Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Brodalumab
Kyntheum® (brodalumab)> pre-filled syringe 210 mg/1.5 mL solution for subcutaneous injections.>
First 3 injections are administered weekly, and hereafter every two weeks (Q2W).
|
Brodalumab is a recombinant fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin IgG2-antibody that binds with high affinity to human interleukin 17 receptor A (IL-17RA).>
Blocking IL-17RA inhibits IL-17 cytokine-induced responses and results in reduced or normalised inflammation of the skin in subjects with psoriasis.

A negative value in the percent change from baseline that the PASI score was lower at the time of data collection. |
Baseline to Week 24
|
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Affected Body Surface Area (BSA)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
|
The surface area of the participant's hand (palm and fingers) is used as a reference measurement to calculate the percentage of each body region that is affected by psoriasis. One hand is approximately equal to 1% total BSA. Furthermore, the complete body surface area (BSA=100%) can be divided into regions that approximates percentages of BSA as follows: head and neck (10%), upper extremities (20%), the trunk including the axillae and groin (30%), and finally the lower extremities, including the buttocks (40%). A negative value in the percent change from baseline that the affected BSA was lower at the time of data collection. |
Baseline to Week 24
|
Psoriasis Symptom Inventory (PSI) Responder at Week 24 (Total Score ≤ 8, With no Item Scores > 1)
Time Frame: Week 24
|
The PSI consists of eight psoriasis-specific questions.
Trial participants rated the severity of their symptoms in the last 24 hours from 'not at all' to 'very severe,' ranging from 0 to 4. Total scores range from 0 to 32 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
PSI response is defined as total score ≤8 and no item score >1.
Symptom-free day is defined as having daily total PSI of 0 on that day.
|
Week 24
|
PSI Total Score of 0 at Week 24
Time Frame: Week 24
|

Baseline to Week 24
|
Burden of Symptoms
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
|
Burden of symptoms was assessed as the normalised area under the curve (AUC) of PSI from baseline to the last available assessment. The AUC for the PSI total score was calculated for each participant using the standard trapezoidal rule. The AUC was normalised by dividing it with the time from baseline to the last available assessment of the PSI total score. The PSI consists of eight psoriasis-specific questions. Trial participants rated the severity of their symptoms in the last 24 hours from 'not at all' to 'very severe,' ranging from 0 to 4. Total scores range from 0 to 32 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. |
Baseline to Week 24
|
Change From Baseline at Week 24 in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
|
DLQI consists of 10 items addressing the participant's perception of the impact of their skin disease on different aspects of their quality of life over the last week such as dermatology-related symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the treatment.
Each item is scored on a 4 point Likert scale (0 = not at all ⁄not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; 3 = very much).
The total score is the sum of the 10 items (0 to 30); a high score is indicative of a poor QoL.

Change From Baseline at Week 24 in NAPSI Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
|
The Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) grades nails by first dividing the nail area with imaginary horizontal and vertical lines into 4 quarters. The following 8 clinical features of nail psoriasis are then scored based on the number of quarters in which the feature is present (0 to 4) to arrive at a NAPSI score of 0 to 32 for each nail:
A negative change in NAPSI score means that the NAPSI score was lower at the time of data collection. |
