Efficacy and Safety Study of Apremilast (CC-10004) in Subjects With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque-Type Psoriasis (Core Study)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study was to test if the drug apremilast was safe, if it helped improve psoriasis, and how well the participants tolerated it.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study fully explored the extent of treatment benefit achieved with doses of apremilast up to 30 mg by mouth (PO) twice daily (BID) with treatment duration for up to 6 months. In addition, it was important to determine the minimally effective dose for apremilast and more fully elucidate the dose response curve in this patient population. The results from this study helped guide the selection of the dose in the phase 3 trials. Participants meeting eligibility criteria at the Baseline Visit (Week 0) were centrally randomized with the use of a permuted-block randomization list, with equal allocation to each of the four treatment arms: 10 mg, 20 mg or 30 mg PO BID of apremilast or placebo. In an effort to mitigate the dose-dependent adverse effects of apremilast (e.g., headache or gastrointestinal disturbances), participants had their dose titrated over a 7-day period (Days 1 through7). Participants received 10 mg PO BID of apremilast or identically-appearing placebo during Days 1 to 2. Participants randomized to the 10 mg BID dose continued taking this dose throughout the treatment phase of the study. Those participants randomized to the 20 mg BID dose were dose titrated to 20 mg PO BID of apremilast or identically-appearing placebo during Days 3 to 4 of dosing. Participants randomized to the 20 mg BID dose continued taking this dose throughout the treatment phase of the study. Those participants randomized to the 30 mg BID dose were dose titrated to 30 mg PO BID of apremilast or identically-appearing placebo during Days 5 to 7 and continued taking this dose throughout the treatment phase of the study. At Week 16, all participants originally randomized to the placebo arm were re-randomized to 20 mg BID or 30 mg BID of apremilast. All participants (i.e., those that were continuing their Apremilast dosing regimen, as well as those that were switched from placebo to apremilast) received drug at Week 16 in a treatment arm in a blinded fashion. In addition, participants who transitioned from placebo to active medication at Week 16 completed a dose titration schedule to help mitigate any potential GI side effects that may have jeopardized the blinding of the treatment arms. At Week 24 (end of core study and beginning of an extension study), participants were given the option to enroll into an extension study (PSOR-005E NCT00953875) and continue on the same apremilast dosage they had received at the end of the core study, during Weeks 24-52, a total of 28 weeks. Participants who elected not to enter into the treatment extension study, completed a 4-week observational follow-up phase of the core study. At Week 52 (end of extension study and beginning of a long-term extension study), participants were given the option to enroll into a long term extension study (PSOR-005LTE NCT01130116), for 4 additional years. Participants who were treated with apremilast 10 mg BID in the extension study were randomly assigned and dose titrated to either apremilast 20 mg BID or 30 mg BID. Participants who were dosed with 20mg or 30 mg BID in the extension study continued to receive the same dose in the long-term extension study. The long-term extension study is anticipated to complete in May 2016.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Core Study: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a 75% Improvement (Response) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) at Week 16 | PASI-75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 16.

PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. Erythema, thickness, and scaling are scored on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (very severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement). | Week 0 and Week 16 |

The investigator examined all of the lesions on the participant and assigned a score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema and degree of scaling. Scores for thickness, erythema and scaling are then summed and the mean of these 3 scores equaled the overall sPGA score. Fractional values for the sPGA were rounded to the next highest integer (eg, a score of 3.5 was rounded to 4, 3.4 was rounded to 3). | Week 0 to Week 196 |
