Brief summary

To compare the effectiveness, safety (tolerability), and duration of treatment response at 12 weeks of home versus office-based narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety (tolerability), and duration of treatment response at 12 weeks of home versus office-based narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis. Physician Global Assessment (PGA) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) will be used to assess effectiveness, safety (tolerability), and duration of treatment response. This is a three year pragmatic, randomized, active comparator effectiveness study.

Interventions

DEVICEDaavlin 7 series 3 panel narrow band phototherapy home units

Daavlin 7 series 3 panel narrow band phototherapy home units (with 8-12 bulbs and a smaller, flat surface with door, measuring 21 wide, 74.5 tall, and 23.5). This unit is a class II device with a FDA 510K indication for psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis/eczema. The unit will have a dosimetry controller, a UV sensor built in that measures the intensity of the light. This sensor will adjust the treatment time to compensate for any variation in output due to aging of the lamps or other factors

Inclusion criteria

1. Willing and able to provide informed consent (age 18+) or parental permission and assent (ages 12-17) 2. Age 12 or older 3. Plaque or guttate psoriasis predominantly located on trunk and/or extremities, with a physician global assessment average of \>1.0, and considered a candidate for phototherapy 4. Patient is deemed willing and able to comply with either in-office or in-home phototherapy: 1. In office: Able to travel about 3 times per week for 12 weeks from home, work and/or school during business hours of local site 2. In home: Has space to accommodate home phototherapy unit and patient (or if 12-17, parent), willing and able to follow home phototherapy instructions 5. New or established patient in the practice

Exclusion criteria

1. Patients who are judged unable or unwilling to comply with either in office or in home phototherapy due to time, work, school, or other financial constraints 2. Patients judged unable to follow home phototherapy protocol due to failure to demonstrate understanding of the following: 1. How to operate the phototherapy device 2. How to follow the dosing protocol 3. Requirement to wear protective eyewear and genital protection equipment 3. Patients with known history of lack of efficacy to phototherapy or treated with phototherapy 14 days prior to baseline visit 4. Psoriasis predominantly located on scalp, body folds, genitals, palms and/or soles or with a physician global assessment average of ≤ 1.0 5. Patients deemed unsafe to be treated with phototherapy: 1. History of photosensitivity or autoimmune disease such as lupus or dermatomyositis which can be aggravated by ultraviolet radiation 2. History of arsenic intake 3. Unable to tolerate standing for required duration of treatment due to age or physical function 4. History of melanoma or multiple non-melanoma skin cancers that in the opinion of the principal investigator contraindicates treatment with phototherapy 6. Clinical site deems the participant is ineligible for reason other than eligibility or screening criteria.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Score of Clear/Almost Clear12 weeks after randomization or earlier at discontinuation of phototherapyMeasure of clinical treatment response, with PGA score of 0/1 (clear/almost clear). PGA score range from 0 (clear) to 5 (worst disease state).
Impact of Dermatological Disease on Quality of Life (DLQI ≤5)12 weeks after randomization or earlier at discontinuation of phototherapyDermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of ≤5 which corresponds to no to small impact of dermatologic disease on quality of life. DLQI is a 10 item survey that asks patients questions about their health related quality of life on a 0-3 scale. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired

Physician Global Assessment Times Body Surface Area (PGAxBSA)12 weeks after randomization or earlier at discontinuation of phototherapyThe difference in PGAxBSA from baseline to week 12. Values range from -500 to 500, with negative values indicating improvement in disease. BSA is a measure of the body surface area affected by psoriasis using the handprint method in which the palm of the entire hand approximates 1% of the body surface area. PGA is previously described. The product of the two measurements (PGA×BSA) has been investigated to assess psoriasis severity, with higher values indicating greater disease burden. Reference: Chiesa Fuxench et al.

DLQI (0-1)

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of ≤1 which corresponds to no impact of dermatologic disease on quality of life. DLQI is a 10 item survey that asks patients questions about their health related quality of life on a 0-3 scale. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired

Physician Global Assessment Times Body Surface Area (PGAxBSA)

The difference in PGAxBSA from baseline to week 12. Values range from -500 to 500, with negative values indicating improvement in disease. BSA is a measure of the body surface area affected by psoriasis using the handprint method in which the palm of the entire hand approximates 1% of the body surface area. PGA is previously described. The product of the two measurements (PGA×BSA) has been investigated to assess psoriasis severity, with higher values indicating greater disease burden. Reference: Chiesa Fuxench et al. Validity of the simple-measure for assessing psoriasis activity (S-MAPA) for objectively evaluating disease severity in patients with plaque psoriasis. J Am Acad Dermatol 2015;73:868-7.
