A Study of Moderate-to-severe Plaque Psoriasis Patients Response to Secukinumab Treatment in Real-world Setting

Novartis Pharmaceuticals79 enrolled

Overview

This study was a one-arm, retrospective cohort study that observed clinical psoriasis patients who received secukinumab treatment in Indonesia from the 01 August 2017 until the 31 October 2020. Patients' data were obtained from the medical records of a dermatology clinic in Jakarta, Indonesia. The primary endpoints were set at Week 16, and secondary endpoints at Weeks 16 and 52. At each endpoint, the study assessed effectiveness by measuring the proportion of psoriasis patients receiving secukinumab who achieved Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 (at Week 8) and PASI 90 (at Weeks 16 and 52).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of patients achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score <1, PASI score < 2, PASI score < 3, and PASI score < 5 at Week 16

The PASI is used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. PASI scores can range from a lower value of 0, corresponding to no signs of psoriasis, up to a theoretic maximum of 72.0.

Time frame: Week 16

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of patients achieving PASI 75 or higher response at Week 8

PASI 75 response was defined as ≥ 75% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Time frame: Week 8

Percentage of patients achieving PASI 90 or higher response at Week 16

PASI 90 response was defined as ≥ 90% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Time frame: Week 16

Percentage of patients achieving PASI 90 or higher response at Week 52

PASI 90 response was defined as ≥ 90% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Time frame: Week 52

Number of injections needed to achieve at least PASI 90

PASI 90 response was defined as ≥ 90% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Time frame: Weeks 16 and 52

Percentage of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who achieved at least PASI 90 at Week 16 with secukinumab

PASI 90 response was defined as ≥ 90% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Time frame: Week 16

Percentage of patients with relapse event after treatment discontinuation

Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

Length of remission period for patients with relapse, calculated from the last treatment date until relapse or starting recurrent symptom(s) or sign(s)

Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

Percentage of patients achieving Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1 at Week 52

DLQI is a ten-item general dermatology disability index designed to assess healthrelated quality of life in adult participants with skin diseases such psoriasis. It is a selfadministered questionnaire which includes domains of daily activity, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment and school/work activities. Each domain has 4 response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) 1 ( a little) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" is a valid score also and is scored as 0.
