Brief summary
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a comorbidity that affects a significant proportion of participants with moderate or severe psoriasis. The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of patients with moderate or severe plaque psoriasis (Ps) in Colombia and to evaluate adalimumab efficacy and safety profile.
Detailed description
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting 1% to 3% of the population worldwide. A significant portion (5%-40%) of participants with psoriasis develop PsA, a chronic inflammatory arthritis that causes progressive joint damage, reduced functionality and increased mortality risk. Skin disease typically manifests before arthritis in more than 80% of PsA participants, and psoriasis symptoms usually precede joint symptoms by an average of 10 years. Participants with psoriasis who have comorbid PsA incur substantially increased cost of care and experience greater impairment of physical functioning and quality of life compared with participants with psoriasis alone.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participants Who Developed Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | A participant is said to have PsA if they meet the following criteria: 1. PsA defined by a rheumatologist; or 2. A participant with inflamed joints \>0 and CASPAR score \>=3; or 3. Participant meeting at least one of the two previous definitions. |
| Percentage of Participants Who Developed Signs or Symptoms of PsA | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | Signs or symptoms were defined as mentioning at the rheumatologist visit any joint symptoms prior to or during the visit or a total number of inflamed joints greater than 0. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participants With Comorbidities Who Did or Did Not Develop PsA | Baseline up to Visit 4 (month 12) | Percentage of participants with comorbidities (metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, alcohol and other associated comorbidities) was assessed. |
| Mean Change in Quality of Life (QoL) | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | The Short Form-36 was a self-reported questionnaire used to measure the QoL of participants in eight main health dimensions (physical functioning; bodily pain; role limitations due to physical health, personal, and emotional problems; emotional well-being; social functioning; vitality; and general health perception). The score from each health dimension was added together for a QoL score on a scale of 0 - 100; a higher score indicated a better QoL. |
| Mean Change in ClASsification Criteria for Psoriatic ARthritis (CASPAR) Score | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | The CASPAR criteria permits the diagnosis of PsA in spite of low rheumatoid factor positivity. To be classified as having PsA, a participant must have inflammatory articular disease (joint, spine, entheseal) with greater than or equal to 3 of the following 5 points: evidence of psoriasis (current, history of, or family history of); psoriatic nail dystrophy; a negative RF test result; dactylitis (history of or current); and radiographic evidence of juxa-articular new bone formation. Only current psoriasis (2 points) was weighted more heavily than the other features (1 point). CASPER scores range from 1 to 6, with 6 indicating a more definitive diagnosis of PsA. |
| Percentage of Participants With a CASPAR Score Greater Than or Equal to 3 at Each Visit to the Rheumatologist | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | The CASPAR criteria permits the diagnosis of PsA in spite of low rheumatoid factor positivity. To be classified as having PsA, a participant must have inflammatory articular disease (joint, spine, entheseal) with greater than or equal to 3 of the following 5 points: evidence of psoriasis (current, history of, or family history of); psoriatic nail dystrophy; a negative RF test result; dactylitis (history of or current); and radiographic evidence of juxa-articular new bone formation. Only current psoriasis (2 points) was weighted more heavily than the other features (1 point). |
| Mean Time to First Occurrence of PsA Signs or Symptoms | Baseline up to Visit 4 (month 12) | The measure of time from Psoriasis diagnosis to the appearance of PsA signs or symptoms. |
| Percentage of Participants With Joint Symptoms | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | Joint symptoms were evaluated by presence or absence of peripheral arthritis, morning stiffness and participant reported joint symptoms. |
| Incidence Rate of PsA Since Psoriasis Diagnosis | Baseline up to Visit 4 (month 12) | The number of new PsA cases were determined by: 1. PsA defined by a rheumatologist; or 2. A participant with inflamed joints \>0 and CASPAR score \>=3; or 3. Participant meeting at least one of the two previous definitions occurring over person time (defined as the overall sum of Psoriasis disease duration without PsA). |
| Change in the Subject Proportion That Achieved a PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) Reduction of ≥50% | At Baseline, Week 24, and Week 48 | This outcome measure was not calculated. |
| Percentage of Participants With Swollen Joint Count (SJC) and Tender Joint Count (TJC) Greater Than Zero | At Baseline, Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | Pressure and joint manipulation by physical examination on 68 or 66 joints or regions (34 or 32 per body side, hip joints excluded) were assessed for TJC or SJC, respectively. Both joint tenderness and swelling were classified as present (1), absent (0), replaced (9), or no assessment (NA). The total TJC or SJC was derived as the sum of the tender and swollen joints; the range for TJC and SJC was 0 - 68 and 0 - 66, respectively; with higher scores indicating worse conditions. |
| Mean Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score | At Baseline, Visit 2 (month 2), Visit 3 (month 6) and Visit 4 (month 12) | The PASI score was used to measure the severity of psoriasis. It combined the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). |
