Brief summary
W11-050 is a Mexican open label multicenter study that has been designed to further assess the safety and efficacy of adalimumab in the treatment of patients with active plaque psoriasis who have failed prior conventional systemic psoriasis treatment or who are candidates for systemic therapy.
Detailed description
Up to 150 subjects having a diagnosis of active plaque psoriasis and fulfilling the study eligibility criteria were enrolled in Mexico. Adalimumab was administered as follows: 80 mg at baseline, followed by 40 mg every other week (eow; starting at week 1 until week 15). The study drug was self administered via subcutaneous (sc) injection. Safety and efficacy measures were performed throughout the study.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to determine the groups of participants who were overweight and who were considered obese. A BMI of 18.5 to 25 was considered normal range, 25 to 30 as overweight and 30 and above as obesity, in both men and women. Response to treatment in participants with obesity (based on Body Mass Index) versus those without obesity was assessed via PASI-75 response (see Outcome Measure 1 for details) and DLQI score of \<6 (see Outcome Measure 3 for details).

Percentage of Obese vs. Non-obese (Per Waist-Hip Ratio) Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)-75 Response and a Total Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score of <6 at Week 16
The Waist-Hip Ratio was used to determine the groups of participants who were overweight and who were considered obese. Obesity was defined as a ratio of \>1 for men and \>0.8 for women. Response to treatment in participants with obesity (based on Waist-Hip Ratio) versus those without obesity was assessed via PASI-75 response (see Outcome Measure 1 for details) and DLQI score of \<6 (see Outcome Measure 3 for details).

Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)-50, 90, 100 Responses at Week 16
PASI is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). PASI-50, 90, and 100 responses are the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 50%, 90%, or 100% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score at Week 4. 100% reduction was considered complete clearance of psoriasis.
Time frame: Week 16
Population: ITT population. Participants with missing scores were considered nonresponders.

Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) at Week 16
The PGA is a 7-point scale used to measure the severity of disease at the time of the physician's evaluation of the participant. Categories are as follows: Severe = very marked plaque elevation, scaling, and/or erythema; Moderate to severe = marked plaque elevation, scaling, and/or erythema; Moderate = moderate plaque elevation, scaling, and/or erythema; Mild to moderate = intermediate between moderate and mild; Mild = slight plaque elevation, scaling, and/or erythema; Almost clear = intermediate between mild and clear; Clear = no signs of psoriasis (post-inflammatory hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation could be present). The number of participants who achieve a PGA of 'clear' or 'almost clear' at Week 16 was a secondary outcome measure in this study.
