A Study of JNJ-77242113 for the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Plaque Psoriasis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05357755
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of an oral tablet formulation of JNJ-77242113 compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Detailed Description

The population of people living with moderate to severe psoriasis is approximately 3.5 billion who are mostly managed with topical and conventional therapies. JNJ-77242113, investigational drug, targets the immune responses in the body and skin which impacts diseases, such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and this study evaluates JNJ-77242113 as options of advanced therapies in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The hypothesis of this study is that an oral tablet formulation of JNJ-77242113 will result in superior efficacy compared with placebo as determined by the percentage of participants achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 (greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 75 percentage \[%\] improvement in PASI) (PASI 75) response at Week 16. The total duration of this study is up to 24 weeks which includes a screening period of less than or equal to (\<=) 4 weeks, a 16-week placebo- controlled treatment period, and a follow-up visit approximately 4 weeks after the last administration of study intervention. Safety assessments include adverse events (AEs) monitoring, clinical safety laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, physical examinations, concomitant medication monitoring, pregnancy testing, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and tuberculosis evaluations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75 Score at Week 16Week 16

Percentage of participants achieving PASI 75 score (greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 75 percentage \[%\] improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 will be reported. The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: head, trunk, upper, and lower extremities. Each of these areas is assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 (indicates no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement), and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to Week 24

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An adverse event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention.

Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to Week 24

SAE is an adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product or medically important.

Change from Baseline in PASI Total Score at Week 16Baseline and Week 16

Change from baseline in PASI total score at Week 16 will be reported. The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: head, trunk, upper, and lower extremities. Each of these areas is assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 (indicates no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement), and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.

Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 90 Score at Week 16Week 16

Percentage of participants achieving PASI 90 score (\>=90% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 will be reported. The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: head, trunk, upper, and lower extremities. Each of these areas is assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 (indicates no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement), and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.

Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 100 Score at Week 16Week 16

Percentage of participants achieving PASI 100 score (100% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 will be reported. The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: head, trunk, upper, and lower extremities. Each of these areas is assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 (indicates no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement), and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.

Percentage of Participants Achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) at Week 16Week 16

Percentage of participants achieving an IGA score of cleared (0) or minimal (1) at Week 16 will be reported. The IGA documents the investigator's assessment of the participants psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).

Percentage of Participants Achieving an IGA Score of Cleared (0) at Week 16Week 16

Percentage of participants achieving an IGA score of cleared (0) at Week 16 will be reported. The IGA documents the investigator's assessment of the participants psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).

Change from Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16

Change from baseline in BSA at Week 16 will be reported. BSA is a commonly used measure of extent of skin disease. It is defined as the percentage of surface area of the body involved with the condition being assessed (that is, plaque psoriasis).
