E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To compare the efficacy of CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) versus etanercept (50 mg BIW) and placebo for the reduction in severity of plaque psoriasis after 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy;
• Efficacy as measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI75) response, ie, the proportion of subjects achieving at least a 75% reduction in PASI relative to baseline;
• Efficacy as measured by the Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA) response, ie, the proportion of subjects achieving a PGA of “clear” or “almost clear”;
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) over 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To compare the efficacy of CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) versus placebo for the reduction in severity of plaque psoriasis at various timepoints during 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy;
• To evaluate the efficacy of CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) versus placebo for the reduction in pruritis at various timepoints during 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy;
• To evaluate the effects on patient reported outcome (PRO) measures during 12 weeks of treatment with CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) versus placebo at various timepoints in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legal representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.
2. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
3. Be at least 18 years of age at time of informed consent.
4. Have had a diagnosis of plaque type psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) for at least 12 months prior to first dose of study drug.
5. Have a PASI score of 12 or greater AND a PGA score of 3 (“moderate”) or 4 (“severe”) at Baseline/Day 1 (prior to first dose of study drug).
6. Have plaque-type psoriasis covering at least 10% of total body surface area (BSA) at Baseline/Day 1.
7. Considered by dermatologist investigator to be a candidate for systemic therapy or phototherapy of psoriasis (either naïve or history of previous treatment) based on etanercept local label.
8. Considered by dermatologist investigator to have failed to respond to, or who have a contraindication to, or are intolerant to at least one conventional systemic therapy for the treatment of plaque psoriasis (including, but not limited to, cyclosporine, methotrexate, or psoralen plus ultraviolet A light [PUVA]).
9. Sexually active women of childbearing potential are required to use highly effective contraceptive methods during participation in this study. No specific contraceptive measures are required in male subjects during study participation, unless required according to the etanercept approved local product labeling. (Further description of the requirements and a list of contraceptives considered effective and acceptable for use in this study will be found in Section 4.4.7.)
10. No evidence of active or latent or inadequately treated infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) as defined by all of the following:
• A negative QuantiFERON® TB Gold (QFT G) In Tube test performed at or within 3 months prior to a given Screening visit. If QFT testing is unavailable or indeterminate upon retest, a Mantoux/Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) tuberculin skin test can be performed at or within the 3 months prior to a given Screening visit. The Mantoux PPD tuberculin test consists of intracutaneous injection of PPD according to local standards in 0.1 mL of solution on the volar aspect of the forearm, using a short beveled 26 or 27 gauge needle. The test is positive according to local standard 48 to 72 hours after injection (evaluation by a health care professional in 48 to 72 hours must be performed). A negative Mantoux PPD tuberculin test is required to meet the inclusion criterion.
• Chest radiographs, taken at or within the 3 months prior to a given Screening visit, without changes suggestive of active TB infection as determined by a qualified radiologist;
• No history of either untreated or inadequately treated latent or active TB infection;
• If a subject has previously received an adequate course of therapy for either latent (9 months of isoniazid in a locale where rates of primary multi drug TB resistance are <5 % or an acceptable alternative regimen) or active (acceptable multi drug regimen) TB infection, neither a QFT G test nor a PPD test need be obtained, but chest radiographs must still be obtained if not performed within 3 months prior to a given Screening visit. Documentation of adequate treatment for TB will be obtained prior to first dose of study drug;
• A subject who is currently being treated for active TB infection is to be excluded;
• A subject who is currently being treated for latent TB infection can only be enrolled with confirmation of current incidence rates of multi drug resistant TB infection in the locale, documentation of an adequate treatment regimen, and with prior approval by the Sponsor.
11. Must agree to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and avoid use of tanning booths or other ultraviolet light sources during the study.
12. If receiving non prohibited concomitant medications for any reason, must be on a stable regimen, which is defined as not starting a new drug or changing dosage within 7 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) prior to first dose of study drug. Subject must be willing to stay on a stable regimen, as defined in Section 5.5.1.

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
End of trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it is deemed that sufficient subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated in the regulatory application (ie, Clinical Study Application (CTA)) and ethics application in the Member State. Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated number in the CTA) by a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but is considered a normal conclusion to the study in that Member State. |
