简要总结
Prospective open label non-randomized study, using Apremilast according to the manufacturer's Summary of Product Characteristics for 52 weeks, in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and nail psoriasis The study will be carried out in two hospital centers with experience in the management of patients with psoriasis and in the use of ultrasound of the nail apparatus. Visits and ultrasound would be performed by prescribing doctors themselves in their outpatient offices. Prior to the start of the study, the two doctors of each center will conduct a study to see the intraobserver and interobserver agreement on the ecographic parameters. The medication would be dispensed and controlled in the centers themselves and self-administered by patients at home. Each visit includes a ultrasound assessment of a target nail and measures of different scales: NAPSI, NAPPA.
详细描述
Primary objective:
- Determine the percentage of patients with at least a 20% improvement over the baseline visit of the NAPPA-PBI scale in weeks 4, 16, 24, 38 and 52.
Secondary objectives:
- Determine the percentage of improvement with respect to the baseline visit of the NAPPA QoL and CLIN scale in weeks 4, 16, 24, 38 and 52
- Determine the percentage of patients, regarding baseline visit, who reach a NAPSI 50 and changes in the NAPSI scale, in weeks 4, 16, 24, 38 and 52
- Determine the percentage of improvement or change of the nail ultrasound variables with respect to the baseline visit in weeks 4, 16, 24, 38 and 52
- Explore the possible correlation between clinical (NAPSI / NAPPA-Clin) and ultrasound variables before and after treatment
- Determine the percentage of patients with sonographic signs of enthesopathy of the distal interphalangeal joint before and after treatment
- Determine differences in clinical and sonographic parameters before treatment in good responders (NAPSI 50) compared to non-responders

结局指标
主要结局
Questionnaire: NAPPA- PBI changes
时间窗: first visit and week 4, 16, 24, 38 and 52
Nail assessment in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (NAPPA) is a modular instrument for the assessment of clinical and patient-reported outcomes in nail psoriasis. NAPPA comprises three components: NAPPA-QOL measuring nail-specific quality of life, NAPPA-PBI reflecting patient-relevant needs and treatment benefits, NAPPA-CLIN recording objective nail status. NAPPA-PBI questionnaire is a 24-item questionnaire which assesses patient-defined needs before and patient-rated benefits after treatment. The answers are given in Likert scales from 0 to 4, and a global score is calculated based on the importance-weighted benefit items. The principle of PBI is an advanced mode of goal attainment scaling with standardized goal items. range from 0 to 96. Higher values represent a better outcome.
