E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of BI 655066 compared to ustekinumab and placebo in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Additionally, this trial will assess PK and the emergence of anti-drug antibodies, as well as the influence of study treatment on disease specific biomarkers, psoriatic arthritis, and metabolic risk factors. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Male or female patients with age >= 18 years at screening,
Women of childbearing potential must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control,
Have a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis) for at least 6 months before the first administration of study drug.
Have stable moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis at both Screening and Baseline (Randomization):
a. Have an involved body surface area (BSA) >= 10% and
b. Have a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score >= 12 and
c. Have a static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of >= 3.
Must be candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy for psoriasis treatment, as assessed by the investigator
Must be a candidate for treatment with Stelara® (ustekinumab) according to local label. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients with:
a. non-plaque forms of psoriasis (including guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular),
b. current drug-induced psoriasis (including an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or lithium),
c. active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that might confound trial evaluations according to investigators judgment,
Previous exposure to BI 655066,
Previous exposure to ustekinumab (Stelara®),
Currently enrolled in another investigational study or less than 30 days (from screening) since completing another investigational study (participation in observational studies is permitted),
Use of any restricted medication , or any drug considered likely to interfere with the safe conduct of the study,
Major surgery performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization or planned within 12 months after screening (e.g. hip replacement, aneurysm removal, stomach ligation),
Known chronic or relevant acute infections including active tuberculosis, HIV or viral hepatitis,
Any documented active or suspected malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except appropriately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of uterine cervix,
Evidence of a current or previous disease, medical condition (including chronic alcohol or drug abuse) other than psoriasis, surgical procedure (i.e., organ transplant), medical examination finding (including vital signs and ECG), or laboratory value at the screening visit outside the reference range that is in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically significant and would make the study participant unreliable to adhere to the protocol or to complete the trial, compromise the safety of the patient, or compromise the quality of the data,
History of allergy/hypersensitivity to a systemically administered biologic agent or its excipients,
Women who is pregnant, nursing, or who plans to become pregnant while in the trial, |
