Clinical Trial Name - Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Study of Etanercept in the Treatment of Psori

 
Original Study ID : 20021630
NCT ID : NCT00317499
Brief Title : Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Study of Etanercept in the Treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis and Psoriasis
Brief Summary :

This was a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter study in subjects with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis comprising 3 periods: a 24-week double-blind period, a ≤ 24-week maintenance period, and a 48-week open-label period. During the double-blind period, subjects were randomized equally to 1 of 2 regimens: etanercept 25 mg twice weekly (BIW) or placebo, administered subcutaneously (SC). After the week 24 visit, subjects continued on blind-labeled therapy in a maintenance period until all subjects completed the double-blind period. After the maintenance period, all subjects received open-label etanercept 25 mg BIW.

Detailed Description :

Previously presented data from 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (Protocols 016.0612 [Investigator IND] and 016.0030 [Immunex IND]) led to the approval of etanercept for reducing clinical signs and symptoms of PsA. One-year radiographic data from Protocol 20021630 led to an additional approval of etanercept for inhibiting structural progression in PsA. Data are used for the following purposes: - To summarize the clinical efficacy and safety results previously described in the 6-month clinical study report and the radiographic results previously described in the 1-year clinical study report. - To show the effect of etanercept on physical function in subjects with PsA and psoriasis, as measured by 2 patient-reported outcome measures (disability index of the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ] and Medical Outcomes Study Short-form Health Survey [SF-36]). • To present the radiographic results at 2 years from baseline and the final clinical efficacy and safety results during the open-label period of the study.

Trial Eligibility
Criteria :
Inclusion Criteria: Subjects had to satisfy the following criteria before randomization
into the study:

- Active PsA at the time of screening, including ≥ 3 swollen joints and ≥ 3
tender/painful joints. • Had ≥ 1 of the following subtypes of PsA: distal
interphalangeal (DIP) involvement; polyarticular arthritis (absence of rheumatoid
nodules and presence of psoriasis); arthritis mutilans; asymmetric peripheral
arthritis; or ankylosing spondylitis-like.

- Arthritis had demonstrated an inadequate response to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory
drug (NSAID) therapy.

- Subjects had plaque psoriasis with qualifying target lesion. Target lesion was to be ≥
2 cm in diameter and could not be on the scalp, axilla, or groin. Psoriasis was to be
stable (ie, not accelerating).

- Between 18 and 70 years of age. • Subjects remaining on concomitant MTX (≤ 25 mg/week)
had inadequate disease control in the opinion of the investigator and had been on a
stable dose of MTX for 2 months before start of investigational product. Subjects were
required to maintain a stable dose of MTX throughout the study.

- Negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days before the first dose of investigational
product in all women (except those surgically sterile or ≥ 5 years postmenopausal).

- Heterosexually active men and women of childbearing potential agreed to use a
medically accepted form of contraception throughout the study, including the
exclusionary medicine washout period and follow-up period.

- Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and serum alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2 times
laboratory's upper limit of normal; hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL; platelet count ≥
125,000/mm3; white blood cell count ≥ 3,500 cells/mm3; and serum creatinine ≤ 2
mg/dL.

- Negative HIV test. Negative test for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C.

- Able to reconstitute and self-inject investigational product or have a designee who
could do so.

- Capable of understanding and giving written, voluntary informed consent. Exclusion
Criteria:

- Guttate or pustular psoriasis. • Evidence of skin conditions (eg, eczema) other than
psoriasis that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of study medication on
psoriasis.

- Active severe infection within 1 month of investigational product administration.

- Subjects must be off antibiotics for 1 week before investigational product
administration.

- Previous receipt of etanercept, known antibody to TNF, or experimental
metalloproteinase inhibitors (past or current use of minocycline and doxycycline was
acceptable).

- Receipt of investigational drugs or biologics within 4 weeks of the screening visit.

- Receipt of anti-CD4 or diptheria IL-2 fusion protein within the previous 6 months,
with a subsequent abnormal absolute T cell count.

- Psoralen ultraviolet A phototherapy (PUVA) within 4 weeks of investigational product
initiation. Ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy within 2 weeks of investigational product
initiation.

- Receipt of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) other than MTX (eg,
hydroxycholorquine, oral or injectable gold, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine,
azathioprine, D-penicillamine, or sulfasalazine) or intra-articular corticosteroids
within 4 weeks before the first dose of investigational product.

- Dose of NSAID greater than the maximum recommended dose in the product information.
NSAID dose had to be stable for ≥ 4 weeks before screening evaluation.

- Concomitant corticosteroids > 10 mg/day of prednisone (or its equivalent).
Corticosteroid dose had to be stable for ≥ 4 weeks before screening evaluation.

- Topical steroids, oral retinoids, topical vitamin A or D analog preparations or
anthralin within 14 days of baseline. (Exception: Topical therapies were permitted on
scalp, axillae, and groin but had to be stable throughout trial.) • Pregnancy or
lactation in women. • Significant concurrent medical diseases including:

- Diabetes mellitus requiring insulin

- Uncompensated congestive heart failure

- Myocardial infarction within 12 months of screening visit

- Unstable or stable angina pectoris

- Uncontrolled hypertension

- Severe pulmonary disease (requiring medical or oxygen therapy)

- History of cancer (other than resected cutaneous basal or squamous cell carcinoma
or in situ cervical cancer) within 5 years of screening visit

- HIV positive, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C positive

- Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, scleroderma, or polymyositis

- Any condition judged by the subject's physician that would cause this study to be
detrimental to the subject

- Current or history of psychiatric disease that would interfere with ability to comply
with the study protocol or give informed consent.

- History of alcohol or drug abuse that would interfere with ability to comply with the
study protocol.
