简要总结
Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic recurrent skin condition characterized by the presence of pustules, erythema and hyperkeratosis on palms and soles. PPP can be a severe and disabling disease limiting the ability to walk or work. Although studies on the quality of life of patients with PPP are not available, a recent investigation showed that palmoplantar psoriasis (non pustular) has a more important impact on quality of life than plaque psoriasis. This important impact on quality of life is not surprising as palmoplantar psoriasis as well as palmoplantar pustulosis may limit the ability to work or conduct activities with hands or even impair walking. The disease is sometimes associated with psoriasis elsewhere on the body. Current treatments for PPP include topical corticosteroids, cyclosporine, PUVA therapy, methotrexate and acitretin. Response to topical corticosteroids and PUVA therapy is often disappointing presumably because the thickness of the stratum corneum on palms and soles prevents good penetration of topical medications and light. Cyclosporine and methotrexate are sometimes used with success for PPP but there are concerns with long term toxicity of both drugs. Therefore there is a need for new treatments for PPP.
详细描述
This is a placebo-controlled double blind study. Patients will be randomized to receive etanercept versus placebo in a 2:1 fashion for the first 3 months. All patients will receive etanercept in the last 3 months.
Patients with active PPP will be included. A washout of 4 weeks for systemic medications and 2 weeks for Psoralen Ultra Violet A (PUVA) therapy will be required. A washout period of 2 weeks will be required for all other topical medications. The Palmoplantar pustulosis severity index (PPPASI) will be used to evaluate severity. Only patients with a severity score of 8 or more on hands and/or feet will be included. Safety will be assessed by performing physical examinations, evaluation of adverse events and biological parameters (complete blood count (CBC), chemistry, urinalysis).
High quality digital medical photographs will be taken at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage Change in Palmoplantar Pustulosis Severity Index (PPPASI) Before Crossover
时间窗: 12 weeks
Comparison of the percentage change in Palmoplantar pustulosis severity index PPPASI) at 12 weeks in patients treated with placebo or etanercept PPPASI = (E + I + D)Area X 0.2 (R palm) + (E + I + D) Area X 0.2 (L palm) + (E + I + D) Area X 0.3 (R sole) + (E + I + D) Area X 0.3 (L sole). Erythema, pustules and desquamation are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 4 while area is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 6. The PPPASI score can vary from 0 (absence of disease) to 72 (most severe palmoplantar psoriasis possible).
次要结局
- Number of Adverse Events(28 weeks)
- Percentage Change in Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI)(24 weeks)
