E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of a twice weekly maintenance regimen with LEO 90100 compared to vehicle in the prevention of relapse in subjects with psoriasis vulgaris. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the long-term efficacy of LEO 90100 (up to 52 weeks) twice weekly maintenance regimen compared to vehicle in subjects with psoriasis
• To evaluate the long-term safety of LEO 90100 (up to 52 weeks) in subjects with psoriasis vulgaris
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- A clinical diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris for at least 6 months involving the trunk and/or limbs, amenable to treatment with a maximum of 100 g of trial medication per week
- Psoriasis vulgaris on the trunk and/or limbs (excluding psoriasis on the genitals and skin folds) involving 2-30% of the body surface area (BSA)
- A target lesion/target location of at least 3 cm at its longest axis located on the body (i.e., not on the scalp, face or intertriginous areas), scoring at least 1 (‘mild’) for each of redness, thickness and scaliness, and at least 4 in total by the Investigator’s Assessment of Severity of the Target Lesion/Location
For subjects participating in HPA-axis testing furthermore:
- An extent of psoriasis vulgaris on trunk and/or limbs of disease severity (PGA) of at least ‘moderate’ affecting between 10 and 30% of the body surface area (BSA) excluding psoriatic lesions of genitals and skin folds at Visit 1 |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Systemic treatment with biological therapies, whether marketed or not, with a possible effect on psoriasis vulgaris within the following time periods prior to Visit 1:
• etanercept – within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
• adalimumab, infliximab – within 8 weeks prior to Visit 1
• ustekinumab – within 16 weeks prior to Visit 1
• secukinumab – within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
• other products – within 4 weeks/5 half-lives prior to Visit 1 (whichever is longer)
- Systemic treatment with all other therapies with a possible effect on psoriasis vulgaris (e.g. corticosteroids, retinoids, methotrexate, ciclosporin and other immunosuppressants within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1)
- Systemic treatment with apremilast within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
- Psoralen combined with Ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
- Ultraviolet B (UVB) therapy within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1
- Severe and/or extensive scalp psoriasis which, in the opinion of the investigator, requires treatment with potent or super-potent corticosteroids which will be prohibited during the trial
For subjects participating in HPA-axis testing furthermore:
- Antidepressive medications within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the trial. Oestrogen therapy (including contraceptives), antidepressant medications and any other medication known to affect cortisol levels or HPA axis integrity within 4 weeks prior to baseline |
