Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Remission maintenance period (the period from taking Apremilast until relapse)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Questionnaire survey 1)Percentage of patients wishing to discontinue treatment with biological products (%) 2)Cross tabulation of the results of the questionnaire survey Remission maintenance therapy that adding study drug to topical therapy 1)The changes in the following index scores are evaluated by comparing the changes over time. (1) PASI (2) BSA (3) DLQI (4) ACR evaluation (TJC, SJC) *In the case of combined psoriatic arthritis (5) Enthesitis (6)HAQ-DI (7) PGA / sPGA (8) IGA (9) NAPSI (10) scPGA (11) PSSI 2) PASI score increase from baseline Compare and evaluate the rate of increase from baseline (PASI score before biologic administration) at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. 3) TSQM (treatment satisfaction survey) TSQM-9 Japanese version is used for evaluation. 4) Relationship between transition of serum LRG/CRP concentration and relapse Consider based on the relationship between serum LRG/CRP concentration and transition of symptoms. 5) Safety Confirm adverse events, diseases, etc.
