A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Apremilast (AMG 407) in Japanese Subjects With Palmoplantar Pustulosis (PPP)

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least a 50% Reduction From Baseline in Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) Total Score (PPPASI-50) at Week 16

时间窗: Baseline and Week 16

A PPPASI 50 response is defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in PPPASI total score from baseline. The PPPASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity (in terms of erythema, pustules/vesicle and desquamation/scale) and area of PPP lesions and their response to therapy. The PPPASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with a higher score indicating more severe disease. Participants who discontinued investigational product before week 16 due to lack of efficacy, adverse event, or use of protocol-prohibited medication (intercurrent events) were to be considered as treatment failures as the result of the intercurrent event and the PPPASI-50 values for visits on and after the intercurrent event were imputed as non-responders. The missing PPPASI-50 values due to the other reasons were imputed using the multiple imputation method.
