Clinical Trial Summary

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).

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants Achieving 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI90) at Week 16 (Part A)	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 16
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI90 at Week 52 (Part B)	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
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 16 (Part A)	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.	Week 16
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving sPGA Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 52 (Part B)	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.	Week 52
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving 75% Improvement in PASI Score (PASI75) at Week 16 (Part A)	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 PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI75 is defined as at least a 75% 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 16
