Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this trial was to investigate the safety and efficacy of BI 655130 in patients with PPP following multiple intravenous administrations of either low dose or high dose of BI 655130 compared with placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only patients that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All patients were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all patients was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomized after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one dose of the trial medication.

    		 Percentage of participants with palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 50 (PPPASI50) at week 16
    End point description
    ppPASI is modification of PASI score and investigator assessment of extent and severity of pustular and plaque lesions on the palms and soles presenting in PPP participants. This tool provides numeric scoring for participants overall PPP disease state, ranging from 0 to maximum 72, where 0 corresponds to no signs of psoriasis. It is a linear combination of the percent of surface area of skin that is affected on the palms and soles and the severity of Erythema(E), Pustules(P)(total), and scaling(Desquamation(D)). Missing values for severity or area of involvement were not imputed. ppPASI was calculated as a weighted sum of the scores obtained for E,P,D and Area affected(%)(where area assessed is glabrous skin on palms/soles)(A):[(E+P+D)xAx0.2(right palm)]+[(E+P+D)xAx0.2(left palm)]+[(E+P+D)xAx0.3(right sole)]+[(E+P+D)xAx0.3(left sole)].

    Percentage of participants who achieved >75% reduction in ppPASI score was assessed by ppPASI75. ppPASI is modification of PASI score and an investigator assessment of the extent and severity of pustular and plaque lesions on the palms and soles presenting in PPP participants. This tool provides a numeric scoring for participants overall PPP disease state, ranging from 0 to maximum 72, where 0 corresponds to no signs of psoriasis. It is a linear combination of the percent of surface area of skin that is affected on the palms and soles and the severity of Erythema (E), Pustules (P) (total), and scaling (Desquamation (D)). Missing values for severity or area of involvement were not imputed. ppPASI was calculated as a weighted sum of the scores obtained for E, P, D and Area affected (in%) (where area assessed is glabrous skin on the palms/ soles) (A): [(E+P+D) x A x 0.2 (right palm)] + [(E+P+D) x A x 0.2 (left palm)] + [(E+P+D) x A x 0.3 (right sole)] + [(E+P+D) x A x 0.3 (left sole)].

    		 Percentage of participants achieving treatment success (treatment success defined as achieving a clinical response of 0 or 1=clear/almost clear) via Palmoplantar Pustulosis Physicians Global Assessment (pppPGA) at week 16
    End point description
    pppPGA was relied on the participant’s overall skin lesions status on the lesions of the most severely affected palmoplantar surface of the palms and sole was assessed by investigator as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3) and severe (4) at week 16. Score Wording were: 0 = Clear = No signs of PPP; no scaling or crusts or pustule remains. 1 = Almost clear = Slight scaling and/or erythema and / or slight crusts; very few new (yellow) and / or old (brown) pustules. 2 = Mild = Scaling and/or erythema and/or crusts; visible new (yellow) and/or old (brown) pustules of limited number and extent. 3 =Moderate = Prominent scaling and/or erythema and / or crusting; prominent new (yellow) and / or old (brown) pustules covering most of the area involved. 4 =Severe = Severe scaling and/or erythema and / or crusting; numerous new (yellow) or old (brown) pustules with and/or without major conflence covering the entire area of at least 2 palmoplantar surfaces.
