Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the study drug recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Description:

Study SSGJ-608-PsO-III-01 is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study examining the effect of 2 dose regimens of recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody versus placebo in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis during an induction dosing period with dosing for 12 weeks and the primary endpoint measured at 12 weeks, followed by a randomized, double-blind, 40-week maintenance dosing period. During the maintenance dosing period, the study will evaluate the maintenance of response/remission, as well as relapse following treatment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants Achieving a =75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75)	The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).	At Week 12
Primary	Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0) or Minimal (1) With at Least a 2 Point Improvement	The sPGA is the physician's determination of the participant's Ps lesions overall at a given time point. Lesions were categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. Participants Ps were assessed as 0 (clear), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe), or 5 (very severe). An sPGA responder was defined as having a postbaseline sPGA score of "0" or "1" with at least a 2-point improvement from baseline.	At Week 12
Secondary	Key Secondary: Percentage of Participants Achieving a =90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90)	The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).	At Week 12
Secondary	Key Secondary: Percentage of Participants Achieving a 100% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 100)	The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).	At Week 12
Secondary	Key Secondary: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0)	The sPGA is the physician's determination of the participant's Ps lesions overall at a given time point. Lesions were categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. Participants Ps were assessed as 0 (clear), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe), or 5 (very severe).	At Week 12
Secondary	In the IMP Group, Percentage of Participants Still Maintaining PASI 75, PASI 90 and sPGA 0/1 At Week 52 From Week 12 for Participants Who Achieved PASI 75, PASI 90 and sPGA 0/1	The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region * area score * weighing factor [head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs(0.4)]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).	At Week 52
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving an Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) =4 Point Reduction From Baseline for Participants Who Had Baseline Itch NRS =4	The Itch NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 (no itch) and 10 (worst itch imaginable). Overall severity of a participant's itching from Ps is indicated by circling the number that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.	At Week 12
