value - Post-baseline Value) / Baseline Value * 100. Participants who entered the escape arm or who had missing data at week 12 were considered to have 0% improvement from baseline. |
Baseline and week 12
|
Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 90% Improvement in PASI Score (PASI 90) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
|
The percentage of participants who achieved 90% or greater improvement from baseline in PASI score after 12 weeks of treatment. The PASI score is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) scored on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement). PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease. Participants who entered the escape arm or had missing data at week 12 were considered non-responders. |

Number of Participants With Adverse Events During the Double-blind Treatment Period
Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
The severity assessment for adverse events and infections was done using the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Version 2.0, where Grade 0 = no toxicity, Grade 1 = mild toxicity, Grade 2 = moderate toxicity, Grade 3 = severe toxicity, Grade 4 = life-threatening toxicity. Serious adverse events were any events that suggested a significant hazard or side effect, regardless of the investigator's or sponsor's opinion on the relationship to study medication. These included, but were not limited to, events at any dose that were fatal, life threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, were a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or were a congenital abnormality/birth defect. Medical events that jeopardized a participant, required intervention to prevent one of the above outcomes, or resulted in urgent investigation could be considered serious. |
