Psoriasis Clinical Trial

Pediatric Study in Children and Adolescents With Severe Plaque Psoriasis

Summary

This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled (etanercept in single blinded arm) study in pediatric subjects aged 6 years to less than 18 years with severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Approximately 160 subjects aged 6 years to <18 years were enrolled, of which at least 30 were 6 years to <12 years old. Subjects were enrolled at approximately 70 study sites worldwide.

Full Description

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superior efficacy of secukinumab versus placebo at Week 12, based on both PASI 75 and IGA mod 2011 0 or 1 response rates in children and adolescents aged 6 to less than 18 years with severe chronic plaque psoriasis who had inadequate control of symptoms with topical treatment, or failed to respond to or tolerate previous systemic treatment and/or UV therapy

The study assessed the long term safety and tolerability of secukinumab in this pediatric age group and described the efficacy and safety of secukinumab compared to etanercept. This study provided efficacy and safety data to support the extension of label of secukinumab to include children and adolescents (6 years to <18 years) with severe chronic plaque psoriasis

Two age subgroups were studied in a staggered approach within this clinical study: 12 to less than 18 years of age, and 6 to less than 12 years of age . Enrolment of children aged 6 to less than 12 years began after a favorable recommendation by an independent external Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) who reviewed data of approximately 80 adolescents. Adolescents continued to be recruited while the data from the first 80 subjects was being collected and analyzed

Subjects were randomized using a 1:1:1:1 ratio into one of the treatment arms: secukinumab low dose, secukinumab high dose, etanercept or placebo. Subjects randomized to secukinumab treatment arms (high dose and low dose) received dose based on the weight category (<25 kg, 25 to <50kg, ≥50 kg).

The study consisted of 5 periods: screening (up to 4 weeks), induction (of 12 weeks), maintenance (of 40 weeks), extension treatment epoch (open-label of 184 weeks) and post- treatment follow-up epoch (of 16 weeks).

The primary objectiove of the study was to demonstrate the superiority of secukinumab (low and high dose) in pediatric subjects with severe chronic plaque psoriasis with respect to both PASI 75 and IGA mod 2011 0 or 1 response (co-primary endpoints) at Week 12, compared to placebo.

Severe plaque-type psoriasis meeting all of the following three criteria:

PASI score of 20 or greater,
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 4
Total body surface area (BSA) affected of 10% or greater.

Patient being regarded by the investigator to be a candidate for systemic therapy because of:
