Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared with secukinumab for the treatment of adult subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis for at least 6 months before the Baseline Visit
- •Subject has stable moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis
- •Subject must be a candidate for systemic therapy as assessed by the investigator;
- •Subject must be an acceptable candidate to receive secukinumab according to the local label for this compound.
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of erythrodermic psoriasis, generalized or localized pustular psoriasis, medication-induced or medication-exacerbated psoriasis, or new onset guttate psoriasis; or active skin disease other than psoriasis that could interfere with the assessment of psoriasis;
- •Chronic infections including HIV, viral hepatitis (hepatitis B, hepatitis C), and/ or active tuberculosis. Subjects with a positive QuantiFERON®-TB/purified protein derivative (PPD) test result may participate in the study if further work up (according to local practice/guidelines) establishes conclusively that the subject has no evidence of active tuberculosis. If presence of latent tuberculosis is established, then treatment must have been initiated and maintained according to local country guidelines.
- •Active systemic infection during the last 2 weeks prior to Baseline Visit (exception: common cold)
- •History of any documented active or suspected malignancy or history of any malignancy within the last 5 years except for successfully treated non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- •Previous exposure to risankizumab
- •Previous exposure to secukinumab
Arms & Interventions
Risankizumab
Participants randomized to risankizumab receive 2 injections of active risankizumab (150 mg total dosage) subcutaneously (SC) at Weeks 0 and 4, and then every 12 weeks (q12w) thereafter until the last dose at Week 40 (Week 64 for participants in France).
Intervention: risankizumab
Secukinumab
Participants randomized to secukinumab receive 2 injections of active secukinumab (300 mg total dosage) SC at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then every 4 weeks (q4w) thereafter until the last dose at Week 48.
Intervention: secukinumab
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With a 90% Reduction From Baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI 90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline \* 100. Non-responder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.
Percentage of Participants With a PASI 90 at Week 52
Time Frame: Week 52
The PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI 90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline \* 100.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants With a 100% Reduction From Baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 100) at Week 52(Week 52)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 52(Week 52)
- Percentage of Participants With a 75% Reduction From Baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) at Week 52(Week 52)
