- Psoriasis VulgarisPsoriasis
- Interventions
- Drug: placebo ointment (vehicle)
- Registration Number
- NCT01831466
- Lead Sponsor
- Pfizer
- Brief Summary
The study is beng done to test if tofacitinib ointment is safe and effective for people with plaque psoriasis. Two dose strengths of tofacitinib ointment (20 mg/g and 10 mg/g) applied once or twice daily are being tested. The safety and effectiveness of tofacitinib ointment used for 12 weeks will be compared to the safety and effectiveness of placebo ointment (vehicle) used for 12 weeks.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants Achieving a PGA-C Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 12 Baseline, Week 12 Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (erythema \[E\], induration \[I\], and scaling \[S\]) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. The PGA-C was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment. The PGA subscores are then summed and averaged after which the total average was rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the PGA-C score and category. A higher score indicated a higher level of severity. 0 is equal to (=) cleared except for any residual discoloration and 1=almost clear, majority of lesions had individual scores for E+I+S that when summed, averaged, and rounded equaled 1.
Percentage of Participants Achieving a PGA-C Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and ≥2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 8 Baseline, Week 8 Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (E, I, and S) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. The PGA-C was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment. The PGA subscores are then summed and averaged after which the total average was rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the PGA-C score and category. A higher score indicated a higher level of severity. 0 is equal to (=) cleared except for any residual discoloration and 1=almost clear, majority of lesions had individual scores for E+I+S that when summed, averaged, and rounded equaled 1.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Clinic-Based ISI Scores Baseline, Week 8 The severity of itch (pruritus) due to psoriasis was assessed using the ISI. Participants were asked to assess their "worst itching due to psoriasis over the past 24 hours" on a numeric rating scale anchored by the terms "no itching" (0) and "worst possible itching" (10) at the ends. Participants completed the ISI assessments at the clinic (i.e., clinic-based).
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 8 in PASI Baseline, Week 8 Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 regions: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each region, percent area of skin involved was estimated: 0=0% to 6=90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, scaling; scale: 0=none to 4=maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each region\*area score\*weight of region (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0=no disease to 72=maximal disease. The maximum PASI score was \<72 since the PASI assessment excluded scalp, palms, finger nails, soles, and toe nails.
Percentage of Participants Achieving a PGA-C Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) at Week 12 Week 12 Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (E, I, and S) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. The PGA-C was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment. The PGA subscores are then summed and averaged after which the total average was rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the PGA-C score and category. A higher score indicated a higher level of severity. 0 is equal to (=) cleared except for any residual discoloration and 1=almost clear, majority of lesions had individual scores for E+I+S that when summed, averaged, and rounded equaled 1.
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Gestalt Physician's Global Assessment (PGA-G) Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and ≥2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 12 Baseline, Week 12 Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (E, I and S) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. After scoring each of the PGA subscores, a clinical evaluator of psoriasis performed an assessment of the overall severity of psoriasis and assigned a PGA-G score and category. 0=Clear, except for any residual discoloration (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and/or hypopigmentation) and 1=almost clear, the psoriasis is not entirely cleared and remaining plaques are light pink (not including post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), and/or have barely palpable elevation and/or have occasional fine scale. The PGA-G was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment.

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Baseline, Week 12 Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 regions: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each region, percent (%) area of skin involved was estimated: 0=0% to 6=90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, scaling; scale: 0=none to 4=maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each region\*area score\*weight of region (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0=no disease to 72=maximal disease. The maximum PASI score was \<72 since the PASI assessment excluded scalp, palms, finger nails, soles, and toe nails.
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected With Psoriasis Baseline, Week 12 Assessment of BSA with psoriasis was performed separately for 4 body regions: head and neck, upper limbs, trunk (including axillae and groin), and lower limbs (including buttocks). The percent surface area with psoriasis was estimated by means of the handprint method, where the full palmar hand of the participant represents approximately 1% of the total BSA. The number of handprints of psoriatic skin in a body region can be used to determine the extent (%) to which a body regions is involved with psoriasis. BSA (%)=the sum of the BSAs of the 4 body regions. BSA assessment excluded head and neck, palms, finger nails, soles and toe nails.

The PGA-G was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment.
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score Baseline, Week 12 DLQI is the dermatology-specific quality of life measure used for psoriatic population. The 10-item questionnaire assesses participant health-related quality of life (daily activities, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, leisure, work and school, and treatment). The DLQI questions are rated by the participant as 0 (not at all/not relevant) to 3 (very much) with a total score range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst); higher scores indicate poor quality of life.
Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 75% Reduction in PASI Response (PASI75), Relative to Baseline at Week 12 Baseline, Week 12 Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 regions: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each region, percent area of skin involved was estimated: 0=0% to 6=90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, scaling; scale: 0=none to 4=maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each region\*area score\*weight of region (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0=no disease to 72=maximal disease. The maximum PASI score was \<72 since the PASI assessment excluded scalp, palms, finger nails, soles, and toe nails.
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Patient's Global Assessment (PtGA) Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and ≥2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 12 for Participants With a PtGA Score ≥2 at Baseline Baseline, Week 12 The PtGA asks the participant to evaluate the overall cutaneous disease at that point in time on a single item, 5-point scale (0=clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe).
