E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that at least 1 LY2439821 treatment group is superior to placebo in the proportion of adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis who achieve a 75% improvement from baseline to Week 12 in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) and to estimate the percentage PASI improvement by treatment using regression techniques. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To test the hypothesis that:
- at least one LY2439821 treatment group is superior to placebo in the proportion of patients with a sPGA score of cleared (0) or minimal (1) with at least a 2 point improvement from baseline at W12
- LY2439821 is superior to placebo in the sPGA at W 12 and to measure the response by treatment group
•To evaluate the proportion of patients who achieve:
- sPGA score of cleared (0) or minimal (1) at W20
- 75% improvement from baseline in the PASI at W20
•To explore:
- relationships between LY2439821 dose regimens and health outcomes
- immunogenicity as measured by anti-LY2439821 antibody titers
- relationships between clinical response and systemic exposure across the dose regimens
•To evaluate:
- safety and tolerability of LY2439821
- sustained efficacy in patients who experience treatment benefit at W20
- LY2439821 pharmacokinetics after multiple doses
- effect of long term LY2439821 treatment on disease severity as measured by PASI & sPGA |
